Get Relation between Components

[mohammed]

How can I grammatically get the relationship between a component and another component if they are connected together

[Patrick Julian]

What do you mean by "gramatically get"?

[mohammed]

sorry
I mean Programmatic ,using C#
to iterate  the connections between the components

[qwerty]

You need to iterate the connectors and get the elements for the objectId from source/target.

[mohammed]

can u plz give me more details !!
thanx

[qwerty]

Code: [Select]

con = element.Connectors.GetAt (0);
print con.Type;
print con.Direction;
target = repository.GetElementByID (con.ClientID);
print target.Name;

q.

[mohammed]

con = element.Connectors.GetAt (0);  ## it is not correct

because element.Connectors.GetAt (0) retruns object not Connector.

You may need to typecast it:

Code: [Select]

con = (EA.Connector)element.Connectors.GetAt(0);

Tx
I did something like

 Connector C=(Connector )(ie.Current );
but how can I find the source type and the target type  at the connector object ?

[KP]

but how can I find the source type and the target type  at the connector object ?

Open the help file and go to "Automation and Scripting > Enterprise Architect Object Model > Reference > Connector Package > Connector" and in the table there find the attributes that represent "The ElementID of the element at the source end of this connector" and "The ElementID of the element at the target end of this connector". Qwerty has already suggested what to do with these IDs.

Open the help file and go to "Automation and Scripting > Enterprise Architect Object Model > Reference > Connector Package > Connector Class" and then in the Connector Attributes table look for ClientID and SupplierID.

If this does not help you, along with Qwerty's valuable advice, you might need to rethink the task you have set yourself and do some more-basic research on using the API.

tx,
I did all

but I think the help need to be more easy by adding examples.
