Creating Diagrams using EA API in C# or Java

[hshahid]

Hi Everyone,

Is there any way that I can create diagrams by using EA-API, in C# or Java, and can view my changes in the running instance of EA on the runtime. For now, I am able to connect to a .eap file, when my EA project is closed, I want that I can access my project on runtime.

If there are any sample codes or any generic module which you can share for creating sample diagrams by having EA instance running. Please let me share.

best regards,
Hamid.

You can indeed connect to the running instance (the first one started).
I use this code (C#):

Code: [Select]

           //connect to the currently running instance
            //if multiple instances are running it will connect to the instance that was first started.
            object obj = Marshal.GetActiveObject("EA.App");
            EA.App eaApp = obj as EA.App;
            wrappedModel = eaApp.Repository;
