Suggestions and Requests / Adding "Override Implementation" to cont

« on: June 08, 2004, 06:22:44 am »

Hi!

Is that possible to add "Override implementation" menuitem of the "Elements" menu to the class's context menu too after the Class properties (like in the elements menu) item?

If yes, when?  

It should be very useful thing from the user experience perspective.

Thanks,
Attila

General Board / renaming a realized interface's method...

« on: June 08, 2004, 06:28:53 am »

Hi!

Create an interface, and add some operations to it: foo, bar mark them pure and virtual.
Add a class, which implements this interface and all the two methods.

After this point there are NO relationship exists between the interface's foo, bar method and the class's overridden foo, bar method, and if I rename the foo method in the interface it will not get reflected in the classes which ones already implemented this interface.


Is it a bug or by design?

This is a thing which needs some correction, is this possible?

Thanks,
Attila

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: How to create a BLANK EA model?

Hi!

Now it's clear what did you mean! :-)

So from this:

- From a programmer's perspective there should be a program setting that which one is you default base model (which can be customized for company profiles :-))
- If the previous setting exists there is a real cause for the New () method in the UI and in the automation model too :-)

Thanks,
Attila

What about if I'm using EAP files and not SQL?

What do you mean under corporate profile?

Yes, I figured this out....but it is a "hack", and not EA supported....

I check out the database (the EAP file), and there are some data which should be included in a "blank" EAP file like datatypes.

EA should have an "internal" database which contains only this tables, and have an automation method like NewModel, because now you can get a Repository, and you must call LoadFile or LoadFile2 to begin your work.

If you develop an external tool then you can't depend on an external file if you like to build a model from scratch.

I hope Geoffrey will read this   and will make the neccessary steps :-)

Thanks,

Hi!

How may I able to create a blank EA model?

No base types, no packages, nothing...just a blank database...

Thanks,

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: configuration for C#

Install the SDK on an XP and copy it onto the NT4 box and run :-)

Any problems with this approach?

Hi!

What do you mean on NT based systems ?

You only need to generate this DLL once...then use it...

Please describe your problem in more detail.

Thanks,

Hi!

You need to run TLBIMP tool which will generate a .Net Interop Assembly for EA's type library.

TLBIMP can be found in the free .Net Framework SDK

Here is a sample commandline:

C:\SDK\v1.1\Bin\TlbImp.exe EA.tlb

It will generate EA.dll which can be added to your C# project and you can use it without any problems.

Thanks,
