Programatically create User Interface Diagram in EA

[Martino]

Hi guys,

I´ve got a problem to code addition of a User Interface Diagram in my EA add-in. I know its type is "Custom" and metatype is "User Interface", but metatype attribute is read only. Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi Martino,

what do you mean with "code addition"? Adding a diagram to your model from an add-in?

You do that by just adding the right stereotype from your MDG. That's it. The metatype is then created from what your MDG has placed there.

yes, I need to add a user interface diagram to my model from add-in using EA API or UMLToolingFramework. Well, I am a novice in this area and I do not really understand what MDG is.

The user interface diagram is one of the "standard" EA extended diagram types.
The type of diagram is defined by the second parameter in Diagrams.AddNew() You'll have to pass something like "EAExtended::User Interface" as the second parameter, but I don't know by heart the exact name of the type to add.
I'm pretty sure similar questions have been asked in the forum, so searching might provide an answer.

thanks for help, it works perfect with the diagram type "Extended::User Interface".
