    • canDelete

      public boolean canDelete(IDeleteContext context)
      Description copied from interface: IDelete
      Can delete hook. Needs to be implemented in order to decide if a feature can (and wants to) handle a delete request.
      Specified by:
      canDelete in interface IDelete
      Overrides:
      canDelete in class DefaultDeleteFeature
      Parameters:
      context - the context describing the request
      Returns:
      true, if the feature can perform the delete operation
    • preDelete

      public void preDelete(IDeleteContext context)
      Description copied from interface: IDelete
      Pre delete hook that can be implemented by users to perform any operations that need to be done before the standard delete functionality starts. Be sure to call DefaultDeleteFeature#setDoneChanges(boolean) in case you modify any EMF objects to enable that the command stack gets updated.
      Specified by:
      preDelete in interface IDelete
      Overrides:
      preDelete in class DefaultDeleteFeature
      Parameters:
      context - the context
    • isDeleteAbort

      public boolean isDeleteAbort()
      Description copied from interface: IDelete
      The Graphiti framework will call this method after IDelete.preDelete(IDeleteContext) has been called and before the actual delete is done. In case this method returns true, the operation will be cancelled by the Graphiti framework by throwing an OperationCanceledException that causes am EMF revert of the operation.

      Implementing classes might e.g. set a flag in IDelete.preDelete(IDeleteContext) as cancellation indication and check that that flag here.

      Specified by:
      isDeleteAbort in interface IDelete
      Overrides:
      isDeleteAbort in class DefaultDeleteFeature
      Returns:
      true in case you want to cancel the current operation, false otherwise.

    • delete

      public void delete(IDeleteContext context)
      Description copied from interface: IDelete
      Hook to implement the actual delete functionality.
      Specified by:
      delete in interface IDelete
      Overrides:
      delete in class DefaultDeleteFeature
      Parameters:
      context - the context
    • postDelete

      public void postDelete(IDeleteContext context)
      Description copied from interface: IDelete
      Post delete hook that can be implemented by users to perform any operations that need to be done after the standard delete functionality ends.
      Specified by:
      postDelete in interface IDelete
      Overrides:
      postDelete in class DefaultDeleteFeature
      Parameters:
      context - the context
    • isAbort

      public boolean isAbort()
      Description copied from interface: ICustomAbortableUndoRedoFeature
      The Graphiti framework will call this method after ICustomUndoRedoFeature.preUndo(org.eclipse.graphiti.features.context.IContext)/ ICustomUndoRedoFeature.preRedo(org.eclipse.graphiti.features.context.IContext) have been called and before the actual undo/redo operation is triggered. In case this method returns true, the operation will be cancelled by the Graphiti framework by throwing an OperationCanceledException that causes am EMF revert of the operation.

      Implementing classes might e.g. set a flag in ICustomUndoRedoFeature.preUndo(org.eclipse.graphiti.features.context.IContext)/ ICustomUndoRedoFeature.preRedo(org.eclipse.graphiti.features.context.IContext) as cancellation indication and check that that flag here.

      Specified by:
      isAbort in interface ICustomAbortableUndoRedoFeature
      Returns:
      true in case you want to cancel the current operation, false otherwise.

    • canUndo

      public boolean canUndo(IContext context)
      Description copied from interface: IFeature
      Decides if the current feature can be undone - this is the undo of the execute operation.
      Specified by:
      canUndo in interface ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      Specified by:
      canUndo in interface IFeature
      Overrides:
      canUndo in class AbstractFeature
      Parameters:
      context - this is the general input for this method
      Returns:
      true if the feature can be undone, false if not

    • preUndo

      public void preUndo(IContext context)
      Description copied from interface: ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      This method will be called by the Graphiti framework before the EMF undo is triggered. Customers may revert their non-EMF changes done by the feature here or in ICustomUndoRedoFeature.postUndo(IContext).
      Specified by:
      preUndo in interface ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      Parameters:
      context - this is the instance of the IContext object that was in use when executing the feature
      Since:
      0.12
    • postUndo

      public void postUndo(IContext context)
      Description copied from interface: ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      This method will be called by the Graphiti framework after the EMF undo is finished. Customers may revert their non-EMF changes done by the feature here or in ICustomUndoRedoFeature.preUndo(IContext).
      Specified by:
      postUndo in interface ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      Parameters:
      context - this is the instance of the IContext object that was in use when executing the feature
      Since:
      0.12
    • canRedo

      public boolean canRedo(IContext context)
      Description copied from interface: ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      Decides if the processed feature can be re-done. This method is called once by the Graphiti framework just before any redo work is started, e.g. before ICustomUndoRedoFeature.preRedo(IContext).

      Note that as soon as any feature reports false here, also all consecutive entries in the command stack are no longer reachable for redo.

      Specified by:
      canRedo in interface ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      Parameters:
      context - this is the instance of the IContext object that was in use when executing the feature
      Returns:
      true if the feature can be re-done, false if not
    • preRedo

      public void preRedo(IContext context)
      Description copied from interface: ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      This method will be called by the Graphiti framework before the EMF undo has triggered. Customers may re-apply their non-EMF changes done by the feature here or in ICustomUndoRedoFeature.postRedo(IContext). (Usually it might be sufficient to delegate to the execution method of the feature.)
      Specified by:
      preRedo in interface ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      Parameters:
      context - this is the instance of the IContext object that was in use when executing the feature
      Since:
      0.12
    • postRedo

      public void postRedo(IContext context)
      Description copied from interface: ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      This method will be called by the Graphiti framework after the EMF undo has finished. Customers may re-apply their non-EMF changes done by the feature here or in ICustomUndoRedoFeature.preRedo(IContext). (Usually it might be sufficient to delegate to the execution method of the feature.)
      Specified by:
      postRedo in interface ICustomUndoRedoFeature
      Parameters:
      context - this is the instance of the IContext object that was in use when executing the feature

    • hasDoneChanges

      public boolean hasDoneChanges()
      Description copied from interface: IFeature
      Is queried by the framework after a feature has been executed to find out if this feature should appear in the undo stack of e.g. an editor. By default all features should appear there (see implementation in AbstractFeature), but features may decide to override this behavior. Note that this is a dynamic attribute of the feature that is queried each time after the feature has been executed.

      IMPORTANT NOTE: The implementor of the feature is responsible for correctly implementing this method! It might lead to inconsistencies in the command stack if this method returns false although the feature did changes.

      Specified by:
      hasDoneChanges in interface IFeature
      Overrides:
      hasDoneChanges in class DefaultDeleteFeature
      Returns:
      true if the feature should appear in the undo stack, false otherwise
