Detect Interfaces Relations

[Tehila1]

Hello!

How can I detect programmatically if required interface is related to a real interface or it just has representation in diagram?  

I would like also to check the same about provided interfaces.

Thanks in advance!

Check if Classifier_guid is set.

I have 2 required interfaces: one I related to an existing interface and the second not.  

I retrieved the required interfaces

Code: [Select]

ClassifierID from both of them and value is 0 at both.

Any ideas?

Please make sure the interface is still set by clicking the "..." button in "Exposed Interface" dialog and checking if the selection points to the actual element in the model.

I tried in a simple script and the classifier information seems to be set OK, refer to output below.

Working on element 'Interface1' (Type=ProvidedInterface, ClassfierID=2340, Classifier Type=Interface)

Code

Code: [Select]

Session.Output( "Working on element '" & theElement.Name & "' (Type=" & theElement.Type & _
", ClassfierID=" & theElement.ClassifierID & ", Classifier Type=" & theElement.ClassifierType &")" )

Hello!

I would like to clarify myself:

I have a component.

Two Required (or provided) interfaces are owned by the component;
The first is related to an existing regular interface and the second not.

Even though the second one has representation on diagram, I would like to ignore him when I query for the component elements.  

Therefore, how can I distinguish between them?
I have no classifier_guid in API and Classifier_ID retrieves 0 for the 2 different interfaces.  

Thanks in advance!

"first is related to an existing regular interface"

As stated in my previous post,

Please make sure the interface is set by clicking the "..." button in "Exposed Interface" dialog

If it is set this way, the ELEMENT.ClassifierID returns a non-zero value, as i showed in my script example

Nizam is absolutely right. It's not sufficient to type the classifier name. It must be set using the ellipsis button.

Thank you all!

Problem is solved:
 I was related it to interface as described, but then changed its name- which causes disconnection...

Thanks again.
