Event for Selected Element changed in Project Browser

[TheMintRubber]

Hi,

I am using WPF to write an Enterprise Architect addin.

I need to react when a user selects an item in the project browser. Is there an event for this?

I've already found the broadcast event page, but I couldn't find anything in there. http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/10/automation_and_scripting/broadcastevents.html.

I also know there is the EARepository.GetTreeSelectedItem() method, that returns the item selected in the project browser, but I would have to add a timer and call this method every 500 ms or so, so this is not a good idea.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Doru.

Try EA_OnContextItemChanged.

Hi Doru,


You want the "context item" events, specifically EA_OnContextItemChanged(). This alerts the Add-In that the user has changed their selection in the GUI.

The similarly named EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified() is fired when the element, attribute, etc data has been modified.

HTH,
