General Usage |
Enterprise Architect enables Extensions to integrate with the Model Search. Searches can be defined that execute a method within your Add-In and display your results in an integrated way. The method that runs the search must be structured in the following way:
Function <method name> (ByVal Rep As Repository, ByVal SearchText As String, ByRef XMLResults As String) As Variant
|
|
||||||||||||||||
Return Value |
The method must return any non-empty value for the results to be displayed.

Advanced Usage |
In addition to the displayed results, two additional hidden fields can be passed into the XML that provide special functionality. CLASSTYPE Returning a field of CLASSTYPE, containing the Object_Type value from the t_object table, displays the appropriate icon in the column you place the field.
CLASSGUID Returning a field of CLASSGUID, containing an ea_guid value, enables the Model Search to track the object in the Project Browser and open the Properties window for the element by double-clicking in the Model Search.
