java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.gef.ui.parts.SelectionSynchronizer
- All Implemented Interfaces:
ISelectionChangedListener
A utility for synchronizing the selection of multiple EditPartViewers. This
class performs selection synchronization by taking the selection from one
viewer, and mapping it to the selection in another viewer. The mapping is
performed by matching the models of the selected EditParts from one viewer to
the EditParts with the same models in another. It can be customized by
overriding the
convert(EditPartViewer, EditPart)
method.-
