Author Topic: API to select item form the diagram (Read 4875 times)

ALL_IN_ONE · « **on:** September 03, 2009, 05:14:08 pm »

hello folks,

Is there any way to right click on the diagram to recognize the objects or items. For example we have the GetTreeSelectedItem API but it works fine if a user clicks on the project browser, thus what if a user selects an diagram object on the diagram . . . but I see in the manual there is no API as such? . . .

Hi coder,

Take a look at the Context Item events in the EA AddIn SDK:

I don't think mister all_in_one meant the events, but rather how to access the selected object, even when selected in a diagram.
The operation to do so is Repository.getContextItem()
Be careful though, there was a bug that made this operation behave incorrectly. I think it was fixed in 7.5.847 or 7.5.848.
