Title: formatting notes from elements
Post by: DanielL on November 02, 2010, 10:18:08 pm

Hello,

I want to add an note to an element via the SDK API. This works fine. But I'm not able to add a formatted string.

I have seen, that the EA uses HTML style formats for notes of elements.

I tried to add a note with a string like this:

"<div><p>my note</p></div>".

But if you look later into the EA you see exactly the string without any formatting.

Is it possible to add new notes with HTML-style string formats to the elements?

best regards

Daniel

Look for GetFieldFromFormat (string Format, string Text) in the user guide.

Converts a field from your preferred format to Enterprise Architect's internal format. Returns the field in Enterprise Architect's internal format.

Parameters:

Format: String - The format to convert the field from. Valid formats are:
HTML - Full HTML
RTF - Rich Text Format
TXT - Plain text
Text: String - The field to be converted.
