Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / EA COM Interface

« on: November 01, 2006, 03:59:59 am »

We have developed an addin in EA using C# and it is working fine and all menu options are visible under “Add-Ins” in main menu of EA.

Now I have some problem with EA COM interface:

1.
When I open another EA repository file (.eap) through this addin then my addin disappears in new EA window. I am using following command to open new EA repository.

EA.RepositoryClass rc=new EA.RepositoryClass ();
rc.OpenFile(@"c:\Test.eap");  

 Above code opens new EA instance and Test.eap gets opened in this new instance of EA but my add in gets disappeared!!!!!!

2. EA COM interface provide following event:
 
  public void EA_FileOpen (EA.Repository Rep)
 {

openRep=Rep ;
 }

Where openRep is declared as

public static EA.Repository openRep;

As we know “EA_FileOpen” allows the Add-In to respond to a File Open event. When EA opens a new Model file, this event is raised and passed to all Add-Ins implementing this method. In this method we have stored the open repository reference in static variable “openRep”. Now my question is that can I access “openRep” through another addin or COM interface. So that I may use same repository to open new EAP file.

3. Suppose EA is open and we want to open an EAP file through another EXE, COM or DLL in same open EA instance. Is it possible???

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Cross Reference

« on: October 05, 2006, 10:16:47 pm »

Hi

I want to access all  the cross Reference created in the EA model for each EA element by C#.

For this I have used the following class:

           EA.ReferenceClass ()

But when i try to create instance of this class simply by following statement
 
          EA.Repository a=new EA.RepositoryClass();

Then on building i am getting the following error message:

"E:\EA_Project\EaTest.cs(124): 'EA.ReferenceClass.ReferenceClass()' is inaccessible due to its protection level "  
:'(


So what i am doing wrong can any body tell me....

Also i have Added the Enterprise Architect Object Reference in my project.


Regards & Thanks

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Find Tagged value of EA Package

« on: September 13, 2006, 09:15:24 pm »

Hi

Can we programmetically define (i.e. create new ) tagged value for selected package in model hierarchy and letter that these defined tagged value can be accessed by C# interface in EA.

Hi Touseef,

A few versions ago EA changed the way tagged values were displayed. Since then I don't think the documentation has entirely caught up.

What you need to do is to open the Tagged Values window. You can do this from the View menu, or with the control-shift-6 hot key combination. Note that this window can be kept open while you work with your project, and can be docked. If docked, it will be open by default next time you open EA. [I often dock it with the Properties window, and the new Pan and Zoom window, and keep them under the Project Browser. You should consider finding a layout you like and making it your default EA desktop.]

From the Tagged Values window you can view, add, modify and delete tagged values for the element selected on a diagram or in the Project Browser. This latter mode works well for elements that might not appear in any diagram in your model.

HTH, David

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Add-in Menu Problem

« on: September 08, 2006, 03:46:48 am »

We want to make an Addin in EA that will create two separate Menus i.e. one will on Main menu of EA and other will be created on the Tree View of Model hierarchy by same addin. For this we have used the following Event in add-in

  EA_GetMenuItems(...)

In this event code we have set the MenuLocation as “MainMenu” but it created same menu in both Main menu of EA as well as in TreeView.  

So help me
