GetObject() Support |
The App object is creatable and a handle can be obtained by creating one. In addition, clients can use the equivalent of Visual Basic's GetObject() to obtain a reference to a currently running instance of Enterprise Architect. Use this method to more quickly test changes to Add-Ins and external clients, as the Enterprise Architect application and data files do not have to be constantly re-loaded. For example: Dim App as EA.App Set App = GetObject(,"EA.App") MsgBox App.Repository.Models.Count
Another example, which uses the App object without saving it to a variable: Dim Rep as EA.Repository Set Rep = GetObject(, "EA.App").Repository MsgBox Rep.ConnectionString |
