Re: [gef-dev] Non-graphical edit parts.

[Randy Hudson <hudsonr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is support for non-graphical editparts
in an SWT Tree.  But, you cannot mix editpart types.  Why do
you bother having an editpart if it isn't visible in the diagram?  The
whole point of an editpart is to link the model, view, and interactions
with the view.

The answer is most likely 3., but I'd
like to know how this was useful.

Hi all.
In my application not all the children of the graphical edit parts are
instances of the GraphicalEditPart (as they are not shown on the screen).
But I often receive ClassCastException. While I am developing the
application I am patching GEF code (in renamed classes).

I've got following questions:
1. I am developing on a GEF 2.1.2. Will the support for non-graphical edit
parts be improved in the next release?
2. May be it would make sence to submit updated code?
3. Or it is strictly prohibited to use them (though they proved really
useful for me)

Best regards,
Eugene
