Import an external image on a EA.diagram

[ALL_IN_ONE]

Hello folks,

I need a solution to add external image on the diagram.
I tried it with some work around, its not a solution but got to know some insights.

EA.DiagramObject boundObj = (EA.DiagramObject)dia.DiagramObjects.AddNew("", "");
boundObj.ElementID = ele.ElementID;
boundObj.Style = "DUID=B9DE8FF2;ImageID=191;";
boundObj.Update();
dia.DiagramObjects.Refresh();


If you notice in the above code snippet, the diagram object style is hard coded because I know the image Id. Those external Image IDs you can see it in Settings-->Images and then unhide the third column which has the Image ID of the external diagrams (Not UML Diagrams).

Hence Does any body know how to embed image on a EA Diagram ?

ALL_IN_ONE,

I don't know the answer to your specific question, but I can tell you how I would try to find out:
- Start with an empty model
- Create the diagram and embedded image through the GUI
- Open the database and inspect what has been added by EA.
- Try to recreate the same result using the API.

If at all possible, running a trace on the database may seriously simplify the "inspect what has been added" part.
