Getting/setting a diagram property on an element using script?

[Jayson]

Hello all

I have a bunch of stereotypes that have diagram properties within them <<diagram property>> and am trying to get and set their values within Sparx scripting.

Given that their scope is limited to diagrams, I am assuming that I need to access them via the Diagram Object rather than the Element Object.
However, looking at the object model for Diagram Objects I cannot for the life of me see a natural way to do this.

Is this possible to do this?

Cheers

Can you be more specific about what kind of properties you are trying to get/set? If you are trying to change some aspect of the appearance of an Element on a specific diagram, then yes, DiagramObject would be the best place to look.

Hey Aaron

Thanks for your reply!
I have added custom diagram properties to my stereotype by applying the <<diagram property>> stereotype to one of the element stereotype's attributes by following the example given in the link below.

These custom diagram properties have a scope restricted to a specific diagram, meaning that you can set the same property to two different values on different diagrams.

However, what I can't figure out is how to access them using the scripting language.

Cheers :-)
