Bugs and Issues / Re: currentModel.connectors not working

« on: August 23, 2010, 02:44:13 pm »

so if I want to retrieve the connectors from a package that is on a particular diagram, what should I do?

I tried calling diagrams.diagramlinks to get the connectors ids, and tried using package.connectors to call all the connectors to match with those connector ids. Howeever, I am stuck at the point where package.connectors give me no connectors.

Thanks!

Bugs and Issues / currentModel.connectors not working

« on: August 23, 2010, 05:47:59 am »

Code: [Select]

       private Hashtable produceLinkTable(EA.Package currentPackage)
        {
            Hashtable tempHash = new Hashtable();
            for (int k = 0; k < currentPackage.Connectors.Count; k++)
            {
                EA.Connector tempConnector = ((EA.Connector)currentPackage.Connectors.GetAt((short)k));
                tempHash.Add(tempConnector.ConnectorID, tempConnector);
            }
            return tempHash;
        }
and when I do a connectors.count.... zero! I am pretty sure I got tons of connectors in the diagrams, I had been calling them from diagramLinks, which all gave me valid connectorIds. Please help, cheers!

thanks for the reply, it is good to know. Althought it seems a bit strange element do not have this option, but connectors do.

thanks, I missed that one in the manual, sorry about that. I want to do that to elements too, but it seems there is no api for elements?

« on: September 05, 2010, 07:51:40 pm »

is there a better way to hide connecters in a diagram? I tried to look up the manual, it seems nothing there. My current solution is using shape scripts, which is awful because it only hides the line, but not the arrow and the tag of the connector!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / refreshing Connector on Diagrams?

« on: August 30, 2010, 07:21:37 pm »

I am trying modify the elements and connectors on a particular diagram, and the changes display right after the script is ran for the elements, however not for the connectors.

so after each modification of a element I do:

Code: [Select]

           

theElement.Update();
theElement.Refresh();
theObject.Update();
      
theDiagram.DiagramObjects.Refresh();
theDiagram.DiagramLinks.Refresh();
theDiagram.Update();


however if I do for connectors:

Code: [Select]

theTags.Refresh();
theConnector.Update();
theLink.Update();
      
theDiagram.DiagramObjects.Refresh();
theDiagram.DiagramLinks.Refresh();
theDiagram.Update();
      

and this would not work because the Connector does not have a refresh method.

So the question is, is there any other way to refresh the connector? (currently the connectors on the diagram needed to be clicked in order to be noticed of the change.)

Cheers,
Daniel
