Eclipse GEF
3.3

org.eclipse.gef.editpolicies
Class ComponentEditPolicy

java.lang.Object
  extended by

org.eclipse.gef.editpolicies.AbstractEditPolicy
      extended by
org.eclipse.gef.editpolicies.ComponentEditPolicy
All Implemented Interfaces:
EditPolicy, RequestConstants
Direct Known Subclasses:
RootComponentEditPolicy

public abstract class ComponentEditPolicy
extends AbstractEditPolicy

A model-based EditPolicy for components within a container. A model-based EditPolicy only knows about the host's model and the basic operations it supports. A component is anything that is inside a container. By default, ComponentEditPolicy understands being DELETEd from its container, and being ORPHANed from its container. Subclasses can add support to handle additional behavior specific to the model.

ORPHAN is forwarded to the parent EditPart for it to handle.

DELETE is also forwarded to the parent EditPart, but subclasses may also contribute to the delete by overriding createDeleteCommand(GroupRequest).

This EditPolicy is not a GraphicalEditPolicy, and should not be used to show feedback or interact with the host's visuals in any way.

This EditPolicy should not be used with ConnectionEditPart. Connections do not really have a parent; use ConnectionEditPolicy.

Since:
2.0
