Hi,
I have a question about the class org.eclipse.bpmn2.modeler.core.merrimac.dialogs.TextObjectEditor
It looks to me that the multi-line feature is not working as expected?
I try to create the editor widget like this:
TextObjectEditor valueEditor = new TextObjectEditor(this, metaData, METADATA_VALUE);
valueEditor.setMultiLine(true);
valueEditor.createControl(this, "Value");
But in this case the editor will be displayed as a single line editor with a heightHint of 100 but with no multi-line and no scroll bar.
It only works if I create the editor like this:
TextObjectEditor valueEditor = new TextObjectEditor(this, metaData, METADATA_VALUE);
valueEditor.setMultiLine(true);
valueEditor.setStyle( SWT.MULTI | SWT.V_SCROLL);
valueEditor.createControl(this, "Value");
So I need to set the style 'SWT.MULTI' explicit.
If I look into the sources of the method setMultiLine() it seems to be logical that the call
valueEditor.setMultiLine(true);
is not enough and has no effect. Is this the desired behavior of that method?
Maybe this is a side effect of the CData model extension? But setting the style to SWT.MULTI | SWT.V_SCROLL everything woks perfect.

Hey Ralph,
Yep, looks like you're right (as usual  ) I don't know what the heck I was thinking when I wrote that code. It looks like the test for multiline in createControl() is at fault:
@Override
protected Control createControl(Composite composite, String label, int style) {
createLabel(composite,label);
if (testMultiLine && super.isMultiLineText()) {
multiLine = true;
style |= SWT.MULTI | SWT.V_SCROLL;
}
I think it should look more like this:
@Override
protected Control createControl(Composite composite, String label, int style) {
createLabel(composite,label);
if (multiLine || (testMultiLine && super.isMultiLineText())) {
multiLine = true;
style |= SWT.MULTI | SWT.V_SCROLL;
}
because of the setMultiLine() method:
public void setMultiLine(boolean multiLine) {
testMultiLine = false;
this.multiLine = multiLine;
}
What I wanted to accomplish was to allow custom property tabs to override the multiline setting from the ExtendedPropertiesAdapter's isMultiLine(), hence the use of the "testMultiLine" flag here.
Please create a bugzilla to track this issue.
Thanks!
Bob
