EA_OnPostNewDiagramObject not called...

[Lars J.]

Dear,

I try to intercept the creation of a diagram object using EA_OnPostNewDiagramObject. The signature of the function is:

public bool EA_OnPostNewDiagramObject(EA.Repository r, EA.EventProperties eP)
{
    return true;  // just a test
}

But when I set a breakpoint in this method and create a new element of a stereotyped class (that I provided in a uml profile) then the breakpoint is not hit. It is only hit, when I create a standard class on the diagram.

Can I make EA call this hook anyway? Did I miss something?

thanks and regards.

Lars

Found a workaround:

EA_OnPostNewElement does the trick.



thx.

I have not tried it, but would say that on creating a new element on a diagram should trigger both hooks. First NewElement then NewDiagramObject.

[edit] Just tried it (V11) and it works as described above.

qwerty, thx for trying.

I also double checked. EA_OnPostNewElement is hit, EA_OnPostNewDiagramObject not.

I am using EA 10 ultimate. probably I am something missing.....

I also tried with an BPMN element and no issue too. Same with V10. So you must be doing something wrong.

P.S. Just found out that a Port only triggers NewElement. I'd rate this a bug. Any takers to submit a report? I'm sick of that.
