Detect if parameter is a primitive Type

[Andreas_G]

Hi all,

did anybody know if there is a possibity to detect, if a parameter is a primitive datatype defined in the Data Types Dialog?

Detect from where?

[Andreas_G]

Oh Sorry.  

I need this information inside the code templates.

Since there is no answer till now, I think there is no easy way to detect inside the code templates if a type is a primitive one.

So I decided to solve it with EXEC_ADD_IN and a little VB-AddIn.

with the following code

Code: [Select]

Function IsPrimitiveType(Repository As EA.Repository, Args As Variant) As String
Dim Result As String
Dim Arg As String
Dim MyType As Datatype

Result = "false"

Arg = Args(LBound(Args))
 
For Each MyType In Repository.Datatypes
 If MyType.Type = "Code" And MyType.Product = "C++"  Then
  If MyType.Name = Arg Or MyType.GenericType = Arg Then
   Result = "true"
  End If
 End If
Next
IsPrimitiveType = Result
End Function

It works fine, but it's a little bit slow. I hope there is an easier solution in  the future.

You could post a support request directly to Sparx (using their web link).

good idea!
