Creating something that is immediately available in DirectEdit mode [message #182212]

Hi,

In pursuit of my understanding of how to wire together tools to handle
more complex behavior, I am begining my attempts with trying to tweak
the CreationTool to create a node but have it immediately available in
an open state for editing. This is of course proving tricky.

What I'm trying to do is overide handleButtonUp to do all the
appropriate creating and then attempt to follow up with the handling
specific to the select's tool direct editing.

If anyone has any advice or alternatives to this approach. I would
appreciate them.

thanks,
John

In your createCommand you could tweak it so that after the child model
object has been created and added to the parent it could fire off ane event.
i.e child.fire(new ForcedDirectEditEvent(child));
The editpart can be listening for this event and respond by opening a
direct edit session on itself.
This is how I did it anyway.

Or override CreationTool 's performCreation() method and at the end past the
DirectEditRequest directly to the newly created EditPart (see
selectAddedObject() to see how to find the new EditPart).
