C# Sample for EA_OnMethodTagEdit?

[Colin Richardson]

Looking to write a custom edit dialog for some tags.

Need the structured tag format sample - in particular the "youraddin" bit.

Also need the C# signature...

Thanks

The pre-defined tagged value definition in EA needs to be in a format:

Type=AddinBroadcast;
Values=YourAddinName;

The "YourAddinName" part needs to be the name of your EA Add-In.  What name is your add-in referenced as in your Windows registry under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins]?

E.g. if using the C# Add-In Framework project available from our website, the correct definition would be:

Type=AddinBroadcast;
Values=CS_AddinFramework;

The C# method signature should be something like:

public void EA_OnMethodTagEdit(EA.Repository repository, long MethodID, string TagName, ref string TagValue, ref string TagNotes)

HTH.

Worked a treat - thanks

Also - on the white papers page, it looks like the SDK doco is out of date as it didn't have the tag edit broadcast methods...

I can find that operation both on in my local help file as in the online documentation: http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/9.3/automation/ea_onoperationtagedit.html, so I don't see which documentation is out of date.

If you are looking for more info on creating C# add-ins you can find some here:

Online's the keyword - don't you ever just like a bit of offline documentation :-)
