How to jump back to the last ("parent") diagram?

[pstein]

Assume I am viewing currently a certain Activity (or other diagram) "aaa"
in tab number 5

Then I double click on an activity inside which let me jump to a "child" activity "sub-aaa" diagram in another tab number 28.

Then after having done something I decide to go back to the "parent" diagram.

How can I achieve this without having to search through all open tabs?
I need a function key or menu or toolbar icon which let me go just one tab backwards in the call hierarchy (=Not an undo !).

Is there something like that in EA?

Peter,

Alt+left/right arrow will open the tab to the left or the right.
It's will not open the previous diagram, but it might already be of some help.

Integrated navigation through tab history and tab reordering are currently under development. I would expect both features to be in the next major build of EA.

If you log a feature request through to Sparx Support we can put your name against the change so that you're notified when it ships.

Peter, If I understand you correctly, you are more interested in navigating up the diagram drill-down path regardless of what tabs are open or what tab you were just on.  I wrote the following method as part of an add-in that I use to do this.  There is additional logic to building the add-in but this is the key to the works.

public void DrillUp(EA.Repository repository, EA.Diagram diagram)
        {
            if (diagram.ParentID != 0)
            {
                string objectXML = repository.SQLQuery(string.Format("SELECT Diagram_ID FROM t_diagramobjects WHERE Object_ID = {0}", diagram.ParentID.ToString()));
                XmlDocument objectXMLDocument = new XmlDocument();
                objectXMLDocument.LoadXml(objectXML);
                if (objectXMLDocument.SelectNodes("//Dataset_0/Data/Row/Diagram_ID").Count > 0)
                {
                    string diagramID = objectXMLDocument.SelectSingleNode("//Dataset_0/Data/Row/Diagram_ID").InnerText;
                    repository.OpenDiagram(int.Parse(diagramID));
                }
            }
        }

If this seems to be along the lines of what you are looking for, I'd be happy to share a more packaged version of it.
