How to "find in project browser" Element by GUID
« on: May 21, 2014, 12:47:17 am »
Hi,

I'm trying pointing to elements in EA-Projects using the GUID of that element.
So far I understood, there is no way to place a link or a start-up parameter to ea.exe to show that element right after start!?

But if I try to "find in project browser" the element with the content of "Copy Node GUID to Clipboard" of that element, no element is detected.

Had a look to the "custom searches" I didn't see a way to activate searches for elements by their GUID!?

Any hint are welcome!

Thanks

Ralf

You need to write a custom search like
Code: [Select]
SELECT ea_guid AS CLASSGUID, Name from t_object where '<Search Term>' like ea_guid

Install my EA Navigator add-in. It allows you to select anything in the project browser based on the GUID or the fully qualified name (Node path)

Thanks a lot for your comments :)

I'll give Geert's EA Navigator a try.
