Generate code from Screens

[thomaskilian]

Hi,
has anyone succesfully generated (PHP-)code from Screens? I managed to create code for a single screen when using a stereotype. But I was not able to get hold of Screen Elements (Buttons, etc.). The template InnerClass does not recognize them as classes, so no code is generated. What I currently can do is to change theses element types to Class, but that's not my intention. I could also live (better?) with a transformation. But the Screen/elements are not transformed at all to anything.

Hi Thomas,

I haven't tried much, but I briefly modified the C# transformation to force everything to become classes and UI controls were transformed.

Try something like this in your class template.

%if elemType == "Screen"%
Class
{
$comment="This is a cut down example of what a transformed screen should look like"
  %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE("Class")%
  %TRANSFORM_CURRENT("language")%
  language="PHP"
%list="InnerClass" @separator="\n" @indent="  "%
}
%elseIf elemType=="GUIElement"%
Class
{
$comment="This is a cut down example of what a transformed ui control should look like"
  %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE("Class")%
  %TRANSFORM_CURRENT("language")%
  language="PHP"
%list="InnerClass" @separator="\n" @indent="  "%
}
%endIf%

Thanks, Simon. That did the trick

I'll have to read your discussion with SF_It about transformation reference...
