Re: [ve-dev] Customised Swing layout manager


Hi,

A little typo, to get your layout manager to show in the property sheet you create an override for Layout.override, not Container.override. You just create a new override, put the extension point in to pick it up as an override and add another annotation. See the Layout.override that already exists to see how to do that.

Re: [ve-dev] Customised Swing layout manager






Hi Rashmi,


The best way is to look at how this is done for a layout manager like, say, BorderLayout.    There is a file BorderLayout.override and this defines the decorator for a factory, and the factory lets you control things like GEF edit policies (that you will need to build).  Look at the existing factories and you should get a feel for how to do this.


To get your layout manager to appear in the drop down list of available layout managers in the property sheet look at Container.override.  You could change the base file to add your own which would work OK for you, but better would be to have your own Container.override in your own plugin and defined your own layout manager.  

If you need help understanding how to create a plugin and get started with .override try the Visual Editor tutorial on eclipse corner and the VE homepage.


Best regards and please keep us informed of how you get on,


Joe Winchester

[ve-dev] Customised Swing layout manager


Hi all,

I have implemented a swing layout manager along with the constraints class. I loaded it to the eclipse enviroment as a bundle in the plugin. Now when i use this layout in a visual class I am able to arrange the components by changing the constraints values from the source view. But i am unable to move the component on the design view(changing the constraints from the properties and design view) .Can you help me out to solve my layout poblem. Do i need to implement some a layout assistant that will interface with my layout manager and the visualeditor.

Best Regards
-Rashmi
