get the pictogram element of a created bo

[Simone Di Cola]

Hi Joerg,

  how do I get the pictogram element linked to a created bo?

This code seems to work:

  Guard deployedGuard = (Guard) super.create(context)[_FIRST];

  PictogramElement pe =  Graphiti.getLinkService().getPictogramElements(getDiagram(), deployedGuard)) 

but, as written in the documentation, it returns  all pictogram elements which references the given business object, not the one just created. 

Any idea?

Thanks

Simone

As you can see here:

ID CREATED BO:uk.man.xman.xcore.impl.GuardImpl@1c0bc9 (fullName: null, showedName: null)

ID CREATED BO:uk.man.xman.xcore.impl.GuardImpl@2e7166 (fullName: null, showedName: null)

I've created two bo, that have two different Ids. So, how is it possible that the mothod  Graphiti.getLinkService().getPictogramElements(getDiagram(), deployedGuard))  returns the pictogram elements belonging to both of them?

So best solution would be to give a new created business object an initial name in the create feature (e.g. name and if there's already an element with name 'name' use a counter 'name1' to make it unique). Afterwards you can bring up an dialog to the user to enter the real name.
