Dynamic path to Icon [message #1397102] Wed, 09 July 2014 07:47 Go to next message

Hi all,

I would like to retrieve icon according to the name of a component of my
DSL.
I can use conditional styles but I still have to give a static path to
my icon.
Is it possible to reference an icon path with an expression based on
semantics? something like '/xxx/YYY/' + self.name + '.png'
Thanks

Raphaël

The current expect path is a static path. Dynamic or interpreted
expression have a yellow background color in the VSM editor [1]. There
is no current plan to make the icon path dynamic.

However, there could be another but global solution: you should look
into the getImage() method of your generated item providers, you could
replace the @generated by @generate-not or @not-generated and modify the
image computation. Then it will affect the representations and the
views, wizards, .. not only in Sirius but in all the places where the
label provider asks the adapter factory to get the image.
