Run script from add-in

[janos_murai]

Dear all,

I have a C# add-in and a VBScript. Is it possible to include and start the script from the add-in?
I know that with the

Code: [Select]

!INC Local directive I can include scripts into each other, but how does it work with external sources?

Thank you!

Hi,

Not a direct answer to your question but have a look at Geerts site - there are details here (plus an add-id) about how to run scripts from add-ins etc...

Thanks Jon,

It's actually the (free and open source) EA-Matic add-in that executes scripts.
You can find the code for it here: https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Toolpack/tree/master/EAScriptAddin

If you consider using my framework you better also read this: How to Use the Enterprise Architect Add-in Framework

I have a new problem, which is relevant to the original topic.

I could create an add-in using the Enterprise Architect Add-in Framework. The script calling works the same way as in EA-matic.
The problem is with the EA object. If I create a new variable in the script like

Code: [Select]

dim selectedPackage as EA.Package and I run it from EA, it runs without error, but if I run the same script via my add-in (so the interpreter is called by the add-in), it throws the following error:
"Anweisungsende erwartet ERROR : Anweisungsende erwartet | Line of error: 398 | Code error: \tdim selectedPackage as EA.Package"
I tried it with EA-matic's source in debug mode, and I experienced the same behavior.
Any idea what could cause this problem?

Thank you!

Hi Janos,

You can't use "as EA.Package" or any "as..." in EA-Matic scripts

These are EA specific extensions that are nor recognized by the native script controller.

I was planning one day to strip all of those from the scripts before adding them to the script engine, but I haven't found the time yet.
I'm sure EA strips these as well in the background.
