Notifications of Tagged Value changes

[EXploringEA]

Hi

Does anybody know if there is a event that is issued when a tagged value is changed on an element. And if so its signature?

Something similar to EA_OnElementTagEdit but for other tagged values e.g. enums, strings?

Thanks

PS: I perhaps should have mentioned that EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified is called when a tagged value is changed but doesn't provide the details of which tagged value has been changed (or does it somewhere?)

I don't think something like that exists.

If you really need to know which tagged values is changed you'll have to somehow make a backup copy of the element before it is changed, and then check the backup against the current values in the EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified event.

I think you can use the EA_OnContextItemChanged to make a backup copy of your element.

Hi Geert

Thanks for this - if you don't know a method, I don't and nobody else has responded I assume it doesn't exist and my dream of an elegant solution goes west

Your approach looks like the way I'll have to go - I was trying to avoid keeping data in 2 places, just doesn't seem right.

Absolutely. However, things often don't work the way we expect them to do. So does EA. This is one of the work arounds you need in such cases.

Hi @all,

I think this event is really missing in the automation interface. To know which element has been changed is one important thing, but the even more important thing is to know what changed in this element.

Has anybody of you submitted a change request to Sparx for this?

Thanks!

Simply go ahead and send your request. Somehow Sparx will put more weight in a feature if it's requested by more than one person. At least many of us believe in that.
