Hi
i'm trying to allow the users of my editorpart to delete editparts from
the canvas, i've installed an editpolicy to these editparts (the
editpolicy extends ComponentEditPolicy, and implements the method
createDeleteCommand, that returns a command that i created for that
matter), the role of the editpolicy is EditPolicy.COMPONENT_ROLE. i also
added the delete action to the cotext menu contributor and to the action
registry (and also added a key listener to the DEL key). when the context
menu opens the delete action apears there, but it is disabled. moreover,
when i press the DEL key after i select an editpart nothing happends. do
you have any ideas?
thanks
yoav

my editor.

You shouldn't add any key listeners like this. The reason is that you will
be able to delete an object while it is being dragged. In general,
everything should be "locked" during a drag, such as Undo, Redo, Delete. No
menu accelerators function during a drag, so we're safe there. But the
canvas still gets key events.

To get this for *free*, create a GraphicalViewerKeyHandler for your
GraphicalViewer. Then, do a:
sharedKeyHandler.put(
KeyStroke.getPressed(SWT.DEL, 0),
getActionRegistry().getAction(DeleteAction.ID));

KeyHandler's will only get KeyEvents at the appropriate time. In this case,
the SelectionTool will forward the key's for you.

You can also create a common keyhandler to be used by more than one
EditPartViewer, and then 1 or more specific handler customized for each
viewer. User KeyHandler.setNext() to delegate to the common one.

It is new and undocumented.
See its usage in LogicEditor.
