Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Get EA main window handle or PID of running EA

« on: April 30, 2011, 10:24:29 pm »

Hello,

For specific reasons I need to get window handle to main EA window, that shows up after using Repository.ShowWindow() function.

I could do this by calling FindWindow() or GetForegroundWindow() from WinAPI, but this would cause problems if more instances were running (or windows with similar titles).

I wanted to know if there is some built-in way to retrieve the window handle (or at least process ID) of the current EA process started by Automation Interfaces.

If there is not a way to do this, I would like to hear suggestions of possible workarounds.

I am looking forward for your replies,

Markos

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / How to 'Generate DDL' from Automation Interface

« on: April 19, 2011, 06:24:03 pm »

Hello,

I am writing command line tool that will allow me to export/import documentation and source code from a project.

I have been quite successful so far, I was able to reproduce most functions under "Documentation" and "Code Engineering" menus, however I had no luck finding functions for:

Code Engineering:
- Generate DDL
- Import DB schema from ODBC
- Generate WSDL
- Import WSDL

Documentation:
- Glossary

I hope there are methods that I missed, rewriting all of these functions from a scratch would be a waste of time.

I am using Enterprise Architect 8.

Thanx in advance
