Re: [sapphire-dev] java type action customizations
Hey Konstantin,

For Browse, 

I got the filter hooked up, no problem and am now contributing my own browse actions instead.  However, one thing I haven't figured out is how to disable one of my "browse" action on a particular property based on the state of the model, i.e. if another property has a value or not.  Can you do this with a Condition class?  I tried at first but I don't see the condition class get recalcuated based on a change in the model.  I am also using the @DependsOn annotation at the model level if that makes a difference.

[kosta] There isn’t a built-in system to do what you are after, but you can use a filter to remove the system-provided action handler and attach your own implementation.

 

For Create,

 

I was wondering if there is a way to modify the "create" action to dynamically provide the value of the superclass to use for the new java type?   

 

I know that I add my own custom actions for "browse" and "create" but I wanted to see if we should add this type of capabilities to the framework instead before I wrote my own.  Thanks so much!

 

[kosta] Currently, @JavaTypeConstraint is read directly, so there isn’t a way to substitute dynamic behavior. I can see adding JavaTypeConstraintService like we’ve done in other similar situations. Please open an enhancement request.

Subject: [sapphire-dev] java type action customizations

 

Hello again,

 

In case you haven't figured this out from all of my recent questions, I am in the process of migrating one of our big wizards that has lots of custom dialogs that needs enhancements and instead of fixing my current stuff, I want to move it all to a new sapphire based editor instead.  :)  I already asked one question about being able to toggle the enablement or disablement of java type actions in another post, so I wont add that in here.

 

This latest question has to do with customizing the default java type browse/create actions. Here is what I would like to do:
