I realize that there exists a view model element Tree Master Detail Views for realizing the master detail with a tree, is there however a way to realize this with the default renderer?

I imagine something like this which is not supported, harnessing the e4 way to do it

// NOT WORKING CODE
ECPFXView view;
	
	@Inject
	public ContactDetailsViewForms(BorderPane parent, final MApplication application) {
		ECPFXView view = ECPFXViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render((Contact) null);
		parent.setCenter(view.getFXNode());
	}

	@Inject
	public void setSelection(@Optional Contact selectedItem) {
		view.setEObject(selectedItem);
	}

Hi,

the JavaFX renderer currently does not support the tree master detail
view model element, meaning there is a renderer for SWT, but currently
not for JavaFX. Sponsoring or contributions are welcome! :-)

Best regards

Jonas

Hy Jonas,

thanks for the Feedback. So the Tree master detail is not available for JavaFX thats okay, but does there exist a view model that supports master detail pattern, without using the Tree master detail view model element - as described above?

thank you very much!!

Hy,

no, otherwise we would not have created the tree master details view
model element ;).

Hi,
first of all I must say, that there is a TreeMasterDetail Renderer for JavaFX. It still would need polishing but it works.
Secondly, as far as I understand, you want to have a view on the left hand side and by selecting some element there and setting it to the selectionservice you want to update the right hand side?
Take a look at http://git.eclipse.org/c/emfclient/org.eclipse.emf.ecp.core.git/tree/bundles/javafx/org.eclipse.emf.ecp.application.e4.fx . It opens a new Editor for each element, but the code of the editor would still be more or less the same:
//no guarantee for completness
@Inject BorderPane parent;

@Inject
public ContactDetailsViewForms(
}

@Inject
public void setSelection(@Optional Contact selectedItem) {
if(selectedItem!=null){
ECPFXView view = ECPFXViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render(selectedItem);
parent.setCenter(view.getFXNode());
}
}
