EA_MenuClick

EA_MenuClick events are received by an Add-In in response to user selection of a menu option.

The event is raised when the user clicks on a particular menu option. When a user clicks on one of your non-parent menu options, your Add-In receives a MenuClick event, defined as:

     Sub EA_MenuClick(Repository As EA.Repository, ByVal MenuLocation As String, ByVal MenuName As String, ByVal ItemName As String)

This code is an example of use:

     If MenuName = "-&Diagram" And ItemName = "&Properties" then

          MsgBox Repository.GetCurrentDiagram.Name, vbInformation

     Else

          MsgBox "Not Implemented", vbCritical

     End If

Notice that your code can directly access Enterprise Architect data and UI elements using Repository methods.

Syntax
