new CreateElementRequest(type)),Node.class, (

Is there any way to "grab" the newly created element (so I can set it's
properties), or to choose what object is to be created?
(like: ClassNodeImpl dummy = new ClassNodeImpl();
dummy.setName("dummy");
...new CreateElementRequestAdapter(new CreateElementRequest(dummy,
type))...
- I've tried this, no work :(
Thanks,

This gives me an empty element, what I would like is to run something like:
ClassNode dummy = new ClassNodeImpl();
dummy.setName("dummy");
CreateElementRequest eReq = new CreateElementRequest (dummy,
UemlbaseElementTypes.ClassNode_2002);
Strange that it doesn't work...

Hi Tomas,
you can get the reference of the model element created by means of a
CreateElementRequest as follows:
IAdaptable viewAdapter = (IAdaptable) ((List)
request.getNewObject()).get(0);
View view = (View) viewAdapter.getAdapter(View.class);
if (view != null) {
ModelElement element = (ModelElement) view.getElement();
...
}
Once you get the reference to the model element you should change its
attributes by means of creating a SetRequest and executing the command:
this.getDiagramEditDomain().getDiagramCommandStack().execute (new
ICommandProxy(new SetValueCommand(setRequest)));
IHIH

CreateViewRequestFactory.getCreateShapeRequest.." instead :)
But could anyone tell me how to use setRequests? Or point me to an example

Tomas,
are you sure you are creating the request in the right way? I do that as
follows:
IElementType type = XXXElementTypes.ModelElement_1001;
CreateViewRequest request =
CreateViewRequestFactory.getCreateShapeRequest(
type,
this.getDiagramPreferencesHint());
After that I do what I sent to you in the last post and it works.
Best regards,
Bego

The way I did it earlier didn't work. But everything is fine now. I
struggle to unravel SetReqest.
I guess I should instantiate the SetRequest class with the EObject,
stuctural feature, and Object.
But stuctural features are edges/connections aren't they?
Could you give me an example from your case Begoña?
Thanks,
Tomas
