Determine 'IsReturn' on a sequence connector?

[Chris Tatem]

I am attempting to create sequence diagrams through the automation API.  I am "stringing" together several existing diagrams into one long diagram.  I have *most* of it working, but how can I tell if an existing connector (of type Sequence) has been "flagged" as IsReturn?  And then, how could I set that on a new Connector?  I can set that through the client here:
"Is Return checkbox in the Control Flow Type panel"

...I've tried subtype, EventFlafs, subtype and don't see it.

thanks

try Connector.MiscData(3) (PDATA4)
  1 = isReturn

SubType appears to follow Lifecycle

Thanks Jim, this correlates with the models that I'm reading!

For your information, you can get (and maybe update) the value by:

Connector.Properties.Item("IsReturn")

Hope this helps,

Excellent, thanks.......

I like that better.

I liked the promise of this, but tried it and at least in the following (java) code snippet, didn't seem to work - unless I'm doing something wrong.

Code: [Select]

for (org.sparx.Property p : thisConnector.GetProperties()) {
      System.out.println("Property " + p.GetName() + "=" + p.GetValue() );
}
System.out.println("Misc " + thisConnector.MiscData(3));
org.sparx.Property isR = (thisConnector.GetProperties()).Item("IsReturn");
System.out.print("R" + isR.GetValue() + "?");

produces (for these two example connectors).  The IsReturn property is always null.  The second connector has isReturn selected on the diagram.

Property Name=getCustPayCard()
Property Type=Sequence
Property Kind=Call
Property IsReturn=null
Property IsAsync=null
Misc 0
Rnull?

Property Name=
Property Type=Sequence
Property Kind=Call
Property IsReturn=null
Property IsAsync=null
Misc 1
Rnull?

What about the SubType attribute?

If that does not help, check the ConnectorEnd objects. [But I really don't think that's the problem.]
