[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: property with File Browser Dialog

[john.watson@xxxxxxxxx (John Watson)]

Hi Ed,

Thank you for the link. I tryed to use some of the solutions but it didn't 
help me very much.
For example:

The editor has this:

     propertySheetPage.setPropertySourceProvider(new  
AdapterFactoryContentProvider(adapterFactory));

so you can override the the content provider to create a derived
property source:

   protected IPropertySource createPropertySource(Object object,
   IItemPropertySource itemPropertySource)
   {
     return new PropertySource(object, itemPropertySource);
   }

and you can override the property source to create a derived property
descriptor:

   protected IPropertyDescriptor
   createPropertyDescriptor(IItemPropertyDescriptor
   itemPropertyDescriptor)
   {
     return new PropertyDescriptor(object, itemPropertyDescriptor);
   }

And there you can implement whatever logic you want to produce
alternative cell editors in whatever situations they would be appropriate.



I change the propertySheetPage.setPropertySourceProviderto use my own 
class (new  CustomAdapterFactoryContentProvider(adapterFactory));

But it's not called from Diagram. I noticed that GMF uses 
%Model%PropertyProvider extends GenericEMFPropertiesProvider

and only the addImagePropertyDescriptor {itemPropertyDescriptors.add(..)} 
from ItemProvider


and I don't know how to chnage that method to achieve the desired result
