AddDefinedSearches

[Anna]

Hi,

how do i use the Method AddDefinedSearches in the correct way?
I tried it with a filename as used for ImportPackageXMI, but i allways got an error message.

The format of the filename should be ok, i use the same format for ImportPackageXMI and it works fine. The File itself should be ok too, i exported it with "Manage Seaches".

Error:
Code = 0xc00ce556
Source = Line : 1; Char : 1
Error Description = Invalid at the top level of the document.

Code: [Select]

Sub AddDefinedSearchesTest()
    Set rep = GetObject(, "EA.App").repository
    searchstring = "C:\Search.xml"
    rep.AddDefinedSearches searchstring
End Sub

AddDefinedSearches (string sXML)
  
 Enables you to enter a set of defined searches that last in Enterprise Architect for the life of the application. When Enterprise Architect loads again they must be inserted again by your Add-In.

Parameters:

sXML: String - the XML of the defined searches; you can get this XML by performing an export of the searches from the Manage Searches dialog in Enterprise Architect.  

Any Ideas, whats wrong with it?

Thanks!
Anna

The parameter is the XML, not the filename to the XML.
