Re: [ve-dev] Problem while porting to VE 1.2

Hi Janak,

If there was '+' that meant that there
was a beaninfo for it, or it followed the standard beaninfo patterns (i.e.
name of getter/setters are correctly named).

If there is only a getter, but no setter,
then the property is read-only and so it won't show unless the "Read-Only"
preference was selected for the property sheet.

If there was a property descriptor defined
for the containment and it was marked as not expandable then there wouldn't
be any '+'.

To see why there is no '+' sign put
a breakpoint on org.eclipse.ve.internal.propertysheet.AbstractPropertySheetEntry.hasChildEntries()
to debug why no '+'. However be aware this is called for all property sheet
entries so it may take some weeding out until you get to the property of
interest.

Subject	[ve-dev] Problem while porting to VE 1.2

Hi VE Team,

I am porting ULC VE to VE 1.2.

I am facing the following problem:

I have defined a structural feature called "containment" on ULCComponent.

When a ULCComponent is added to a ULCContainer such as ULCBoxPane, we set
a
Java Object as value of the "containment" SF.

This Java Object has all the attributes related to its containment in the
container. For insatnce, for a ULCBoxPane it will have a instance of class
that has attrs like row, column, hspan, vspan, alignment. For tabbed pane
it
will have an instance of class that has title, icon, tooltiptext.

When a component is contained in a container, the "containment"
SF appears
in the property sheet

With VE 1.1, in the property sheet, the "containment" SF appeared
with a +
sign and on expansion it displayed its attributes which could be edited.

In VE 1.2, the "containment" SF does not show the "+"
sign and therefore it
is not possible expand it and edit its attributes.

Could you please tell me what has changed? What is affecting this behaviour?

Thanks and regards,

Janak
