Getting Properties names of UML Element
« on: March 22, 2013, 09:49:50 pm »
Hi,

I am working on a EA add-in. I have custom elements defined in MDG technology.

I need some help to list all the properties names of these Elements.

I have already access to the custom tagged values because it is defined in the mdg technology.

But I also need to list the standard properties derived from basic UML.

For example in the case of UML requirement I need to list the following :

[Short description, Alias, Status, Difficulty, Priority, ..., ...]

It needs to work without any EA project opened. Is this information defined somewhere in a file ?

Thanks and regards,

Etienne.

You want to call an element without EA opened?

you can get all this information from the database or eap-file, but how do you call it without having a selected element or any idea about which element you want to use?

On the later version (i think v10) you can setup many own items for your project and they are defined in

t_lists of the DBMS.

You might be interested in my book Inside EA. It contains also a cross reference from GUI to internal tables/columns you can query via standard UML.
