Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Get/Set operation parameter multiplicity through API

« on: February 22, 2022, 07:07:44 pm »

For newbies: is it possible to give the backdoor code?

I guess, we're talking about some select

Select t_xref.`Type`, client.Object_ID as ClientID, client.Name as ClientName, client.Object_Type as ClientType, supplier.Object_ID as SupplierID, supplier.Name as SupplierName, supplier.Object_Type as SupplierType from t_xref, t_object client, t_object supplier where t_xref.Client = client.ea_guid and t_xref.Supplier = supplier.ea_guid;

I have ParameterGUID, I need to know the multiplicity of it. Don't know how to run selects yet

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Attribute type namespace=?

« on: January 13, 2022, 05:32:09 am »

dear Geert, thanks a ton, this ClassifierID magic allows to do things faster and cleaner, and is exactly what I was after. Docs are kinda misleading here, I feel

The ElementID of a Classifier associated with this element; that is, the base type. Only valid for instance type elements (such as Object or Sequence).

I thought I don't need *base* type, and I was working with Class, not an Object or Sequence.
But it worked just fine.

About namespace=true/false, I'm a newbie and didn't give that much thought yet. In my green head they are all the same as of now. But I see relevant property and would read upon that.

Recusion on finding good parent idea is clear. Thanks again.
Alexander

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Attribute type namespace=?

« on: January 13, 2022, 03:28:09 am »

Friends, thanks in advance for your time!

Please suggest a better way to learn the namespace of Type of Attribute of Class?

So far I could dig it up like this and this does not feel elegant/effective:

Code: [Select]

var p = Repository.GetTreeSelectedPackage()
  var e = p.Elements.GetByName("Usage")
  var a2 = e.Attributes.GetAt(13);
 
    for (var i = 0; i < a2.TypeInfoProperties.Count; i++) {
        var prop = a2.TypeInfoProperties.Items(i);
    Session.Output(prop.Name+": "+prop.Value);
    // name: exampleProductUsage
    // type: {F903116B-4D2B-48e8-884B-9B8392F1C7DB}
    }
    // could not find a way to get property by name instead of scanning all items
    // TypeInfoProperties.GetProperty("name") returns empty string for me (15.2.1555)
