Code Generation/ Reverse Engineering Delphi

[Graham_Wade]

Hi
  I'm evaluating EA and have reverse engineered an existing project in Delphi. I can see all of the attributes and operations but apart from that no code. Has it been lost or is it stored somewhere. Similarly I tried to forward engineering from the classes and although I can get the operation declarations I can't seem to find a way to enter the code for the operation in way that gets into the generated code file.

 Is what I'm trying possible? and if it is how do I do it?

Try the Code Window (Alt+F7) from the Views menu.

Hi
  Sorry about the last post  . I think you are misunderstanding what I was trying to do. In my model I would like to insert the code that the operation is to perform. I would then expect the code generation to insert this code inside the operation body in the generated file (which I could view using the code viewer). Currently I cannot find anyway of getting anything other that the operation signature into the class implementation body.

Hi,

Essentially EA doesn't actually bring in a copy of the operation bodies when importing code.  In the following thread I suggested a workaround for this purpose to another user.

That should work okay for code generation once you've entered the operation bodies in, but there isn't really anything you can do for reverse engineering of code.
