Highlight only appropriate objects on mouse over depending on what action is selected on the palette
Last modified: 2011-06-03 14:37:44 UTC
DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Depending on what action is selected on the modeling palette, appropriate objects in the modeling space should be highlighted on mouseover. Here's a list: In the modeling palette, click 'Select'. When dragging the mouse over the modeling space, any object that could be selected should be highlighted on mouseover. Currently only the driver line is highlighted. Click 'Connection'. Driver Sets and Applications should be highlighted on mouseover, other objects shouldn't (Currently only the driver line is highlighted and it shouldn't be). Click 'Identity Vault'. Groups should be highlighted on mouseover (Currently groups are correctly highlighted and driver lines are incorrectly highlighted). Click 'Driver Set'. Identity Vaults should be highlighted on mouseover (Currently groups and driver lines are incorrectly highlighted). Click 'Group'. Groups should be highlighted on mouseover (Currently groups are correctly highlighted and driver lines are incorrectly highlighted). Click on any application. Groups should be highlighted on mouseover (Currently groups are correctly highlighted and driver lines are incorrectly highlighted).

I took this to the next step, the closest IdentityVaults and DriverSet are highlighted when you drag Apps. I'm not planning on doing any special with highlights with Connection or Selection (because we're not really dragging anything yet and this isn't Eclipse standard, though it's not a bad idea).

This is better now, but it seems inconsistent in how it has been implemented. In some cases (like Connections), the mouse cursor has a visual indication of when it is in a good location, in other cases (like Driver Sets) there is no mouse cursor indication, but the places where it can be dropped are highlighted when moused over. Connection lines still are highlighted when moused over no matter what action is selected from the palette. Other items are not hightlighted when moused over when the 'Select' action is selected.
Fix is checked in.
I made this more consistent by not highlighting lines when you are dragging new objects over the Modeler. Hopefully, this is good enough now.
Much better and good enough.
Adding built keyword.
