Adding figure to sub panel [message #219165]

Hi,

How do I let GEF know that I would like to add a child figure to a sub
panel and not directly on the figure when I have multiple sub panel
inside the figure? By default, Gef adds all the figure to the main
figure. It is almost as if I have to overide the getContentPane() at
the correct moment and return the correct sub figure for Gef. Could you
please point me to the right direction?

Thank you.

In my Figure, I have:
class MyFigure
{
public Figure()
{
Figure sub1 = new Figure();
Figure sub2 = new Figure();

add(sub1);
add(sub2);
}
}

In my model, I have:
class MyModel
{
public LinkedList values = new LinkedList();
String one = new String("In sub1");
String two = new String("In sub2");
values.add(one);
values.add(two);
}

In my EditPart, I have:
class MyEditPart
{
protected List getModelChildren()
{
((MyModel)getModel()).values;
}
}

I found a way to do this by overiding addChildVisual method inside the
editpart class. Instead of calling getContentPane() as in the base
class (AbstractGraphicalEditPart), I used my own getSub1ContentPane()
and getSub2ContentPane() depending on the passed in argument. It seems
to work well now.

If this is not the correct way to do it, please let me know.

Thank you.
