User Interfaces Diagram:: code generation

[mbordin]

Hello is there a feature of EA that generate some prototype from the "User Interface Diagram"?

Thanks

I think Screen Architect can do this.

If I understand ScreenArchitect  it did not use the "EA user interface diagram" but a custom diagram.
With ScreenArchitect we can reuse classifier or other model elements but not the EA user interface diagram elements.
It is correct?

Thanks

Hi'yas

What code artifacts would you like to generate from your User Interface Diagrams?

From what I remember of ScreenArti... you use a SA Diagram (based on EA's UID) and SA parts; honestly can't remember why you'd use SA at all.

User Interface Diagrams are composite object diagrams - currently EA provides no code generation from object diagrams.

Seriously why you would use a modelling tool to design an interface rather escapes me... Visual Studio express editions provide excellant User Interface layout tooling; (Expression Blend extends this to interaction flow between multiple forms) ...must be the same for Java.

Remember, once we had no code generation from Activity Diagrams (another version of an Object Diagram) or State Charts.
