Suppress/Show Specific Features - in DB
« on: October 09, 2010, 07:24:24 pm »
Hi,

Anyone know where the details of the: Suppress or Show Specific Features functionality is held in the DB?
I would have expected in the t_diagramobjects table, but the only thing that seems to be held there is the state of the [ ] Show checkbox in the <context menu>|Feature Visibility... [Ctrl+Shift+Y] dialog.

I want to put int a feature request to extend this functionality to the the inherited features - but, more especially, to the other compartments - for example, suppress specific (internal) tagged values.  But before I submit the feature request I'd like to understand how the current functionality is persisted to the DB.

TIA,
Paolo

Paolo,

You're not going to like it (I know I don't), but it is stored in the StyleEx column of t_diagram.
Something like 'SPL=S_2FB36F=755ED6,5F1B22,B0DD12,475FA7,6A3B7C:S_BFA42D=1F1928,B83F5C,E8C00A:;' I haven't figured out exactly what it means, but the values like 5F1B22 are in fact the first part of the t_attribute.ea_guid.
