General Board / Re: Add or delete an element from a diagram

« on: December 30, 2015, 03:55:03 am »

Hi,

Add element to diagram was resolved but the requested element for deletion is not deleted from diagram.
What I see is:
diagram.DiagramObjects.DeleteAt(index,true) does delete the element,
as mentioned above i can see the size of diagramObjects is reduced by 1.
I removed the diagram.DiagramObjects.Refresh().
and run it with and without diagram.Update() API call.
both cases element stays on the diagram.

I also run a test that add a new element to a diagram and it is shown when closing and opening the diagram.
(So diagramObjects are getting refreshed but without the deletion)
Any other ideas?

Sorry for the confusing sample, in my code I use someElement, this was a typo when I created the mail
Anyway I changed the addNew to get the position and still getting this exception:

private addToDiagram(EA.Repository repository,EA.Element someElement)
{
   EA.Diagram diagram = repository.GetCurrentDiagram();
   EA.DiagramObject a = (EA.DiagramObject) diagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew("l=200;r=400;t=200;b=600;", "");
   a.ElementID = someElement.ElementID;
   a.Update(); //The update is throwing an exception
   diagram.Update();
}

For the delete function, i saw that the element was deleted by using the count method but the diagram was not updated in model (with the update and refresh methods)
private deleteFromDiagram(EA.Repository repository,EA.Element someElement)
{
  EA.Diagram diagram = repository.GetCurrentDiagram();
 
  int i = diagram.DiagramObjects.Count; //2
  diagram.DiagramObjects.DeleteAt(1, true); //delete the second element in diagram
   i = diagram.DiagramObjects.Count; //1
   diagram.DiagramObjects.Refresh();
   diagram.Update();
}

The sample code I saw in the forum looks pretty much like mine, but something is still missing...

  I know it should be simple but I am missing something basic here:

For the Add method all I want to do is get an element and put it on the diagram

this simplify what I wrote:
private addToDiagram(EA.Repository repository,EA.Element someElement)
{
   EA.Diagram diagram = repository.GetCurrentDiagram();
    EA.DiagramObject a = diagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew(someElement.Name, someElement.Type);
    a.ElementID = selected.ElementID;
    a.Update(); //The update is throwing an exception
    diagram.Update();
}
In debugger I see the element Id is getting updated, but the Update throws an exception.


For the delete function, all it should do is get element an element which is on the diagram and delete it:
private deleteFromDiagram(EA.Repository repository,EA.Element someElement)
{
  EA.Diagram diagram = repository.GetCurrentDiagram();
  short id = (short)selected.ElementID;
  diagram.DiagramObjects.DeleteAt(id, true); //this line throws an exception for a valid element
  diagram.Update();
}
Again, what is wrong with this delete?

I tried to use those APIs, but none of them work as I expect. I am probably missing something here.

I will use a sample code to be more clear:

For the AddNew API:
EA.Diagram diagram = repository.GetCurrentDiagram();
EA.DiagramObject diagramObj = diagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew("ABC", "Class");
diagramObj.ElementID = someElement.ElementID;
diagram.Update();

For the delete API:
short id = (short)someElement.ElementID;
diagram.DiagramObjects.DeleteAt(id,false);
(This is throwing an exception on an element that is on the diagram)

I think I used them both properly, can you assist me with what is wrong?

Hi,

I have an element that i want to add to a specific diagram through the API.
And I have an element that I want to remove from the diagram.
I could not find an API that does that.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

Thanks,
