[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Change location on creation

[j.cardenete@xxxxxxxxxx (Javier )]

Hello,

these are the possible solutions I found when working with similar 
problems:

1- Handling the position of the new element in the NewElementViewFactory, 
using layout constraint on the View:
 Node node = getViewService().createNode(...)
 BoundsImpl bi = (BoundsImpl) node.getLayoutConstraint();
 bi.setY(5);
 bi.setX(250);

2- Modifying the CreationEditPolicy installed in the EditPart in which you 
insert that new element. It implements this method: 
 protected Command getCreateElementAndViewCommand(
           CreateViewAndElementRequest request)

3- Listening for the notification of the new addition in the 
handleNotificationEvent() method of the parent EditPart

Hope this helps,

Javier.
