Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Error loading Addin

« on: April 15, 2005, 04:04:15 am »

The problem was resolved when I manually added the assemblies into the Application Folder and set the Register property to vsdraCOMRelativePath.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Error loading Addin

« on: April 14, 2005, 09:16:13 am »

Greetings,

I've successfully developed tested an Addin on my local machine. However, I'm having problems installing it on other machines. I'm receiving an dialog window that states:

There was an error loading Add-in:
<name of add-in>
Remove it from the list of Add-ins?

I suspect the add-in is not being registered by the .NET setup project even though I've specified vsdraCOM but it's tough to tell since EA's error message is so general - it doesn't indicate the precise reason for the failure.

Any ideas?

I'm having trouble installing my Add-in on other machines. I think it has something to do with COM registration. How did you register your add-in to COM?

Thanks,

Roy

I finally found some doc in the Help. It's listed as "Operation Detail."

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Behavior

Greetings,

I noticed there exists a "Behavior" tab in the properties dialog for a class's operation. Double clicking on a class's operation (in a class diagram) displays the dialog.

What does the "Behavior" tab do? I can't seem to find any doc on it. And, how do I access it from the automation interface?

Thanks,

Roy

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: SelectedObjects Type

Apparently, SelectedObjects returns a DiagramObject.

Here's the code I used to retrieve the name of a selected element on a diagram.

Note, I pass the EA repository to the method as an argument.

EA.Diagram m_EADiagram  =    
                          m_EARepository.GetCurrentDiagram();

EA.Element m_EAElement  =   null;
EA.DiagramObject m_EADiagramObject;

for( short i = 0; i <  
     m_EADiagram.SelectedObjects.Count; i++ )
{
   m_EADiagramObject =  (EA.DiagramObject)  

   m_EADiagram.SelectedObjects.GetAt(i);

   m_EAElement = m_EARepository.GetElementByID
                               (m_EADiagramObject.ElementID);
             
    MessageBox.Show(m_EAElement.Name);
}

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / SelectedObjects Type

In the Diagram class, there is a collection called SelectedObjects.

What is the type of the objects within it?

I tried casting to the Element type, but received an exception.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I've decided to take a different approach. I'm going to write an Add-In that is invoked by a menu item. The menu item will only be available when the state diagram is displayed and the Add-In will provide the functionality I need.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Diagram Elements

« on: December 14, 2004, 01:45:24 pm »

Greetings,

I need to know when a StateFlow arrow is selected by the mouse so that I can retrieve it's properties, in particular it's link name.

I know how to retrieve the link name I just need to know when a user selects the arrow.

Is there anyway, documented or not, that the EA Automation Interface or an Add-in can detect when a user selects a diagram element?

By the way, does anyone in Sparx Support ever read these forum messages?

Thanks,

Roy

Where in the object model can the State Diagram transitions be found? I'm try to dump the Guard condition.

Thanks!
