EA 7.1 RichText Editor

[Ondrej Kolenaty]

I would like to make Add-in that will "paste" a name of selected model element and will be able to update the name on request. I noticed that the richtext is stored as a simple HTML. Is there any possibility how use/extend features of the richtext edit used in EA 7.1?

The control itself isn't available, but the automation interface does provide two functions for doing the conversion for you.

See http://www.sparxsystems.com/EAUserGuide71/index.html?repository3.htm for a description of GetFieldFromFormat and GetFormatFromField.

Basically if you have an editor that produces rtf or html output you can convert that to a format suitable to be saved in an EA notes field using Repository.GetFieldFromFormat().

I hope that helps.
