Question

Which subclasses of IlvManagerViewInteractor can be set to a network?

Answer

If you encapsulate an IlvManagerViewInteractor in an IlpViewsViewInteractor, you can theoretically add any instance of a subclass of IlvManagerViewInteractor to a network. 
The way to add this type of interactor to a network is the following:

   IlvManagerViewInteractor interactor = new IlvManagerViewInteractor();
   IlpViewsViewInteractor viewsInteractor = new IlpViewsViewInteractor(interactor);
   network.setViewInteractor(viewsInteractor);

In fact, it does not always make sense to add a JViews view interactor to an ILOG JTGO network. 
Here is the list of IlvManagerViewInteractor subclasses and the result of their setting to a network:

  • IlvDragRectangleInteractor, IltEditLabelInteractor, IlvPanInteractor 
    These interactors work fine in a network.

  • IltManagerMagViewInteractor, IltPanZoomedViewInteractor 
    These interactors are predefined interactors in the toolbar.IltManagerMagViewInteractor has been deprecated and should be replaced withIlvManagerMagViewInteractor.

  • IltEditLinkPortInteractor 
    This interactor works only if the link layout has been set to be anIltShortLinkLayout, otherwise the link ports that you edited will not be used when you create a link later on.

  • IltMakeLinkInteractor 
    The type of link being created depends on the network handler that is used. The default link uses an IlpDefaultObject which is rendered through an IltLink with an SDM look.

  • IltMoveInteractor 
    This interactor works fine, but you should use the class IltSelectInteractor instead because it has more features.

  • IlvMakePolyPointsInteractor 
    This interactor inserts the polypoints in a layer which is already used by ILOG JTGO. To avoid the conflict between ILOG JTGO and JViews objects, you have to reserve an extra IlvManagerLayer and set it to be the default insertion layer. Another solution would be to subclass the interactor to create the objects in a layer which is not already used by ILOG JTGO.

  • IlvRotateInteractor 
    This interactor does not work on ILOG JTGO objects because the selection object is not a subclass of IlvHandlesSelection.

  • IlvConnectInteractor, IlvMakeSDMNodeInteractor, IlvMoveRectangleInteractor 
    These interactors are not adapted to a network.
