[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Direct Edit - Adding and Removing Edit Parts

["Daniel Rozeboom" <Daniel.Rozeboom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

    I've seen a few fragments around for Direct Edit but it seems like a lot 
is still up in the air.  What I'm trying to do is implement a situation 
where I can direct edit a section of text in an edit part, but this direct 
editing should also allow the user to insert other types of edit parts 
(containing images, widgets, whatever) in the text.  I suppose this idea is 
similar to a WYSIWIG editor inside an edit part, but not quite so robust.
    Is this feasible?  If it will mean trying to write a whole new section 
of Draw2D or what have you, I can probably attempt to implement it in a 
pop-up dialog if it saves some trouble.  But I'm just not entirely clear on 
how the text facilities of Draw2D and the capabilities of direct edit will 
fit into the picture here.  Does anyone have some suggestions as to the best 
way this can be accomplished, or can you pinpoint certain features that I 
will have a very difficult time implementing through the current GEF/Draw2D 
facilities?  Thanks in advance.
