Creating default tags on State property dialogues

[Kim Liddelow]

I want to add some pre-defined tags to the State and State Machine properties dialogue.

I've created a profile with a State and stereotype that extends it. I added 2 tags to the State on the profile. I exported the profile and imported it. It appears as a resource and I can find it in the toolbox. Only the stereotype appears in the toolbox.

I've tried dragging the stereotype from the toolbox onto a normal state chart diagram with a state on it. I've also tried dragging and dropping it onto the state on the diagram. Nothing works.

Can anyone help please.

Try YOURPROF::YOURELEMENT(UML::State) as an entry in the toolbox(stereotype) element that extends the ToolboxPage

Hi Nizam,
thanks for the reply. I'm virtually a beginner in EA. Where in the dialogue for the stereotype do I put the UML::State thing? Can you be really explicit please.

Also what does the UML::State notation mean?

In EA you can use your profiles to design one or more toolboxes, please refer to http://www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/sdk_for_enterprise_architect/custom_toolboxes.html
