Moving diagram with its functionality.
« on: October 25, 2006, 04:02:42 am »
Hello,

I would like to ask, is it possible to move activity diagram from EA, to your add-in with some of its functionality like for example selecting action. I know that you can have a picture of this diagram from a file, but I cannot do anything with it apart from watching it.

If its not possible, somehow I will have to create the same diagram anew, and here comes me second question. Is there any graphical library class for c# that has UML models used in EA?

Thank you in advance, reagards.

I'm not quite sure what your trying to do here Olo but I dont think it's likely to work.

You can take the model and manipulate it in an external app or add in, but the diagram that appears on your  screen is a real time functionally driven thing delivered by the  EA (proprietry) software. It will, as you say, let you get a "snapshot" of a diagram at a point in time.  However, that is just that - a static image of what would appear on the screen.  

The EA ad in interface has, I'll grant, limited ability to interact with a diagram, but then ... that's where the point of EA itself is.  EA is what you use to manage a model diagramatically.  To do the same thing in another app you need to mange the model, not the diagram.

Thank you for your reply. I want to add some functionality to an EA diagram but since I can't do it in an add-in I guess I will have to, like you said, manage a model, and create new diagram with desired functionality. But to do this I still need some graphic library, do you happen to know some of UML C# graphic library maybe? Regards
