how to get the element connected to a UseCase in a Diagram

[andrev]

Started to build a Script in Jscript to get all objects from a diagram, but i have no guarantee that the object is connected to the useCase.
How to get all objects connected to a usecase?

Retrieve the element from the ElementID (using Repository.GetElementByID) and look up the element's Connectors collection.

u can show a simple code, to undertand this

I don't speak JScript. Look into the example scripts provided by Sparx to get an idea how to achieve that.

Andrev,

You will have to show some more effort from your side then only send me teh codez

For your information I have a open source library with hundreds of VBScripts on github: https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library
and an even bigger library of C# code dealing with EA
- https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Toolpack
- https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Add-in-Framework
- https://github.com/GeertBellekens/UML-Tooling-Framework

This is full with examples on how to use the EA API, but you will have to do the search and translate work yourself.

Sorry geert, idk how to get the connector informations, i just wat a example, note the whole code... I'm sorry if it just seemed like I just wanted you to do my job.

As I told you on StackOverflow: RTFM. This is not a tutorial place. Put in some effort to solve that yourself. If you then get stuck: ask.

my effort is this script tha gets all usecases and requeriments from a useCase Diagram http://imgur.com/a/QPbXN
But the order it gets is wrong,im my script, the order is:
requeriment: DOTZ
UseCase: uc7210
UseCase: uc 7172
Requeriment: crediário
Requeriment: débito

the second use case returns correct, but not the first..

this is my code:

Code: [Select]

function main()
{

var CSV_DELIMITER = ";";

var filePath = OpenCSVFileDialog();

//abort if no file was specified
if ( filePath == null || filePath == "" )
return;
Repository.EnsureOutputVisible("Script");
Repository.ClearOutput("Script");

Session.Output("Exportando diagrama para: " + filePath);

var exportFile; // : FileSystemObject
var exportColumns;
var exportIsExporting = false;
var currentDiagram as EA.Diagram;
currentDiagram = Repository.GetCurrentDiagram();// collect the actual diagram

var dObjs = currentDiagram.DiagramObjects; // collection of diagram objects

var columns = new Array("Caso de Uso","Descrição","Produtos"); // array with columns names

var fsObject = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );
var exportFile = fsObject.CreateTextFile( filePath, true );

exportColumns = columns;
// Export column headings if the option was enabled
var headingString = "";    // column Title

for ( var i = 0 ; i < columns.length ; i++ )
{
if ( i == 0 )
headingString += exportColumns[i];
else
headingString += CSV_DELIMITER + exportColumns[i];
}

exportFile.WriteLine( headingString );


var rowString = "";
for (var i = 0 ; i < dObjs.Count ; i++)
{
  // current diagram object
var dObj = dObjs.GetAt(i);
  var obj = Repository.GetElementByID  (dObj.ElementID); // related element
  rowString = "";
Session.Output("tipo" + obj.Type );
if (obj.Type == "UseCase" || obj.Type == "Requirement"){ //only want UCs
if(obj.Type == "Requirement")
rowString += CSV_DELIMITER + CSV_DELIMITER +obj.name;
else
rowString += obj.Name + CSV_DELIMITER + obj.Notes ;
     
var linha  = rowString.trim();
Session.Output(linha);
        exportFile.WriteLine( linha );
}
 


}


// Clean up file object and column array
exportFile.Close();
exportFile = null;
exportColumns = null;
Session.Output("Diagrama exportado para: " + filePath);
}
// remove spaces like function TRIM in Javascript
String.prototype.trim = function () {
    return this.rTrim().lTrim();
}
String.prototype.lTrim = function () {
    var whitespace = new RegExp("^\\s+","gm");
    return this.replace(whitespace, "");
}

String.prototype.rTrim = function () {
    var whitespace = new RegExp("\\s+$","gm");
    return this.replace(whitespace, "");
}


// open the dialog window to choose the save path
function OpenCSVFileDialog()
{
var Project;
var Filename, FilterString, Filterindex, Flags, InitialDirectory, OpenorSave, filepath;

Filename = "";
FilterString = "CSV Files (*.csv)|*.csv|All Files (*.*)|*.*||";
Filterindex = 1;
Flags = 0;
InitialDirectory = "";
OpenorSave = 1;

Project = Repository.GetProjectInterface();
filepath = Project.GetFileNameDialog(Filename, FilterString, Filterindex, Flags, InitialDirectory, OpenorSave);

return filepath;
}
main();
Because of that I was thinking of looking for the connectors, but i idk how to use get the connectors...

Well, that's "some code" but none related to your original question.

But the order it gets is wrong

What order were you expecting? Looping the DiagramObjects collection will give you a collection of all objects on the diagram, but not in any particular order. If you need them in a specific order you may need to do some further processing.
