Programmatically show element|diagram property dialog

[larswilhelmsen]

Hi,

 I guessed it was an available operation on the Repository interface or on Element|Diagram to pop up the property dialog for the given item.
 
 Is this possible at all with the available API functionality?

Yes, though not documented:

Code: [Select]

xmlres =
          Respository.CustomCommand(
            "CFormCommandHelper", "ProcessCommand",
            "Dlg=" + dlg + ";id=" + id + ";hwnd=" + hwnd);
Depending on dlg the id parameter must be supplied:

dlg id
PKG EaPackage.PackageID
ELM EaElement.ElementID
ATT EaAttribute.AttributeID
OP  EaMethod.MethodID
DGM EaDiagram.DiagramID

(from my Scripting book p. 39)
