Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Execute sql query from javascript in scripter

« on: April 12, 2010, 04:47:30 pm »

Hi,

I want to execute a sql inline query from the script(preferbly javascript) provided by EA. I tried connecting to DB from javascript in a webpage(using asp.net) and it works fine.

However, if i try to run the same script under scripter it is not working.
It says ActiveXObject is not defined.
Can't I create a ActiveXObject in script (in EA) ?

Please guide.
Thanks.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Invoke addin from Propeties of an element

« on: March 22, 2010, 06:35:45 pm »

Hi,

I am developing a addin and the requirement is to Invoke addin from the properties which appears inside the context menu. What I mean is:

1. Right Click on an element(for e.g. a screen) in a diagram.
2. A popup opens up.
3. On click of properties, properties of the element opens up and user can see the properties of the element.
4. My requirement is: Open  addin when user clicks on properties instead of native properties dialog which is opened by EA. In the addin I will add a button(along with other funcitonality) something like "Open EA properties/UML".

Is this possible by addins?

Please guide.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / EA crashes on saving element in Diagram

« on: February 17, 2010, 12:39:01 am »

Hi,

I am facing a unusal problem. I have developed an addin which is invoked when user drags and drops an element on the diagram.

If the diagram has some unsaved changes and I drop for e.g. a screen on the diagram, add some UI elements in the screen using addin and save the changes. On close of the addin the EA prompt a message something like "An error log has been generated. EA needs to close now".

Any idea why this occurs??
Please help. Its urgent.

Thanks.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Package and element

« on: August 24, 2008, 09:25:52 am »

Hi,

I am realatively new to EA. I want to update lets say a diagram in EA through c#. At the time of updating i do not know that the source elment(which contains the diagram) will be a package or a elment. Do i need to handle these cases differently. What if i access element by id and just update the diagram. What is the difference beween package.Diagram and package.Element.Diagram ?

Please guide.
Thanks.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Default value of tagged value not retrieved in c#

« on: June 25, 2008, 04:35:52 pm »

I have added a tagged value of type enumeration having values("New","Changed","None") and default value = "New". When I add a new element in EA; default value ("New") of the tagged value is correctly displayed in the textbox. But when I try to retrieve this value in my addin using c# the default value is not getting retrieved.
However if the user changes the default value in EA it is correctly retrieved in the code.
The code I am using for retrieving the tagged value of an element is:

(element.TaggedValues.GetByName("Change in Release") as TaggedValue).Value.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in EA?
Please guide.
Thanks.
