Re: [sapphire-dev] new diagram connection element
Hi Shenxue,

Thanks for the note about the default value, I will give it a try.

Regarding the new connection, yes when I type in a name (when the label is initially blank) as soon as I hit enter, the connection is duplicated.  I can see if I can debug through it today and take a look.

As for the default label, the label text can be an _expression_ in which you can specify a default value. Here is an example:

 

    <connection-binding>

      <connection-id>controlFlowCase</connection-id>

      <property>ControlFlowRules</property>

      <label>

        <text>${FromOutcome == null ? "&lt;*&gt;" : FromOutcome}</text>

      </label>

      ....

    </connection-binding>

 

When editing the label text, it should not create a new diagram connection part. Do you see a new connection showing up in your diagram when you edit a label?

Nevermind, this issue, it was because I had debug breakpoints during the creation and when I would resume the label box was not automatically made editable.  But when I do it with breakpoints disabled I see the label editing feature.

 

But this leads to my 2nd question, in my diagram when I do edit the label it will duplicate the connection part in the diagram, but it doesn't duplicate anything in the underlying model.  Any thoughts?

I have a case where a new connection that is created in the diagram editor sets a property on a modelElement but it doesn't yet have a valid label so the label doesn't show up and is not able to be edited.  

 

Is there a way that I can be notified when a new connection is created so that I can initialize the connection model element so that it will have a default label?

 

Thanks!
