Element Feature Link via Automation?

[dmf]

Is it possible to determine via automation which element feature a link is to?

Look into the StyleEx property of a Connector.
In my example it contains:

Code: [Select]

LFEP={2C373E8B-7BB4-4de0-840B-891C5D9B3F5A}R;The GUID is the guid of an attribute.

I think there was already a forum topic about this with some interesting input from one of the Sparxians.

Geert,

Thanks for your quick response!  Works a treat.

Geert was referring to this post: http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1251095150/2#2

Thanks, I subsequently found that one.

Not wanting to generate a duplicate item, I had done some searching before the post, but apparently not thoroughly enough :-(

I'm sure this has been requested before, but it would reduce the number of spurious requests if Sparx Systems was to publish an all-care but no-responsibility list of these 'undocumented automation features'.

Hi,

I have followed the above solution but it is not quite working. The Link to Element Feature is now checked but it is not showing the attributes that are linked. Furthermore, Feature Type and Feature are not filled in when viewing the relationship via the EA GUI. Any suggestions re what I am missing?

Details:
Visual Studio 2008 / C#
Enterprise Architect Version 7.5.848
Interopt.EA v2.0.50727

Code:
EA.Connector con;

con = (EA.Connector)sourceClassElement.Connectors.AddNew("test link", "Association");
con.SupplierID = destClassElement.ElementID;
                                    
string sourceGUID = sourceAttribute.AttributeGUID.ToString();
string destGUID = destAttribute.AttributeGUID.ToString();
con.StyleEx = "LFEP=" + sourceGUID + "L;" + "LFSP=" + destGUID + "R;";
con.Update();

Thanks in advance
