I don't understand your question.

A context element in a diagram I can get with repository.getContextObject(); My usual way to get the last selected element.

It works well.

If a reload a diagram the context element is lost. I would like to set it again so that I can work with is by an Addin.

I think your question guided me to the solution.

I select one diagram element after reload the diagram. That's all and simple. If I get no context element I just take the one selected. I haven't seen the simple solution.

Thanks a lot for your question.

I've tried it it works.

Although a diagramobject is selected sometimes I get with rep.GetContextItemType() an otNone. That has the effect I have to click on the selected diagram element once more to make the Addin work as expected. That's bothers.

The problem occurs:
- My Addin reload the diagram
- My Addin selects the wanted element
- rep.GetContextItemType() returns a otNone.

Thanks,

Helmut
