Hi, i'm developing an AddIn to implement a particular "set of rules" in my requirement diagram.
The Addin is "event sensitive" in particular this one performs its instructions when a new connector is instantiated.
I had already developed my "set of rules" using Scripting so the question is: "is it possible to run a script by an AddIn? If yes, where can i find any reference for the syntax" ?

Check Geert Bellekens' add-in. It can do what you want.

Hi Alex,
Indeed, as qwerty indicated, this is exactly the use case why EA-Matic (http://bellekens.com/ea-matic/) was developed. With EA-Matic (http://bellekens.com/ea-matic/) there's no more need to develop and deploy your own addin. You just need to select the EA events you want to use and then call your validation scripts from this event.
You can evaluate the add-in for free for a month.

It seems useful to addin debugging and testing too, Thanks a lot!!! :)

OK, but still, is it possible to call EA script from Add-in?
thx

thx. I cannot use the EAWrapper because my addin is in use since 2006 :-) :-) But the way of load and run is very helpful...

Hi,
last year I had exactly the same problem. You can use MSScript Control. You can search the forum for the problem.
I also included some sample code I used for that purpose.
