Re: [emf-dev] Allowing custom property editors
|
Hi.
Well actually the idea was to do it in plain EMF.Edit. I know there are frameworks like EEF, Papyrus, etc.
However I want a simple and framework independent way.
But thanks for mentioning the idea! And please send me a pointer to more information. As I did not look deeper into Papyrus.
Best regards
Jens

This process takes place in PropertyDescriptor.createPropertyEditor(...). However there seems to be no extensible way to intercept this process and inject a custom property editor.

If one editor implementation still uses the default implementation, then the whole process would be broken for a extending model.
