How can I know the original type of a diagram

[dangel]

How can I know the original type of a diagram like if it is: Structural or Behavioral type, by diagram GUID or ID or Type?

Thanks

but how can i know the original type using guid-of-diagram. Api/ sql in EA

Check the type and use the diagram above to deduce it.

OK, so you mean there is no query or API to do that in EA ?

Exactly. But getting the type and using a table will do, I guess.

OK, I will do a virtual Table, C# (DataTable) or even HashTable to do 2 columns one for PK (diagram-type)  Value(Org-Type)

This was  my last solution, because I could not find EA-API for that.

Thank you for your help.

There's only thirteen different diagram types.
Why make life more complicated then it needs to.
A simple switch case would suffice.
Something like the code below.

Code: [Select]

public string getDiagramTypeGroup(string diagramType)
{
  switch (diagramType)
  {
     case "ProfileDiagram":
     case "ClassDiagram":
     case "ComponentDiagram":
     case "...":
       return "StructureDiagram":
       break;
     case "SequenceDiagram":
     case "CommunicationDiagram":
     case "ActivityDiagram":
     case "...":
       return "BehaviorDiagram":
       break;    
  }
}

It is OK, but I just wanted to ask if there are some API for that, because in future if some new types are added then my tool should be able to deal with the dynamic changes!
Anyway, thanks a lot
