Hmm, I ve tried it, but it didnt work:

Dim objectDef As EA.Element
Dim diagramObject As EA.diagramObject

Set objectDef = package.Elements.AddNew("start", "StateNode")
objectDef.subtype = 100
objectDef.Update


Set diagramObject = diagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew("", "")
diagramObject.ElementID = objectDef.ElementID
diagramObject.Update


Where can I find the reference guide?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Add an initial activity (StateNode) to diagram?

« on: March 10, 2006, 05:04:07 am »

Hello,

I am trying to add an initial activity (StateNode) to an activity diagram, but it doesnt work.

Here my code example (VB6):

Dim objectDef As EA.Element
Dim diagramObject As EA.diagramObject

Set objectDef = package.Elements.AddNew("start", "StateNode")
objectDef.Update


Set diagramObject = diagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew("", "")
diagramObject.ElementID = objectDef.ElementID
diagramObject.Update


the result is a StateNode-object, but it is transparent and not black. What I am doing wrong?

I have an other problem with setting left and right position of the diagramObject, I tried it like this:

activityDiagramObject.Left = 1000
activityDiagramObject.Top = 100
activityDiagramObject.Update


What is wrong here?

Thanks!! It works now :-)

My problem was that I tried to add an element onto the diagram and not a diagramObject...

How can I connect 2 activities with each other?

I am a little bit confused now...

What I have to do when i want create a new activity diagram and put an activity object onto the diagram?

I thougt that I have to do following (in VB6):

1. Get the Repository:

   Dim MyRep As New EA.Repository

   MyRep.OpenFile "c:\eatest.eap"


2. Get the Package in which I want to add the Diagram:

   Set RootPackage = MyRep.Models.GetAt(0)

3. Add new activity diagramm in the Package:

  Set activityDiagram = RootPackage.Diagrams.AddNew("My Diagram", "Activity")

4. Add new activity object in the package:

  Set activityObjectDef = activityPackage.Elements.AddNew("Activity 1", "Activity")

5. Put the activity object onto the activity diagram:




Now my questions are: Are the steps 1-4 correct? How can I put an object onto a diagram?

Ok, I ve tried something like this, but I cant set ELEMENTID for activityDiagramObject?

activityDiagramObject.ElementID has read only access and I cant set the ID. How can I set the elementID?

An other question is, how do I set the coordinates of my activityDiagramObject in the diagram?

Hello,

how can I add a element to a diagram?

here is a code snippet:


Set activityDiagram = activityPackage.Diagrams.AddNew("My Activity Diagram", "Activity")

Set activityElement = activityPackage.Elements.AddNew("Activity 1", "Activity")

activityDiagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew (activityElement)

activityDiagram.Update
activityPackage.Diagrams.Refresh


But I cant add an to the diagramm using DiagramObjects.AddNew (activityElement)

How can I do that?

@Midnight:

The idea behind this is to transform an EPC (Event Driven Process Chain), which is used in ARIS Toolset (ARIS is a business process modeling tool), to an UML activity diagram.

If I want to add a diagram to the repository, must I open it before? I want to add a diagram hidden without opening the project visible for the user.

Ok, thanks for your answers.

Is there a tutorial for API available, because I don't know where I have to start...

I want to create Acitivity Diagrams with Activity, StateNode, Decsion, Dependency-Elements. Is there a good example for newbees?

Which approach would you advise me?

Hello,

is it possible to create an activity diagram in EA from a VB-exe with the automation interface?

If it is possible, can you tell me how?

Are there code samples available for things like this?

Thanks for your help!
