How to Find Which Diagrams Are Open

[Brian Wilkinson]

Is there a way of find which diagrams are open in the broswer window.

I don't seem to be able to find a property on a diagram that says if it open in the browswer or a collection of which diagrams are currently open.

Can any one help out?

Good question Brian,

Without proof - I don't generally program against running instances of EA so I have not had to try this (yet) - I suspect you need to check the list of open 'tabs' for your diagram.

There might be some catches to this. In no particular order:

/
• This might not be the correct approach at all...
• There does not seem to be any documented standard for tab names; you'd have to come up with something yourself, including some means of handling duplicate (unqualified) diagram names.
• There are tabs in various places in EA; the documentation does not say how these are distinguished (or whether they are at all).

The things I am talking about are all Repository methods. Take a look at ActivateDiagram [just for a reference to the "tab" idea], ActivateTab, ClearOutput, CreateOutputTab, EnsureOutputVisible, IsTabOpen, OpenDiagram [for another reference to the "tab" attribute], RemoveOutputTab, SaveDiagram [which also references the "tab" of a diagram window], and WriteOutput [once again with a reference to "tab"].

Just to make the earlier point really clear, the above is a guess, and should be treated as such. Test everything...
