Navigation Cell Behaviour

[namealreadytaken]

Greetings,

Using v.14, I am developing a Navigation page using the Navigation Cell option. Click a project name to display the project information diagram. The user is forced to perform another action to display the project location within the browser.

Is there a way to code the Navigation Cell object to perform its default action & display the projection location?

Linking the package as an element onto the diagram works, but the user interface tends to be cluttered & visually unappealing.

Thanks for your response.

This is totally undocumented so could fail at any time, but one way that I have found to do this sort of thing is:

• Create a Hyperlink from the Common toolbox
• Double click on the hyperlink and select the object that you wish to open (in your case open a Package)
• Change the stereotype on the Hyperlink element to NavigationCell (note all one word)
• Close the project and re-open (yes really - the visual effect is only applied when the project is re-opened after the above steps)
• The hyperlink is now a blank Navigation cell - you can change the size, background colour etc. but it doesn't have an image as the ones do if you drag a diagram and create a navigation cell as intended by Sparx

I originally used this to create a link to a matrix but I have tried and it works for a package as well. Perhaps one day this will be officially supported in some way, such as a toolbox element.
