BPMN 1.1 Elements

[thea]

I tried adding an element in a package that is defaulted to BPMN 1.1 control but to no avail.  I simply copied the type format when adding a BPMN1.1 diagram (BPMN1.1::BPMN).

Here's a sample code:

Code: [Select]

EA.Element NewElement = (EA.Element)Package.Elements.AddNew(vsShape.Text, "BPMN1.1::BPMN::" + sShapeType);
NewElement.Stereotype = sShapeStereotype;
where:
sShapeType - the type of the shape
sShapeStereotype - the stereotype for the current shape to be added.

When I look at its TaggedValues, it's still defaulted to BPMN 1.0, so what I do is, delete all the current tagged values and tried to add a new one.  The problem is it's not added to the shape.  Here's my code:

Code: [Select]

for (x = 0; x < ActivityTypes.Length; x++)
{
   taggedValue = (EA.TaggedValue)Element.TaggedValues.AddNew(ActivityTypes[x].ToString(), "otTaggedValue");
   taggedValue.ElementID = Element.ElementID;
   if (ActivityTypes[x].ToString() == "ActivityType")
   {
      if (sMasterName.IndexOf("SUBPROCES EXPANDED", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) >= 0 || sMasterName.IndexOf("SUB-PROCESS COLLAPSED", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) >= 0 || sMasterName.IndexOf("SUB-PROCESS LOOPING", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) >= 0)
     { taggedValue.Value = "Sub-process"; }
      else { taggedValue.Value = ActivityValues[x].ToString(); }
     }
     else if (ActivityTypes[x].ToString() == "LoopType")
     {
         taggedValue.Value = sSubType;
      }
      else { taggedValue.Value = ActivityValues[x].ToString(); }
       Element.TaggedValues.Refresh();                        
}
What should I put to the place of the "otTaggedValue" part? What's wrong with the code? Please help!

You don't seem to be calling Update() on the new tagged value. Calling Refresh() on the collection only cleans up pointers to existing members and removes pointers to deleted members. You must still call Update on any new members to actually add them to the collection. Until you Update() a new member it is only held in 'temporary' memory; it has not been added to the EA model, so the collection cannot 'see' it yet.
