Title: Listing Elements of a diagram
Post by: utilisateurEA on June 08, 2010, 11:55:00 pm

Hello,

I would like to list all the elements used in a diagram with a script.
I tried EA.Diagram Diag and a Diag.DiagramObjects but it doesn't seem to be the right solution.
Do you know how I could list all the elements used in a diagram ?

Thank you

Define "all elements used in a diagram" and why .DiagramObjects doesn't do it for you...

By "all elements used in a diagram" I mean all the elements displayed on a diagram, like an interface, a port, an actor, a dependency,... anything which is displayed on my diagram.


.DiagramObjects doesn't fit to me because when I write my script, exactly when I write Diag.DiagramObjects. I have the choice between operations (like Delete, Equals, GetHashCode) but no property(except ObjectType). So I deduced it wasn't the right solution

Caveat - the following applies to the Automation Interface - it may not apply to the Scripting Interface.  (I don't use it as I do more complex stuff that isn't readily amenable to scripting).

Firstly, lines (such as Dependency) are not DiagramObjects - they are DiagramLinks.

Secondly, both DiagramObjects and DiagramLinks are collections and so you need to use Gets (such as GetAt() or GetByName())  to return the items of the collection.

HTH,
