General Board / Re: tagged value connector gets out of step

« on: August 14, 2022, 07:10:53 am »

OK, I'll try to be more specific.

I have an element (named 'DB Admin') with a tagged value connector.  The tagged value is set to an element, originally called 'full access to all records'.  When I look at the tagged value on 'DB Admin', this value is what appears in the field.

I now change the name to 'Customer Records::Full Access To All Records'.  However the tagged value on 'DB Admin' hasn't changed.  It's now inconsistent.

General Board / tagged value connector gets out of step

« on: August 13, 2022, 11:01:26 pm »

Hi folks.

When I create a tagged value connector, the value is the name of the object I select.

When I change the name of the object, the value of the tag doesn't change, so it becomes out of step.

Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / trouble with shape script decorator

« on: July 29, 2022, 06:05:12 am »

Hi, I have set up some shape scripts for my stereotype profile.  These set up a decorator at the top right corner of the element box.  They reference images.

Most of the icons displayed OK originally but when I changed the images, the decorators didn't change.

Also, one of the decorators is refusing to display at all.

Help!!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / trouble with toolbox icon

« on: July 29, 2022, 06:01:45 am »

Hi
I have set up a toolbox profile with some icons.  Most of the toolbox icons display OK, but one of them, instead of displaying the icon I have set, it displays a folder icon.

Any ideas?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / iterating over a tagged value connector instance

« on: July 18, 2022, 05:58:51 pm »

Hi, I have a stereotyped element with a tagged value connector.  That is, it has a tagged value which references a collection of elements.

I am trying to write a script which iterates over this collection, but it's failing with an error.

The code looks like this

1                  dim capabilities as EA.Collection
2                  capabilities = tag.Value
3                  for n=0 to capabilities.Count-1
4                     dim capability as EA.Element
5                     capability = capabilities.GetAt(n)
6                                                      <stuff>
7                  next

The error is 'Object Required' at line 3.

Any ideas?

Hi, there doesn't seem to be any way to do it in Javascript.  I have rewritten my code in vbscript.

Thanks.  I have read this doc, but it's still not clear to me what I need to do to actually generate code.  Are there any examples anywhere?
