The position of an element will be not updated

[robmir]

Hey,

I want to get the position of an element:

Code: [Select]


EA.Diagram diag;
EA.DiagramObject diagObj;
Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle();

diag = gEARepository.GetCurrentDiagram();
diagObj = (diag.SelectedObjects.GetAt(0)) as EA.DiagramObject;
rectangle.X = diagObj.left;
rectangle.Y = diagObj.top;


If I move an element to other position, diagObj will be not updated. I mean that I get always the same values, why?

Did you call Update() on the DiagramObject? Did you reload the diagram?

Obvious questions I know, but I managed to waste a few hours because I did neither.

PS: Note that you need to move the DiagramObject, not the Element. The element itself is independent of the diagram.

Diagram operations are not saved to the DB. You need to call "save changes" (manually or via the COM method which name slipped my mind).

Save? Nothing easier than that:

Code: [Select]


C#:
gEARepository.SaveDiagram(diag.DiagramID);

Java:
gEARepository.SaveDiagram(diag.GetDiagramID());
