Where can I find the list of all tagged values names which exist be in EA?
For example, Message end point.

Any ideas?

Tagged values of what? There are different tables for different kinds of TVs.

To clarify: I want a list of all EA elements types as they are used via code.
"Inside EA" book has an elements types enumeration, however, this is not what I look for, as many elements types which are shown at the tagged values window, do not appear there, such as Interaction fragments and that sort of things.

Thanks.

If you mean the drop down in the attributes: they are hard coded and not to be found in any table.

The element name I look for is the name displayed in the TaggedValues window.
For example: end point element is called there "MessageEndPoint" and that is the name I have to use in code.

Thanks again.

Can you post an image? There is no specific element display in the tagged values. Or maybe you explain the steps so we can see which TV you refer to.

Hello!

The window I mean is the window shown when pressing View => Tagged Values or Ctrl + Shift + 6.

Then select a model element. The type of element shown there, is the type used in code. Isn't it?!

Do you mean the value displayed where below picture shows Class?

What you see at the top of that window is the element type or connector type. It isn't a Tagged Value, it's the reference to the element or connector in which the Tagged Values are set.

You can see a list of standard element and connector types here:

As the topic suggests, you can extend these standard types with stereotypes, so if you look at the Tagged Values window for an extended element or connector, you will see the stereotype name for that element or connector type.

Thank you so much, That's exactly what I looked for.
How can I refer to elements instances via code- what is the type of component instance or TimeLine instance, for exapmle?

And by the way, why TimeLine does not appear in this list?
Thanks

Instance = Classifier in the API

Perhaps the documentation is incomplete wrt. TimeLine.
