Edit 'Feature visibility' using API

[piotrek84]

Hi All,
Is there any way of changing feature visibility (e.g. show taggs on diagram by default) using API? I can't seem to find a property allowing this...
Also, is there a 'GetAppearance' method for Elements somwhere?

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Peter,

These settings are hidden somewhere in the "magic string" fields of EA.
I used this code to set the "show parameter details" to "name only"

Code: [Select]

           EA.Diagram diagram = ((EADiagram)aDiagram.getWrappedDiagram()).getWrappedDiagram() as EA.Diagram;
            string style = diagram.ExtendedStyle;
            //the ExtendedStyle is a magic string that contains (amongst others) OpParams=<number>.
            //OpParams=3 will display only the name of the parameters in messages in sequence diagrams
            int begin = style.IndexOf("OpParams=");
            if (begin >= 0)
            {
                string searchString = style.Substring(begin, 10);
                diagram.ExtendedStyle = style.Replace(searchString, "OpParams=3");
                diagram.Update();
                Logger.log("Diagram " + diagram.Name + " updated");
            }
