Element appearance + selectable

[RainerQ]

Hi,

I would like to modify the Font (Appearance->SetFont) of a boundary element and I also would like to set this boundary to "not selectable".

How can this be done?
Note : I already have the element instance in my code available.

Regards
Rainer

HI Rainer,

to get non-selectability, you need to add/merge

Code: [Select]

NSL=1; to the object.Style attribute.

HTH.

Hi Paolo,

thanks, NSL=1; works nicely. Now I only need to know how to set the Font.

Rainer,

I don't know how to set the font, but here's how I would try to figure out.
- Create a new empty model
- Create and element with standard font setting and an element with adjusted font.
- Open the database and figure out what the difference is between the two elements. In this case I would specifically look at t_object and t_diagramobject. The font will probably be hidden somewhere in the style columns.

If this doesn't work, a database trace can also help as it shows wich SQL statements are being executed by EA when you change the font.

Hi Geert,

thanks for your suggestions. I also thought about this way, but was still hoping for a easier solution ;-)

I guess I will walk on this path when I am done with my other tasks and have not received a easier solution ...

Correct. Specifically, t_diagramobjects.ObjectStyle and t_object.Fontcolor

Geert, KP,

I walked this path and it now works fine.

Thanks for your help!
