Change BPMN 2.0 element Types from C# Addin

[rmartinezb]

Hi,
I'm trying to create BPMN elements, but I'm not able of add the subtype of the element.
I can create the basic elements, for example:

Code: [Select]

EA.Element theElement = elements.AddNew(elementName, "BPMN2.0::Gateway" );But i don't know how to specify that this Gateway is a Parallel Gateway.

I read this document ( http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/business_engineering/change_element_appearance.html ) and I tried to use tagged values for this purpose, but I must be doing something wrong.
Here is a part of my code:

Code: [Select]


                    EA.Element theElement = elements.AddNew(elementList[j][1], "BPMN2.0::" + elementList[j][2]);

                    if (elementList[j][2].Equals("Gateway"))
                    {
                        EA.TaggedValue taggedValue = (EA.TaggedValue)theElement.TaggedValues.AddNew("gatewayType", elementList[j][3]);
                        taggedValue.ElementID = theElement.ElementID;

                        taggedValue.Update();
                        theElement.TaggedValues.Refresh();

                    }(The elementList[j][3] variable contains the string "Parallel", "Exclusive" or "Inclusive")
Below this i do the corresponding Update().

You must not add a new TV. It is already created when assigning the BPMN stereotype. Rather assign the sub-type once the element is created. (This all being said without having tested it.)
