Title: Add-In - display default Properties Dialog
Post by: L.Krobot on March 13, 2015, 02:20:54 am

I have my own Add-In that shows the custom properties dialog instead of the standard (default one), but in some cases i need to show also the deafault one, directly from my Add-In form ....
how I can do this (which API I have to call) ???
thx, ljk

Check out Model.cs (https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Add-in-Framework/blob/master/EAAddinFramework/EAWrappers/Model.cs) in the Enterprise Architect Addin Framework (https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Add-in-Framework)

Code: [Select]

     /// <summary>
      /// opens the properties dialog for this item
      /// </summary>
      /// <param name="item">the item to open the properties dialog for</param>
      public void openProperties(UML.UMLItem item)
      {
            //get the type string
            string typeString = string.Empty;
            int itemID = 0;
            if (item is Package)
            {
                  typeString = "PKG";
                  itemID = ((Package)item).packageID;
            }
            else if (item is ElementWrapper)
            {
                  typeString = "ELM";
                  itemID = ((ElementWrapper)item).id;
            }
            else if (item is Attribute)
            {
                  typeString = "ATT";
                  itemID = ((Attribute)item).id;
            }
            else if (item is Operation)
            {
                  typeString = "OP";
                  itemID = ((Operation)item).id;
            }
            else if (item is Diagram)
            {
                  typeString = "DGM";
                  itemID = ((Diagram)item).DiagramID;
            }
// TODO: figure out how to open the properties dialog for a connector.      
//            else if (item is ConnectorWrapper)
//            {
//                  //typeString = "CON";
//                  typeString = "MSG";
//                  itemID = ((ConnectorWrapper)item).id;
//            }
            //open the actual dialog
            if (this.mainEAWindow != null
                && typeString != string.Empty
                && itemID != 0)
          {
                  string ret = this.wrappedModel.CustomCommand("CFormCommandHelper", "ProcessCommand", "Dlg=" + typeString + ";id=" + itemID.ToString() + ";hwnd=" + this.mainEAWindow.Handle);
          }
      }
which needs

Code: [Select]

/// <summary>
    /// the main EA window to use when opening properties dialogs
    /// </summary>
    public IWin32Window mainEAWindow
    {
          get
          {
                if //(true)
                      (this._mainEAWindow == null)
                {
                      List<Process> allProcesses = new List<Process>( Process.GetProcesses());
                           Process proc = allProcesses.Find(pr => pr.ProcessName == "EA");
                       //if we don't find the process then we set the mainwindow to null
                           if (proc == null
                               || proc.MainWindowHandle == null)
                       {
                             this._mainEAWindow = null;
                       }
                       else
                       {
                             //found it. Create new WindowWrapper
                             this._mainEAWindow  = new WindowWrapper(proc.MainWindowHandle);
                       }
                }
                 return this._mainEAWindow;
          }
    }
I still haven't found the key to use for the connector properties, so if anyone finds out...
