Get DiagramObject objects

[SvenK]

Hello,

I want to set the style of all components in all diagrams automatically using jscript. I created an SQL search and have the Object_IDs of the desired DiagramObjects. However, I couldn't find a function to get the DiagramObject using the ID (something similar to Reposityor.GetElementByID (long ElementID) ).

Do I really have to iterate over each Diagram there iterate over Diagram.DiagramObjects?

Sven,

A diagramObject contains a DiagramID.
So the best you can do is use Repository.SQLQuery() to get the diagramID's, get the diagrams using Repository.GetDiagramByID() , and then iterate the Diagram.DiagramObjects to find the ones you need.

I don't know of a way to do this using the EA api but since you say you want to update -all- components on -all- diagrams using the EA API may turn out to be too slow at any rate.

It would be much faster to directly update the column ObjectStyle in the  t_diagramobjects table and then reload any open diagrams by calling Repository.RefreshOpenDiagrams to reflect the changes.


Btw note that the object_id is not the identifier of the diagram object but of the element behind the diagramobject... and an element may appear multiple times in different diagrams.

best regards,

Paulus

Hi Sven,

This request should work fine.

select D.name, D.diagram_id, O.name, O.object_id
from t_object O, t_diagram D, t_diagramobjects OD
where OD.object_id=O.object_id and OD.diagram_id=D.diagram_id
order by D.name, O.name
