Title: Processing connectors in addin
Post by: GrahamL on June 12, 2020, 08:02:59 pm

Hi
Suppose I have 2 elements linked via a connector.
In my addin I am looping through the elements in a package and within the loop I am looping through the connectors
Obviously each element has a connector (the same one).
During my processing of the connector I want to able to identify which is the source and which is the destination but cant see how to do this?

Any hints

Thanks

You have to compare the SupplierID and ClientID with the ElementID of your element.

PS. This is a potentially very slow way to get to your connectors. You can also get the connectorID's you need using Repository.SQLQuery and then get the connectors using Repository.GetConnectorByID

I have no experience of using sql queries so will have to go learn

You can find a lot of example in C# https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Add-in-Framework (https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Add-in-Framework) or vbscript https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library (https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library)
