Some questions about addins

[romu]

Hi all,
I've a couple of questions regarding the addin I'm creating:
- is there a way to record in the eap file some addin specific properties? the use is:

• The user opens my addin GUI
• Then sets some parameters
• These parameters are recorded into the eap file and may not be changed

- is there a way to launch the XMI export from within an addin?

Thanks for the help.

There are a few options to store your information in the eap file.
You could add your own table, but I don't recommend that.
In stead your could abuse the notes of the root node to store your parameters.
The advantage is that this property cannot be viewed or edited by the user, and you don't have to change the standard database schema.

For XMI export look at Project Interface.ExportPackageXMI  or ExportPackageXMIEx

Thanks a lot.
I didn't try yet the XMI export, but the Notes trick works pretty well.

Hi,
Exporting the XMI works well too, but is there a way to not display the XMI export dialog ?
