[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: Creating Dynamic Entry of Objects In Palett

["Randy Hudson" <none@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This question sounds familiar...

Yes, this is quite possible and the palette model contains notification for 
this purpose.  You can do either of the following:

1) PaletteEntry#setVisible(false)
2) PaletteContainer.remove(childEntry)

The rules for when to call these methods would be specific to your 
application.  Also, you might want to use a unique instance of the palette 
model for each editor.  That way the state of one editor would not affect 
the palette display of another.
