EA_OnPostNewElement / GUID in EA.EventProperties?

[mlk]

Is there a possibility to get object GUID directly from
EA.EventProperties info (i.e. "string str = info.Get("GUID").Value;")?


The Get works only for "string str = info.Get("ElementID").Value; ". I've tried with "GUID", "Guid", "ea_guid". Only exception message is "stable" and easy to predict

Rgds,

AFAIK it's only possible to get the EA object related to the event by ID (named 'PackageID', 'ElementID', 'AttributeID', etc.). You can get the GUID using the object instance after a call to Repository.GetPackageByID(), Repository.GetElementByID(), Repository.GetAttributeByID(), etc. accordingly.
You might find this class from Geert Bellekens EA Addin Framework helpful for dealing with event properties: EventPropertiesHelper

Hi,

you can get it with

        public System.Object EA_OnPostNewElement(EA.Repository repository, EA.EventProperties info)
        {
            EA.EventProperty prop = (EA.EventProperty)info.Get(0);
            EA.Element newElement = repository.GetElementByID(int.Parse(prop.Value.ToString()));

Than you have the element defines as EA.Element an can get it's guid with element.elementguid

Regards

Thanks for your replies. I forgot to mention I want to avoid too many interactions with EA.Interop methods, just for performance reason. Thanks.

Now I know that it’s impossible in COM model to get the GUID directly from within EA.EventProperties.
The only way IMHO is to use  EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified(EA.Repository repo, String GUID, EA.ObjectType ot) instead of EA_OnPostNewElement(EA.Repository repo, EA.EventProperties info).
