Default Grid View for GMF Editor [message #166656]

Hi,

I found various links talking about making the grid visible by default.
Among others this one:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.gmf/m sg09413.html

My problem is, nothing happens. Here is what I did:
1. Created my own XXXPreferenceInitializer that extends the
DiagramPreferenceInitializer generated by GMF
2. In the Extension page of the plugin.xml of the diagram plugin I added
my custom XXXPreferenceInitializer to the
org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences

When I go through the code in debug mode the code is executed, but
nevertheless the grid is not vilible on the canvas.

Can anyone tell me what may be the problem?

Thanks a lot.

Marsha

Me again,

I also tried to put the custom code in the DiagramPreferencesInitializer
generated by GMF directly. This does not work either.

Anyone an idea why?

My initializeDefaultPreferences() method:
/**
* @generated NOT
*/
public void initializeDefaultPreferences() {
IPreferenceStore store = getPreferenceStore();
DiagramPrintingPreferencePage.initDefaults(store);
DiagramGeneralPreferencePage.initDefaults(store);
DiagramAppearancePreferencePage.initDefaults(store);
DiagramConnectionsPreferencePage.initDefaults(store);
//DiagramRulersAndGridPreferencePage.initDefaults(store);
store.setDefault(IPreferenceConstants.PREF_SHOW_GRID, true);
}

Marsha,

This works fine in the Logic Diagram Example.

The preference store you are using needs to be the same one that is
registered with the PreferencesHint class in your Plugin class.

Hi Cherie,

Thanks for our answer and your hint. But I'm using the same that was
registered with the PreferencesHint. The getPreferenceStore() method is
implemented as follows:

/**
* @generated
*/
protected IPreferenceStore getPreferenceStore() {
return GameDiagramEditorPlugin.getInstance().getPreferenceStore();
}

But still, if I run the plug-in, there is no Grid visible.

Could it be that I have to install the plug-in rather than to start an new
application? This shouldn't be the problem no?

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Marsha

Hi,

I found the problem I think.

Before I had the idea to set the grid by default I experimented a bit.
Apperantly these personal changes (personal preferences) are stronger
than the ones set by default.
Once I created a new file with a new editor the grid was visible.
