Word Macro reverse engineering

[declark]

Hi

I would like to use EA to document a fairly large word macro which we use.
I have reversed engineered the macro and i now have a class strero typed as a word macro, with all the macro's functions in it.
I would now like to produce a activity digram for each of the functions to show how each function works but i cant see how you associate the diagram with the function.
Does anyone know who to do this?


Thanks

Dave

I don't think you can reverse VBA, at least not into sequence or activity diagrams.

This might have changed for version 7.0. I suggest you consult the release notes if you have access to the beta.

David,

I believe Dave's question is about associating diagrams with the Class methods.  He's already RE'd the macro (as I have also done).

Dave,

No, you can't really attach a diagram to a method as methods are not first class citizens of EA's world.  You can create a diagram and "nest" it below the appropriate method in the browser, but this is only a notional nesting - there's no real internal link to select the method and trigger the diagram (such as with EA Elements).

It's my view that methods and attributes are also first-class elements - they just have to have parents.

HTH,
Paolo
