Title: Does EA allow capturing Win32 UI simulation input and sending it to a database?
Post by: sude.ciloglu on November 13, 2025, 07:52:34 pm

I created a Win32 Login UI and a State Machine in EA, and I am running the simulation. My goal is to take the user input entered in the UI , use these values inside the State Machine, and then send them to a database (or generate Java code that can do this). However, EA does not expose or persist any user-entered values during simulation, and Win32 controls do not provide an event panel, so the Simulation Events window remains empty.
My question is: Does EA support capturing UI input during simulation, passing it into the model, and generating code that can forward this data to a database? Or is the intended workflow that UI + State Machine are only for modeling, and real input handling + DB operations must be implemented externally in Java?

EA is a modelling tool that can do some form of simulation.

It is not intended as a subsitute for a real application that can be used in a real environment.

There are other tools that are intended for this purpose (e.g. Camunda)
