Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: .NET class library Exporter: Method to generat

« on: October 08, 2003, 10:11:39 pm »

G'day dirc,

We have studied the situation re: .NET and add-ins and have made some EA add-ins more compatible with .NET in the upcoming release (647).

BE SURE TO READ THE HELP FILE.

Re: Minimal code samples.  Yes they are basic at the moment but we knew that users were going to love add-ins so much that we could waste no time getting the feature out.

Currently we are looking into hiding a window, but the new Add-In interface is the way to go if you want seamless integration with EA.

Let me know if it doesn't suit your needs.

I pasted both these examples and they worked fine in VB.net.

Could you tell me the text of the exception?

Does the f:\test\eaauto.eap exist?

SelectedObjects is a collection of diagram objects.

Try

dim DiagramObj as EA.DiagramObject
For Each DiagramObj in pEAR.GetCurrentDiagram.SelectedObjects

If you download the lastest build you'll find that the running table is now supported.

Also, yes, addins let you tap into the current session, and information on their creation may be obtained from the Add-ins topic in the Help file supplied with the download.

I can't read the "error that appears" in your message.

Could you re-post?

>> First I just want to say Thanks to all who is working on this product .

Ta.

>> AddIns have a few methods which can be used only to define and intercept  it. Now is not posibile to track any changes which happened in project. For example will be nice to have some Connection Points  which help to track changes happened to different type of elements , diagram, view, packages … this will make live easy to create a good plug ins.

These are implemented as ordinary methods rather than connection points, but the effect is presumably what you require.


>>  Also will be nice to have a ActiveX which can be used to show diagrams not as image, as a normal functional object ,in this way  EA can be integrated in lots of IDE.

Thanks for the suggestion, we will bear it in mind for the future.
