Generate documentation - USING VB SCRIPT
« on: April 01, 2015, 11:58:07 pm »
Hi All,

after exploring the document genetor tool, i 've used a VB script to generate my documentation.

According to the model presented by sparx in EA : Local script / Docuemntation Exemple .

I can generate a full document and use any template on any element ( element, connected element ...etc) : That's fine !!

The sript create by itself the RTF document and save it in a local repository (on my hard disk).

But i wonder, how to use the DocumentGenerator Class , in a script that is referenced in the 'custom querry' panel of a template 's option.


I want to create a template (fragment)  that uses in the custom query pannel a Custom Script.
and in that custom script using  the DocumentGenerator Class to generate what i want.

so how to integrate in my custom section (of my template) the document generated by the Custom script ....


I don't know if i'm clear ....sorry for my bad english  :-[

Rather than use Script, have you seen eaDocX? If you have already decided not to use RTF, it should be quicker and easier than Script.

It sounds to me like you are using the scripted generation for the reason it was created. To allow complete customization of the output.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do, but if you contact support we'll make sure to give you the definitive answer.

thanks all for your answer,

yes i've tried to try eadocx, but it seems you need to have a MS office license , and word, to use it. even the trial version. so i gave up.

and yess, i think i would be better to contact support, it seems to difficult to explain in english what i'm tring to do.

thanks all for your help. :P
