Title: Function of t_objecttypes table?
Post by: Paolo F Cantoni on April 06, 2010, 06:52:45 pm

Can anyone tell me what the function of the t_objecttypes table is?

I've been running on an .EAP with an empty t_objecttypes table for a couple of hours and there doesn't seem to be any ill effects...  Maybe I've just been lucky?  The table has to exist - else EA won't start - but apart from that...

I have no clue.
I just tested by deleting the contents of that table and tried some different things (like adding custom types such as GUIElements to a diagram, changing the type of an element and creating an HTML export) but none of those things did something wrong.

It appears to be used for filling listboxes and comboboxes, for example on the Auto Name Counters dialog (Settings > Auto Name Counters). You can also create a custom tagged value which enumerates the table contents (Type=Enum;List=ObjectTypes;)

Well one listbox it DOESN'T populate is the list of object types to change to...  :o
