Edit policy not used by DelayedDirectEditHelper? [message #181891] Thu, 19 May 2005 21:41 Go to next message

I'm using the direct edit request to change modes on my text objects.
If a direct edit request is received, I enter edit mode.

Direct edit requests are generated by
SelectEditPartTracker#performDirectEdit by way of
DelayedDirectEditHelper. Why does DelayedDirectEditHelper send its
requests directly to the Part instead of passing them to any edit
policies the part has installed?

Thanks,

Fred

All requests go to the part, and it is the EditPart that forwards the
requests to its EditPolicies. See AbstractEditPart#getCommand(). With
direct editing (and other things, such as REQ_OPEN) there is usually not be
a command that can be retrieved right away, so those cases are handled via
performRequest().

Hi Pratik,

Thanks for the reply. I think I understand now how this works, and I
now simply enter edit mode and return null in getCommand. That does the
trick.

Thanks,

Fred
