Hi,

I want to make it possible to let the use move an anchor. I tried to add a
XYLaoutPolicy to the Connection, hoping I get an request fo a
moveChangedCommand, but I get no one.

My question is, how can I get the new coordinates, if the user moves the
anchor?

thangs in advance
Hannes

Hi,

I suppose you have to create an editpart with a little figure, which hosts
your anchor to receive move-requests.

No, you don't. There are already endpoint handles (EndpointEditPolicy),
which send "reconnect" requests to the target node. All you have to do is
interpret those requests as moves, and create commands that move the anchors
in the model. Then, when you refresh your figure, set the appropriate
connection anchor on the connection based on the model's properties. You
will have to write a simple anchor implementation for this.

Thank you. I'll try this.
