Hi there,
Say I want to just listen for selection of an EditPart. So I create an
EditPart and register an EditPolicy. For example the following:
protected void createEditPolicies() {
installEditPolicy(EditPolicy.SELECTION_FEEDBACK_ROLE, new
MyEditPolicy());
}
And then I have my own EditPolicy as follows:
private final class MyEditPolicy extends SelectionEditPolicy {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see
org.eclipse.gef.editpolicies.SelectionEditPolicy#hideSelecti on()
*/
protected void hideSelection() {
System.err.println("hideSelection");
// Called when the user clicks away from the assoc message
label
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see
org.eclipse.gef.editpolicies.SelectionEditPolicy#showSelecti on()
*/
protected void showSelection() {
System.err.println("showSelection");
// Called when the user clicks on the assoc message label
}
public Command getCommand(Request request) {
System.err.println("getCommand: " + request.getType());
return [something];
}
}
So hide() and show() are fired as expected... only I want to use
Requests. So I examine them, but the only requests ever fired have a type
of "delete". These are also always GroupRequests. Is there no such thing
as a request of type "selection"? GroupRequest does not provide me with
anything useful for what I want, e.g. location of the mouse pointer.
I've tried different EditPolicies and roles only the same thing, just
"delete" all the time.
Can anyone help here?
Thanks, Dan

All I want is a small clickable icon on the drawing surface of my

Connection). When the user clicks on the icon they get a popup allowing
them to associate something with the Connection.
What I do now is create the icon as a child EditPart of the Connection.
This would be accomplished ideally with GEF commands for undo/redo
functionality. I thought this could be done with Requests, selecting the
icon (which would be an EditPart I thought) would cause some kind of
request, no?
Thanks, Dan

Can I delete this "child"? Drag it? If not, it could just be a figure
which decorates the PolylineConnection figure.

If the child is its own editpart, it will receive OPEN and DIRECT_EDIT
requests. But, even if it is NOT an editpart, the connection will receive
these requests, and the connection can compare the request *location* to the
location of the icon figure.

Well that's the problem. I don't get OPEN or DIRECT_EDIT requests, just
GroupRequests with type "delete". I think the editor must be configured
incorrectly somewhere (this is an existing codebase I'm working on here).
Thanks, Dan

This is working fine for me. performRequest is called with both types of
requests for wires in the logic example.
