Set specific diagram as composite diagram

[Lars J.]

Hi all,

I know about the _makeInstance and the _defaultDiagramType attributes for metaclasses, but they only help to create a new composite diagram. That's not what I want to do.

Is there an api / property that lets me set a specific diagram as a composite diagram as I can do it from the context menu in the user interface (New Diagram -> Select Composite diagram)? Unfortunately the CompositeDiagram property of Element is read-only

thanks in advance

Lars

Hi Lars,

Yes you can, but it is not easy.
Search the forum (using the top left button) for keyword "composite". There is a topic out there that explains all the details.
IIRC is was something with adding a record in t_xref and ntype=8
