InvokeConstructPicker only works for Elements

[Geert Bellekens]

I finally got around to use the new InvokeConstructPicker operation to select some items for my document generator add-in.

This works fine when selecting elements, and it looks like it works find for Attributes and Operations as well, but sadly the resulting ElementID is always 0.
So although I get the dialog, and the user can select either an operation or an attribute, I have no way of knowing which attribute or operation was selected

May I suggest to change the returntype into the guid? Or may even a list of GUID's to allow for multiple select?

Thanks

I know it is an old topic but nevertheless still relevant.
Please make our scripting life a lot easier by providing a full-grown InvokeConstructPicker capable of:

• detecting Cancel vs. selection of <none>
• returning results for all types which could be configured with IncludedTypes=
• removing the 6 item selection limit

Currently I'm considering to write a replacement from the scratch because of the current limitations - what a shame

Hi Michael,

If you want Sparx to consider this, you'll have to send in a Feature Request: https://sparxsystems.com/support/forms/feature_request.html

Ok, I was under the impression that this request already has been made several times by the people posting here.
But I'll also write a request. Don't know if it helps as I never got any reaction to it

We only know for sure that not sending a feature request doesn't help

In the last decade or so I did see some of my feature requests implemented though.
