How do I get an element from the diagram

[marine1981]

Hello,
How do I get an element from the diagram?
My first Idea:

Code: [Select]

for ( var j = 0; j < diagrams.Count; j++ )
{
  currentDiagram = diagrams.GetAt( j );
  if (currentDiagram.Type == "Activity")
  {
   //Count Elements in the Diagram!
   Session.Output(currentDiagram.DiagramObjects.Count);
   for( var k = 0; k < currentDiagram.DiagramObjects.Count; k++ )
   {
   //Question: How do I get an element from the diagram?
      
   }
}


Thanks


Sven

Each diagram object has an element_id which can be retrieved from the repository via getElementById

It does not work with the element ID. I don't know the elementID because I have got some elements in the diagram. I know only the elementtype. One element in the diagram is a Requirement or later a activity.

If you want to know anything (except for maybe color and position) about an element on a diagram you'll have to get that element first.
So that would become something like:

Code: [Select]

for ( var j = 0; j < diagrams.Count; j++ )
{
 currentDiagram = diagrams.GetAt( j );
 if (currentDiagram.Type == "Activity")
 {
  //Count Elements in the Diagram!
  Session.Output(currentDiagram.DiagramObjects.Count);
  for( var k = 0; k < currentDiagram.DiagramObjects.Count; k++ )
  {
  EA.DiagramObject myDiagramObject = (EA.DiagramObject) currentDiagramObject.getAt(k);
  EA.Element myElement = myRepository.getElementByID(myDiagramObject.ElementID);
  if (myElement.Type == "Requirement")
   { //Now you do something...}
      
  }
}

PS. Looping an EA.Collection with a foreach iso a for is often a lot easier on the eye.

Thanks Geert. Now, I develop a Script with JScript. It is a validation script.
