Getting the linked item

[Ibrahim]

I am having hard time to get the elements related links

I have Requirments1 element linked to Use Case1 and Use Case2. I dont see any APIs in VB Add in to get the related links.

Please help me...........

You want Element.Connectors which is a collection of EA.Connector.

I did the same but I am not able to get the related item. Do you have any sample code for the same?

[Eve]

No. I just got the information you needed out of the help file.

Ibrahim,

1) First, you need a reference to the Element you are interested in.
2) Loop over the Element.Connectors collection
3) Check the Connector.ClientID and Connector.SupplierID values.  These are ElementID values for the objects at each end of the connector.  One of these will refer back to your first element, and the other will refer to the related element.
4) With the ElementID obtained above, use Repository.GetElementById() to retrieve a reference to the related element.

In the VB code available from the download page on:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/resources/developers/autint_vb.html
There are a couple routines dealing with this. See Repository.bas - DumpConnections, as well as, RequirementMain.bas - DumpHeirarchy.  These give two different routines of displaying Element- connector relations.
