EXEC_ADD_IN

[blawton]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the EXEC_ADD_IN macro in the Code Template Editor ( http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/modeling_languages/functionmacros.html ), but I can't figure out how to implement it in a C# addin. I've tried defining the function to be accessed in a few ways, the most obvious being:

Code: [Select]

public string getRequirementsList(EA.Repository repo, string[] args)
and

Code: [Select]

public object getRequirementsList(EA.Repository repo, object arghs)
but neither seems to even get called when I try to use the macro

Code: [Select]

$reqs = %EXEC_ADD_IN("My Addin", "getRequirementsList", opGUID)%
Anyone played with this before? Thanks for your help!

Heard back from Sparx support and I was referencing the addin wrong in the macro -- you've got to use the full name as defined in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins . Don't know why I thought the regular name would work!

Additionally the

Code: [Select]

public object getRequirementsList(EA.Repository repo, object arghs)

Is the correct constructor, after which your arguments should be cast into an array of strings (string[]).
