[news.eclipse.tools.gef] How to get information from user in the getCrea

[Barry Andrews <bandrews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my getCreateCommand() method in XYLayoutEditPolicy, I want to get 
information from the user, for example the name of the object to create.
I had this working before, by bringing up an InputDialog in my 
CreateCommand, but I really wanted to get this information before then 
and just pass it to the command. But when I call the InputDialog from 
the getCreateCommand(), the dialog just pops up over and over. I realize 
it keeps popping up because every time I move the mouse, this method 
gets called. My question is what is the best way to get information from 
the user before an object is created?

thanks so much!
