Docking after creating a window with AddWindow

[EXploringEA]

Hi

I am using AddWindow to add a user control to EA - all works fine in that that appears OK under addIn windows and I can drag and dock as needed within the UI, however I can't see a method to dock the window programmatically and provide that better user experience of the window appear and visible to the user as expected!

I assume I have missed something - or perhaps its not documented or possible.  

Anybody know?
Thanks

These settings are stored in %APPDATA%\Sparx Systems\EA\Workspace Layouts. You might be able to decode it, but it's probably not easy. Additionally you might ask for a new feature.

Hi qwerty

Thanks for the information - had a quick look and nothing springs out.  As you say some decoding.

I'll have another look but in the meantime I think there will need to be a message to ask the user to get the window, place it where they want it and create a new workspace layout!

Not sure a feature request would appear within the desired timescales

Sounds like a reasonable solution :-)

Could you tell me how to create the ActiveX custom control to be docked to Enterprise Architect by addWindow()  ?

Is there any tutorial for it?

The docking can only be achieved manually. There might be a chance to hack what EA stores in the above mentioned files. But then you need to restart EA so it reads the file and applies the layout.
