get classifierGUID of swimlane.

[pgoes]

Hi all,

i'm try-ing to get the classifierGUID of an element related to a swimlane, but the API always returns 'Undifined' Can one of you tell me what goes wrong or is this a bug in EA.

Script:

   var currentDiagram as EA.Diagram;
   currentDiagram = Repository.GetCurrentDiagram();

   if ( currentDiagram != null )
   {
      //##################### do diagram things

         if (currentDiagram.SwimlaneDef != null)
         {
            Session.Output("Simlane def is not null");

         }
         
         Session.Output("Number of swimlanes = " +  currentDiagram.SwimlaneDef.Swimlanes.count);
         for (i = 0; i < currentDiagram.SwimlaneDef.Swimlanes.count; i++)
         {
            CurrentSwimelane = currentDiagram.SwimlaneDef.Swimlanes.Items(i);
            Session.Output("Properties Swimlane " + i);
            Session.Output("--------------------------");
            Session.Output("Name : " + CurrentSwimelane.Title);
            Session.Output("Classified GUID : " + CurrentSwimelane.ClassifiedGUID); // this returns always Undefined.
            ClassifierObject = Repository.GetElementByGuid(CurrentSwimelane.ClassifiedGUID);
            if (ClassifierObject != null)
            {
               Session.Output( "Name of Classifier :" + ClassifierObject.Name);
            }
            else
            {
               Session.Output( "classifier object not defined. :");               
            }
            Session.Output("Width : " + CurrentSwimelane.Width);
            Session.Output("" );
            
         }
      }
   }

Thanks in advance,

peter.

ClassifiedGUID seems like a typo to me in the help file.
When trying in C# the intellisense indicates the name is ClassifierGUID.

Thanks Geert,

in scripting inside EA there is no intellicense available and the documentation on the site of EA contains an mentions clasifiedGUID.

http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/10/automation_and_scripting/swimlane.html

now it works correct.

There is some kind of intellisense, but then you have to declare your variable as a certain type
Similar to

Code: [Select]

var currentDiagram as EA.Diagram;you have to define the variable CurrentSwimelane

Code: [Select]

var CurrentSwimelane as EA.SwimLane;Only then the code editor knows what type of variable you are using and it will show the appropriate features.
