Assuming you already show some attribute in your diagram and you want this
attribute edit part to `point' somewhere else:
You should override resolveSemanticElement() of your attribute edit part
to return the referenced object (look to in GraphicalEditPart to see how
it's done).
This method in the attribute editPart passes the referenced
object to the parser:
public String getEditText() {
EObject element = resolveSemanticElement();
return (element == null) ? "" //$NON-NLS-1$
: getParser().getEditString(
new EObjectAdapter(element),
getParserOptions().intValue());
}
The parser is set by this other method:
public IParser getParser() {
if (parser == null) {
String parserHint = ((View)getModel()).getType();
EObject element = resolveSemanticElement();
if (element != null) {
ParserHintAdapter hintAdapter =
new ParserHintAdapter(element, parserHint);
parser = ParserService.getInstance().getParser(hintAdapter);
}
}
return parser;
}
It calls the ParserService which in turn calls your ParserProvider. So you
might have to extend the generated Provider to handle this attribute, but
it's very easy.
This other method, keeps synchs with the model:
protected void addSemanticListeners() {
if (getParser() instanceof ISemanticParser) {
EObject semanticElement = resolveSemanticElement();
parserElements =
((ISemanticParser) getParser()).getSemanticElementsBeingParsed(semanticElement) ;
for (int i = 0; i < parserElements.size(); i++)
addListenerFilter("SemanticModel" + i, this,(EObject)parserElements.get(i)); //$NON-NLS-1$
} else
super.addSemanticListeners();
}
