Im trying to create a multipage editor like the xml editor, but instead of
the design page, it would have a GEFeditor representing the XML...
I have the multi pages and a simple gef editor in place. now I have to hook
them together.
From my understanding the XML editor has the Source editor handle the DOM,
and the design page makes changes to the Source editor, not to the DOM
directly ... Is my unserstanding correct?
If it is, where is the design page changing the document (source)? Ive
tried to look through the source, but I get Lost with everything that is
going on. Could someone point me in the right direction, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thanks
Brian

No, it makes changes using the DOM interfaces (with help from
IDOMModel) as much as possible. Certain precise changes are often
done using the raw text, but this tends to be used mostly by
formatting and cleanup where whitespace is significant. Selection
and responsibilities such as saving are routed through the
StructuredTextEditor, though.

The design page is actually using the text document to obtain the
DOM model, Otherwise, it tends not to be used there.

Can anyone point me to these said DOM interfaces as im am so lost in how
the editor is making these changes. Closest I can find it is being done
through XMLModelUpdater, but it is in internal and I have no visibility to
use it.
Or am I missing the whole boat?
Basically what I am trying to do is make a multipage editor very similar to
the XSD editor, with source on one page and Gef on the next, when a change
is made in gef page, source knows about it, and same other way around. But
not knowing how to update the DOM, changes to the gef dont keep in sync with
the source.....
Sorry to keep asking the same thing but thak you for your time

Hi ,
Sorry to open this thread again..
Are you guys able to solve the problem to do Sync in between Source and GEF Design page?
I am not able to understand "Changes
made to the model using the DOM interfaces are automatically
reflected in the text". Can you please guide me that how to start with it.
Actually i am completely lost as i have gone through xml bundle source code,I am not able to connect that how are these editor using the DOM Interface to generate xml code so that it would be sync with GEF Design page.
Please help
Thanks...
