MDG Technology operations

[royvanmarrewijk]

Hi,

I would like to create a profile which contains a stereotype of an operation and I would like to use this operation in a stereotyped class. Can someone tell me how to do this??

With this I would like to know if it is possible to create additional fields in stead of tagged values. So for example I would like to stereotype an operation and add the fields {min value, max value, fraction} and when I create this operation the additional field are shown.

kind regards,
Roy

Hi Roy,


For the second part the answer is no. You can create tagged values, but you can't create other properties and have them displayed in EA's GUI.

The way to achieve this is to implement the additional properties as tagged values, and create your own properties dialogs. This is no small task, but doable.

HTH,

Hi Uffe,

Thanks for your reaction! I think this is a reasonable solution. Do you know where I can find a tutorial or something about creating my own properties dialogs??

Not off hand, sorry. You have to build an Add-In, so start there. Geert Bellekens has a good tutorial on his blog.

You could also have a look at the 3rd-party EA extension eaForms.

I'm not involved with that myself and I haven't used it, but I saw a demo a couple of years ago and it looked very useful. Might suit your needs.

Thanks Uffe,

I will have a look at it.
