Addins problems

[lubos]

Hello,
I try to create some addin and I have met the following problems I couldn't overcome:

1)event EA_OnPostNewAttribute is not called for atributes (<<column>>s) of <<table>> class.

2)this event has input parameter Attribute.AttributeID,
but there is only Repository.GetAttributeByGuid method to lookup attributes.
But AttributeID is not the same as AttributeGUID.
How can I look up the attribute being created?

Thank you for any hint

You'll probably need to traverse the Attributes collection of the owning table (or element of whatever kind), searching for the attribute. This could be a bit of a pain.

Perhaps you could make a feature request to Sparx on this.

I suppose you answered ad 2)
But this event has only Repository and AttributeID parameters,
so that I have no Element whose attributes I can inspect ...

Ouch, and ouch again!

Thanks for taking this to Sparx. This is one that's going to start causing me real grief in the next couple of months. Let's hope that Sparx can solve it in time for EA 7.1.
