Title: [solved] Display an Element's Notes via Addin Code
Post by: blawton on January 07, 2011, 02:27:22 am

I'm sure this is simple and something I've overlooked, but I'm making a C# addin to generate diagrams and I'd like each element to display its notes by default -- is this something to do with an element's Style/StyleEx? I know how to display the notes from the GUI once the diagram is generated, but I'd rather have the notes field displayed automatically upon the diagram's generation. Thanks for your help!

Nevermind, I found it in the user manual:

Code: [Select]

diagram.StyleEx = "ShowNotes=1";
diagram.Update();

I think you've missed a semi-colon...

Quote

diagram.StyleEx = "ShowNotes=1[highlight];[/highlight]";
diagram.Update();

it seems to work both ways -- could anything terrible happen if I forget to close the last styling option?
