Could you give me a hint, how to create hyperlinks from diagram to diagram with the use of API?


thanks for any help

Hi Jan,

Internally, a hyperlink is a text element with a special property set. [I don't remember which property, and don't have time to look it up. You should be able to find which one by examining a project via API or looking at the data.]

When I last looked into this - back in EA 6.5 days - I did not find an easy way to set the necessary values. The properties seemed to be read-only. I looked at this again when 7.0 was released and the situation had not changed. This doesn't mean you cannot set the properties, just that I did not see how.

I needed a quick solution, so here's what I did. I opened a second channel to the underlying model - whether EAP or DBMS, the concept is the same - and after creating the text element I carefully edited the appropriate database fields. I then refreshed the diagram where I first added the text element.

HTH, David
