Request: Updating source while in sequence diagram
« on: September 06, 2006, 06:14:22 am »
Hello Sparx-people,

when I am investigating a sequence diagram, there is a wonderful feature: click onto the classes at the top of the sequence graphics and you will get the associated source loaded into the source panel.  But when I click onto a message, that is being exchanged between two objects, the source panel is being cleared, showing no source. When I click onto one of the classes again, the source of the class is reloaded.

My suggestion: If I select the message being sent between two objects, please update the source panel and jump ( if a appropriate message exists inside the receivers class) directly to the method header associated with the message.

(I think this should be no expensive feature, since you can click onto message names in the source panel and the source panel jumps to the message header. And you also can select method names of called objects in sequence diagrams, which means the sequence diagram is able to parse method names.)

Thanks in advance
Regards
Bernd
