Text element as a link to another diagram

[Fabio Riera]

Hello,

I need to create a text element that links to another diagram.

Comparing the records in the database between a simple text and a text with link I found three diferences:

T_OBJECT.PDATA1 = The linked diagram ID.
T_DIAGRAMOBJECTS.SEQUENCE = ?
T_DIAGRAMOBJECTS.OBJECTSTYLE = "DUID=?"

My question is how to create a text element that links to another diagram programmatically?

Is there a way to do it without query the database?
If not, which fields and values in database I need to set?

Thanks in advance!

The PDATA can not be written via API you need to do that like

Code: [Select]

REpository.Execute ("UPDATE t_diagramobjects SET PDATA1 ... WHERE ...")The Sequence is for stacking elements on top of each other (I can't remember now which number is top and which is bottom; it's described in the help). The DUID is something EA-internal. You don't need to set it.

Ok, setting PDATA1 is only I need to transform a text element in link?

AFAIR, yes. If you run into trouble just post here and I'll look into details once again.
