Title: Element Automation
Post by: Stephen on March 17, 2004, 01:47:01 am

To add new Element's through the automation interface it is neecessary to supply a type (string).
Is there an enum of permitted types or does the string just get stored regardless?
???

Tiny Documentation Bug (?)
Documentation for Collection.AddNew indicates two string parameters and lists [Type] above [Name].

Code samples "Add and Manage Elements" has example of
...
element = package.elements.AddNew("Login to Website", "UseCase")
...

which appears to use the parameters in the opposite order.
Code sample appears correct.

Still interested in the enum...

I would suspect that's what the 'reference lists' in the automation interface are for; for list 'Element', they are collections of strings like "Class", "Requirement", etc.

see GetReferenceList in the help, and try it, see what it returns

Thanks there - certainly looks like it'll help
