Suggestions and Requests / code synchronization exclusion area

« on: March 01, 2004, 06:28:14 am »

Using EA3.6 w/ C#, I find some important features are not supported, at least not by code syncronization. Such features include embedded classes, enumerations and structures, or the definition of events.

This is a real problem.

Of course we will all want to see these fully supported, eventually. For short-term relief, I would like to suggest a workaround: EA could support a simple way to mark a region within the source code that is to be synchronized, such that this reagion would be ignored by EA. Something like so:

//{{Sparx-Verbatim - the following will not be synchronized with EA:
  ...
//}}Sparx-Verbatim - end of synchronization exclusion

Something along these lines. This shouldn't be too hard to implement, but should bring relief to many users. Most noteably myself ;-)

Please let me know if such a feature exists already (I couldn't find anything, but may have used the wrong keywords in my research), and please consider adding support for code sync exclusion at your earlierst convenience otherwise.

Thanks. Regards from London,
Bernd

Suggestions and Requests / rubberband zoom needed

« on: February 17, 2004, 09:18:04 am »

EA3.6 supplies 4 zoom operations: zoom in one level, zoom out one level, fit to page, and "100%".
Drives me nuts that a fifth operation is missing: zoom selection that is selected with rubberband to fit display.

See Visio for an example. Visio actually combines this feature with hotkeys: control + mouse left (define area) to "fit screen" the selected area.

Hard to live without, once you're used to it.

General Board / private (embedded) classes, structs, or enums

« on: February 18, 2004, 03:21:55 am »

I am seeking a way to define the model such that the C# code generator creates private (or protected) definitions for a certain class, struct or enumeration within another class like so:

public class X {
  private class Y { // or enum, or struct
     ...
  } // end of Y
  ...
} // end of X

Any clues?
TIA,
Bernd
