Script diagram "collapse embedded elements"?

[Mr Stuff]

Can anyone tell me what/how to set/clear?

A quick check of the diagram's extended style shows the parameter isn't in there... nor do I see any other obvious location for it.

Thanks - Julian

It's simply done by removing/adding the according diagramObject.

Thanks, but that's not really the issue The diagram properties dialog* has a check box to "collapse embedded objects", which reduces their appearance to black dots on the element edge.

I don't want to remove the diagram objects merely enable/disable this display option.

*right-click on diagram background... Properties... Elements... "collapse embedded objects" check box.

Hi Mr Stuff,

I don't catch your issue. Think about making a little concrete example. What embedded objects do you have in mind? A little picture would make it clear.

In EA you can control the appearance of:
- Diagram
- Diagram nodes
- Diagram links

If you want e.g. not show Ports on a Diagram, there is at least one Addin that solves the issue.

Kind regards,

Helmut

t_diagram.StyleEx includes "CEE=1;"

@KP  I just found that while waiting for further answers...

following fragment toggles Collapse Embedded Elements

Code: [Select]

newStyleEx = curDiag.StyleEx
if instr(newStyleEx, "CEE=1;") > 0 then
newStyleEx = Replace (newStyleEx, "CEE=1;", "")
else
' just to be safe, follow the Sparx pattern of putting the CEE=1 value just before the Theme
newStyleEx = Replace (newStyleEx, "Theme=", "CEE=1;Theme=")
end if
curDiag.StyleEx = newStyleEx
curDiag.Update
Repository.ReloadDiagram(curDiag.DiagramID)

Thanks, Julian
