Hide create feature of pattern from palette [message #1403373] Wed, 23 July 2014 10:34 Go to next message

In my editor project I am currently using the pattern based approach.

I would like to know if it is possible to hide a specific pattern implementation from the Objects palette, as if there doesn't exist a create feature when one would use the feature based approach.

Thanks in advance.

Homer,

by default the DefaultToolBehaviorProvider will add entries for all create
create and create connection features provided by the feature provider. You
may change that by overriding getPalette in your tool behavior provider.

Thanks for the hint.
For anyone who is using patterns and interested in my solution:

public class MyToolBehaviourProvider extends DefaultToolBehaviorProvider {

	public MyToolBehaviourProvider(IDiagramTypeProvider diagramTypeProvider) {
		super(diagramTypeProvider);
	}

	@Override
	public IPaletteCompartmentEntry[] getPalette() {
		// array of labels of tool entries to hide 
		String[] toolsToHide = new String[] { <CreateNameOfFeaturesToBeHidden> };

		// iterate connection and object creation entries
		IPaletteCompartmentEntry[] compartments = super.getPalette();
		for (IPaletteCompartmentEntry compartmentEntry : compartments) {
			Iterator<IToolEntry> it = compartmentEntry.getToolEntries().iterator();
			while (it.hasNext()) {
				IToolEntry toolEntry = it.next();
				// delete when array contains label of current tool entry
				if (Arrays.asList(toolsToHide).contains(toolEntry.getLabel())) {
					it.remove();
				}

			}
		}
		return compartments;
	}
}

I am not sure which version of Graphiti was used in the question; but I could achieve the same by overriding isPaletteApplicable() method in my pattern class (returned false in this overridden version).
