Adding a hyperlink element to my custom toolbox

[Knut Paulsen]

Hi guys,

I want to add a hyperlink element to my toolbox, but I cannot find a suitable base metaclass.

If the above problem is solvable, then I would like to decide that this link is to another diagram, have the diagram selection dialog open automatically and add a default text to the notes field. Possible?

Cheers

I'm currently not so deep in this matter. I would solve these (also your other thread) via a MDG add-in. Most likely there is no "native" solution.

You might wait a few days for others possibly having a solution.

Hi Knut

I am not quite sure what it is you are trying to achieve here and why. As far as I know, you cannot have hyperlinks in a Toolbox, so you need to rethink what it is you are trying to do.

Perhaps you can define a UML pattern and use elements from that instead?

Sounds like a job for an add-in. You will need to implement EA_OnPostNewElement where you will check if the element being created is a hyperlink or not, and then perform your processing. Except I don't think you can get the diagram selection dialog to open automatically.
