Title: Recognise multiple selection - GetTreeSelected .... (e.g. with JaVA API)
Post by: Pegasus on January 04, 2017, 11:23:09 pm

Hello,

there are some contratictory topics to question how to get in projectbrowser selected Obejcts (e.g. packages, requirements/elements); e.g. http://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,30519.msg222208.html#msg222208 [Geerd] and http://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,5050.msg123251.html#msg123251 [Aaron]. I do have same problem. In EA 13 using Java API GetTreeSelectedElements returns collection with e.g requirements only not also selected packages, so I assume there isn't an interface returning collection of selected "objects" [in project-browser]. But how is it possible to recognise multiple selections of "objects" e.g. packages and elements at once

Thanks for support and elucidation

I just checked in v13 and GetTreeSelectedElements returns nothing when only packages are selected.
There also doesn't seem to be a way to select both packages and elements, it's one or the other.

To my knowledge there's no way to get the selected packages.

You could trick with a UML search that includes the #Branch# tag. However, this is just bad API design here.
