Bring up properties dialog

[Stefan Bolleininger]

Hello,

a little Question:

I want to show up the element properties dialog from inside a Add-in.

Is it possible to open the dialog? I can't find anything about it the user guide.

Merry Christmas everyone!

No, not possible.
(unless you use something like sendkeys to simulate a doubleclick)

Just tossing in my 0.02 CAD on this...

If you can get the user to do something, use the appropriate broadcast event. This would likely be one of the EA_OnContextItemXXX events. Or you could capture the EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified event.

I have no idea - actually I simply don't remember and don't have the time just now to construct the experiment - whether you can trigger these from within your code. AFAIK they were designed to respond to user input through the UI; there might not be any provision for triggering by automation.
