Suggestions and Requests / Re: Set label visibility for all connectors

« on: April 08, 2009, 04:50:31 pm »

In the automation interface, DiagramLink.IsHidden should be the property you need (I've never tried it out, though).

Thanks for your quick response. I don't think the DiagramLink.IsHidden is what I am looking for, I want to be able to hide specific labels for every connector, not hide the complete connector, e.g. hide the middle bottom label on every connector.

Edit:
Ah, I found it, but the way to use it is not really nice. There's a Geometry field in DiagramLink as well, it's a string member, with semicolon separated values in it. With some ugly search and replace actions, I could get this running, but the code wouldn't be very elegant...

Suggestions and Requests / Set label visibility for all connectors

« on: April 08, 2009, 03:57:42 pm »

Am I missing something? I tried searching the forum and help but couldn't find anything about the following:

I would like to be able to set the label visibility for all connectors on the current diagram at once, or be able to access the label visibility in the automation interface.

In the data model view, EA adds a lot of labels to connectors when creating relationships, sometimes I just want to hide some labels for every connector for a better overview when printing for example.

General Board / How to use qualified collection classes?

« on: March 11, 2009, 07:24:05 pm »

Is it possible to define a qualified collection class in a similar way to the ordered collection class? Like with the #TYPE# keyword?

Example: define a dictionary of words, each entry is identified by the word it is defining and points to the explanation of that word. Now in C++ I could represent the dictionary as a map<string,string>, in C# it's even explicitly called a dictionary: System.Collection.Generic.Dictionary<string,string>.

Is there a way to represent a solution like this in EA using qualified relationships?
