Title: EA selects corresponding attribute in Project Browser
Post by: MatthiasVDE on August 30, 2022, 07:43:12 pm

I'm writing an add-in to read and write the attribute descriptions. When I read the description (notes) from a specific attribute, EA always selects that attribute in the project browser.
For some functional reasons I don't want this, is there any way to avoid this?

Code: [Select]

txtAttributeDescription.Text = attribute.Notes

You can try to set

Code: [Select]

Repository.EnableUIUpdates = false
AFAIK selecting the attribute only happens when writing (Update()) and not when reading.

In the background there was a TechtChanged event that updates the value, so there was actually an update.
I fixed it by disabling the UIUpdates, thanks!
