Create new activity diagrams?

[hansmaiser]

Hello,

is it possible to create an activity diagram in EA from a VB-exe with the automation interface?

If it is possible, can you tell me how?

Are there code samples available for things like this?

Thanks for your help!

This is possible. You might look into the VB code sample delivered together with EA. I don't know whether this specific topic is covered :-/

You need to execute the AddNew() method on a Diagrams collection. So for example if you wanted to create an activity diagram beneath an element e:

Code: [Select]


Dim d as EA.Diagram
Set d = e.Diagrams.AddNew("Diagram Name", "Activity")
d.ShowDetails = False  ' or whatever settings you choose
d.Update
e.Diagrams.Refresh


or something like that.

Ok, thanks for your answers.

Is there a tutorial for API available, because I don't know where I have to start...

I want to create Acitivity Diagrams with Activity, StateNode, Decsion, Dependency-Elements. Is there a good example for newbees?

Which approach would you advise me?
