[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Refreshing Palette View without closing/

[natacha bagnard <bagnard.natacha@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I've try to do this by using 
PaletteService.getInstance().updatePalette(existingRoot, editor, 
content) but it didn't work. So I do it using 
PaletteService.getInstance().createPalette(editor, content).

Here is the sample code I use :
/** Create a new palette root **/
PaletteRoot content = new PaletteRoot();

/** Get the old palette root and containers **/
/** Method to get palette root must be writen **/
List< PaletteContainer > containers = 
****DiagramEditor.getPaletteRoot().getChildren();

/** Create entry to add to container **/
PaletteEntry entry = ****PaletteFactory.createXXXCreationTool();

/** Add it **/
containers.get(my_container).add(entry);

/** Add containers to new palette root **/
for(int i=; i<containers.size(); i++){
	content.add(containers.get(i));
}

/** Create the palette **/ 
PaletteService.getInstance().createPalette(Cimero2EditorDiagramEditorUtil.getActiveEditor(), 
content);

/** Set the root**/
Cimero2EditorDiagramEditor.setPaletteRoot(content);

This will refresh your palette when you call it.

Regards,
Natacha
