I want to implement windowshades like functionality in my editor, that is ,
have a toggle that lets me collapse or expand the figure. I am
accomplishing this by returning an empty list in the figure's
getModelChildren() depending on a setting in the model.
I want to have an expand/collapse Label on the figure which the user would
click on to trigger this. I added a MouseListener to the Label and can
capture the mouse down event. How do I determine which EditPart is being
clicked? Figures don't know about EditParts. Am I going about this the
wrong way?

Sapna, what Pasi suggested is the recommended way of doing this.

The only difficulty in figure collapse is that editparts aren't very smart
about their figures being hidden, and they may remain selected even though
the figure is clipped or hidden.
It's still MVC, the view is displaying a toggle button, which flips a bit in
the controller, which owns the view, so it can do whatever it wants. Some
applications may save expansion state in the model, but without the use of a
command, or at least without dirtying the command stack.
