getProposalSupport

public IProposalSupport getProposalSupport()

Description copied from interface: IDirectEditing

The direct editing mode contains controls for code completion and the selection from a combo box. In both cases the standard implementation supports only strings.

If the customer wants to work with Objects he must provide an implementation of IProposalSupport. In this case the following methods of IDirectEditing are ignored:


* String checkValueValid(String value, IDirectEditingContext context);
* String completeValue(String value, int caretPosition, String choosenValue, IDirectEditingContext context);
* String[] getPossibleValues(IDirectEditingContext context);
* String[] getValueProposals(String value, int caretPosition, IDirectEditingContext context);
* void setValue(String value, IDirectEditingContext context);

Specified by:

getProposalSupport in interface IDirectEditing

Overrides:

getProposalSupport in class AbstractDirectEditingFeature

Returns:

the special implementation to support Objects in code completion and combo box

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.

Since:

0.12

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

See Also:

• IContext

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

Since:

0.8

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

Since:
