Inserting images in EA with an addin

[Rodolfo]

Im currently developing an addin in C# for Enterprise Architect than allows me to design a Table with Windows Forms and show it's as a t_diagramobject appearance (since the built-in table stereotype is ugly and not dynamic).

I'm already able to build my table the way i want, with dynamic columns, names and lines with my form. When i submit it, i take a screenshot of the table and store it in a variable. What i want is a way to save it in the Image Manager of EA, so i can set my t_diagramobject appearance to show that image.

I already searched for an Image object in the EA Interop.dll Namespace, but guess what? Found nothing. Even in the Repository object i couldn't find a collection of images or something related.

Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks!

This is because the API does not support alt-images. You need to add a string to diagramObjects.objectStyle

Code: [Select]

ImageID=<id>;
where <id> is that of you image in t_image.

yeah, but in order to store images in t_images i need to use pure sql then ? isn't there a way to store them using the Repository object?
Also, images are stored in bytearrays or char64Strings ?

Yes, you need pure SQL. I once posted how to do that here on the forum. Try the search button top left or the Google Sparx group which shadows this forum.
