Re: [sapphire-dev] Questions about hooking up the Properties view to a Node 
Brian,

Your code snippet looks fine. I would expect you to see a single page (tab)
in the properties view with the Name property editor. Not sure why that
isn't working for you. Is the architecture sample and its contribution to
the properties view working for you?

Hi Shenxue!

Well... the property is ok - the property is actually named "composites" and
is listed as such in my editor page as well. 

I can select a composite on the canvas all I want and nothing changes in the
Properties view, probably because the  <properties-view> element is trying
to show the name of the "composites" property and not a child "composite" as
I expected.

So this goes back to the diagram-in-a-diagram problem as chicken & egg....

Hi Brain,

The properties view for the diagram page is sensitive to the selections. If
the diagram page is in focus and nothing is seletced on the diagram, it
displays the properties page for the diagram. Since you probably don't have
properties page defined for the diagram, you'd see "No Properties" in the
properties view. Once you select a node in the diagram page, you should see
the properties view to change to display the properties for the node. If you
selected multiple nodes, then you see "No Properties" again.


The syntax for your composite node properties page seems all right. One
thing that is a little odd is

<property>composites</property>

I'd expect your "composites" list property to be "Composites"?

Hi all...

So I'm back to seeing how the Graphiti + Properties view hookup works and am
running into some issues.

The Architecture example defines one <properties-view> element at the
<diagram-page> level:

[code]
        <properties-view>
            <page>
                <label>description</label>
                <content>
                    <property-editor>
                        <property>Description</property>
                        <hint>
                            <name>show.label</name>
                            <value>false</value>
                        </hint>
                        <hint>
                            <name>expand.vertically</name>
                            <value>true</value>
                        </hint>
                    </property-editor>
                </content>
            </page>
        </properties-view>
    </diagram-page>[/code]

And another at the <node> level and another at the <connection-binding>
level.

I just have one <properties-view> element defined at the node level and it's
not getting hooked up properly:

[code]
    <diagram-page>
        <id>diagram</id>
        <page-name>SwitchyardDiagram</page-name>
        <page-header-text>SwitchYard Diagram</page-header-text>
        <node>
            <id>composites</id>
            <tool-palette-label>composite</tool-palette-label>
            <tool-palette-desc>service composite</tool-palette-desc>
            <property>composites</property>
            <label>${Name == null ? &quot;&lt;composite&gt;&quot; :
Name}</label>
            <instance-id>${Name}</instance-id>
            <properties-view>
                <page>
                    <label>Composite Properties</label>
                    <content>
                        <property-editor>
                            <property>Name</property>
                        </property-editor>
                    </content>
                </page>
            </properties-view>
        </node>
        ...
     </diagram-page>
[/code]

Do I need to define the <properties-view> linkage in three different places
to get it to show up? Right now where it is I see "No Properties" in the
properties view when I hook up my node. I don't really have any properties
for the root level diagram element, so defining a page there makes no sense
to me. 

Am I looking at this wrong?

Thanks in advance for any guidance. :)
