I'm adding code to GEF to check for the "Windows Explorer" version of direct
edit. In the file explorer, if you click on a file to select it, then click
again, it invokes an in place "rename". In GEF, we would do this on
double-click, because this avoid accidental renames that are common in
windows explorer.
Now we will support both double-click, and the "windows explorer" versions
of direct edit. In fact, many applications want both, and interpret
double-click to mean "open", as in a dialog, while single-click is to edit
the name in place. Therefore, I would like to send different
DirectEditRequests to the EditPart so they can distinguish (if they wish)
between the two gestures.
My current thoughts are to take the old request, which was a
REQ_DIRECT_EDIT, and continue sending this type of request on single-click
edits. Then add a new type called REQ_DIRECT_EDIT_OPEN, and send this on
double-click. Both types of request will be sent using a DirectEditRequest,
which will contain the mouse location, allowing the EditPart to hit-test
different locations. Any objections/suggestions?

Hi Randy
I have just started to implement the direct edit in our software. Is this
"two-types of direct edit" being implemented? If not, is there a way I can
control the direct edit behavior myself?

This is implemented in 2.1. On a double-click, the
SelectEditPartTracker will call performRequest() on the target edit part
with a REQ_OPEN request. A single click on an edit part that is already
selected will result in a REQ_DIRECT_EDIT request being sent out.

Hmmm, I always seem to get the direct edits being activated whether single
clicking or not.
Randy talked about a REQ_DIRECT_EDIT_OPEN, which seems to be a different
animal than what you are referring to.
Any insights?
