Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / How do I open a package from a diagram?
« on: June 30, 2004, 03:03:53 am »
I'm developing an add-in for EA 3.60.
Lets say the user has a created a diagram and on that diagram is a package. The user selects the diagram from the tree view and invokes the add-in.
I can get the selected IDualDiagram object from the repository and can search through the DiagramObjects collection until I find an IDualElement with type "package". This is the element that represents the package on the diagram. So far so good.
What I really want to do is extract the elements and packages collections from the package. I don't have a reference to the IDualPackage. I only have the IDualElement which is a component of the package.
How can I navigate from the IDualElement which represents the package to the IDualPackage which owns it?
