Hi all,
I 'm developing a WYSIWYG plugin for Eclipse, a simple GUI designer as VE but with few components and I'm using EMF and GEF to do it following also some issues from the redbook. My problem is about drawing MenuItem because I can't see them as I would. I mean, since I use Figure as components, I preserve relationships between them father-child etc. A MenuItem is a child of a Menu that is a child of MenuBar, that is a child of Diagram, the root Figure where I display all components ( the JFrame! ) The father-figures have XYLayoutEditPolicy. My problem is that if I attach a MenuItem to a Menu I can't see it because it is drawn outside Menu bounds as you can see in this screenshot
1- Some Menu in the menubar without menuitems

2 - Some MenuItems attached to the first Menu

I tried to attach directly MenuItems to the root figure Diagram but I don't have anymore any relationships between Menu and MenuItems and this is a problem because I can't modify them, and other stuff useful as undo redo etc
This happends because Menubar has a fixed dimension, in fact if I enlarge Menubar I can see components, but this is not possible because is awful!
Do you know how can I solve it?I mean can I preserve relationships Menu-MenuItem and show them outside Menu bounds (under the Menu)?
Thank you
