Difference "Add Element" via Diagram & via Browser

[Jonathan Lubach]

Hi there,

is there a reason why the two "add"-commands

- drag element from toolbox to a diagram
- add element via symbol/context menu in project browser

do behave different.

Why does the dragging onto a diagram evaluates the project template package and the project browser command does not?

Can anybody explain, otherwise for me this would bring up a change request.

Thanks!
Jonathan

The answer is probably EAUI. EA is not very orthogonal.

Okay, so there seems to be no liable reason for this behaviour.

I'll try to do a work-around listening to the EA_OnPostNewElement-event in the automation interface.

Can anybode tell me, where to find the link for the Project Template Package in the .eap-Database? (table name, field name...?)

Thanks!
Jonathan

Code: [Select]

select * from t_package p
join usys_system u on u.Value = p.Package_ID
where property = 'TemplatePkg'

Here's another example where the same function works differently in two places - one of them being the project browser.
