startConnecting

public void startConnecting()

Description copied from interface: ICreateConnection

Will called after a connection creation tool from the palette was selected.
Note: In contrast to the standard feature methods like ICreateConnection.canCreate(ICreateConnectionContext) and ICreateConnection.create(ICreateConnectionContext) this method will not be called in the scope of an EMF transaction. In case you want to modify the model (EMF domain objects or Graphiti pictogram objects) you need to do that within a command executed on the editor's command stack to make sure that the modification happens inside an EMF write transaction. Keep in mind that any changes you do within such a command will be create a seperate entry in the undo/redo stack for the editor, which might not be the desired effect.

Specified by:

startConnecting in interface ICreateConnection

Since:

0.9

endConnecting
