Thanks for the reply.

I have made progress with writing the .NET usercontrol and it works fine if i use it with the AddTab method available from the repository

i followed the article from this link
http://www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/sdk_for_enterprise_architect/creat...

The problem i have i can add the user control using the addwindow method which works, the code is like this

m_MyControl = (Test.UserControl1)Repository.AddWindow("SYSPRO Window", "Test.UserControl1");

m_MyControl.BringToFront();
IntPtr myPtr = m_MyControl.Handle;

Now i cannot find my window, i did look under the Workspace Layouts and there is nothing.  How can i trouble shoot this
I am on version 8.0 of Enterprise Architecture. Build 856.

Please Help.

Thanks in Advence.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Adding ActiveX Object via addwindow method

« on: November 17, 2010, 09:49:10 pm »

Hi I have created a active X control using VB 6.

i have registered it and now trying to use it in my EA Addin.

i am using the follwing code:
Repository.AddWindow("Test Window", "Project1.UserControl1");
the code executes with no exception raised but the window does not get added, i even checked under the work space layout.

Does the control have to be written in .NET?

If i try to add it using:
Repository.AddTab("Test", "Project1.UserControl1");

i get the "attempted to read or arite protected memory error...."

Please can someone help with this or maybe point me to the correct Microsoft articles that shows how to create a OCX in .NET

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to copy a EA user to a new user, via the automation interface.   One of the things i would to be able to do is create a new user and set the users permissions.

I am coding using C#.NET

Thanks

Ok does the EA database not store some sort of version information.

Think of it in this way you have product which is version 1.0  then later you release 2.0

I want to if possible get the similar information from the EA database.

How will one know if he/she has the correct version of the EA database or the .eap file

Thanks
