Create autom. a Class Diagram after a new Package

[marine1981]

Hello,
i have problem, because this is my first add-in. I write this Add-In in C#.

My problem:
After then I create a new "Package" in the "Project Browser". I want automatically create a new Class Diagram.  Someone have any idea?
I think, i need a Post-Event. But I don't know right the class or the .Net Object.
How I get the ID by the new Package?

Thanks

Sven,

Try EA_OnPostNewPackage
The info parameter contains the package id.

Thanks Geert.  But I have a further question.
How I can create an new "Class Diagram"?

The example: Add and Manage Diagrams
...
package = m_Repository.GetPackageByID(5);
diagram = package.Diagrams.Add("Logical Diagram", "Logical");
...

I don't know the Class from the Object "package"? How I can create the Object package in C#?

Thanks

[Geert Bellekens]

The example seems valid to me.
What do you mean by "I don't know the Class from the Object "package"?
Just look at the operation GetPackageByID. There it says that it will return an EA.Package object, so your variable "package" will need to be of the type EA.Package.

My Example:

Code: [Select]

public virtual bool EA_OnPostNewPackage(EA.Repository Repository, EA.EventProperties Info)
{
EA.Repository Repo1;
EA.Repository TestDiagram;
Repo1 = Repository.GetPackageByID(Info)
TestDiagram = Repo1.Diagrams.AddNew("Logical Diagram","Logical");
}
I can't create a new Diagram because IntelliSense can't find "Diagrams". Where is my logical mistake?

Thanks

Code: [Select]

public virtual bool EA_OnPostNewPackage(EA.Repository Repository, EA.EventProperties Info)
{
EA.Package Repo1;
EA.Diagram TestDiagram;
Repo1 = Repository.GetPackageByID(Info)
TestDiagram = Repo1.Diagrams.AddNew("Logical Diagram","Logical");

Thanks, thats helpful!

Where I can find the definitions of EA.Package, EA.Diagram ...?

[Geert Bellekens]

in the help file.

Geert

[marine1981]

Which helpfile do you mean?

[Geert Bellekens]

the EA help, as in RTFM  

Geert

[marine1981]

EA Help = SDK?
I never find the EA.Package, EA.Diagram, ...  there(I used the search from Acrobat Reader).
I search a Overview with all Classes und a small description on one letter. Do you know somethink like this one?


Thanks and excause me but this is my first Micro-Add-In.

[Geert Bellekens]

Yep,

Search for "Repository" and select the second result. (Repository) If you then go to the Contents tab you'll see all the API classes and their documentation.

Overview on Page 189 in the SDK.

But now I have other question.
How I get the ID from the new Package.

public virtual bool EA_OnPostNewPackage(EA.Repository Repository, EA.EventProperties Info)

Which function do I need? My Idea was:

Code: [Select]

public virtual bool EA_OnPostNewPackage(EA.Repository Repository, EA.EventProperties Info)
{
EA.Package Repo1;
EA.Diagram TestDiagram;
Repo1 = Repository.GetPackageByID(Info/*It's false, because a object*/)
TestDiagram = Repo1.Diagrams.AddNew("Logical Diagram","Logical");
}

From TFM on EA_OnPostNewPackage

Info
 EA.EventProperties
 IN
 Contains the following EventProperty objects for the new package:
PackageID: A long value corresponding to Package.PackageID.  

From TFM on EventProperties:

Get (object Index)
 EventProperty
 Read only. Returns an EventProperty in the list, raising an error if Index is out of range.

Parameters:

Index: Variant - can either be a number representing a zero-based index into the array, or a string representing the name of the EventProperty. For example, Props.Get(3) or Props.Get("ObjectID").  

So I guess you'll have to do something like

Code: [Select]

info.Get("PackageID")to get the packageID.

Geert

[marine1981]

Thats right!
But Info.Get("PackageID") does not work.
I have got a understanding problem with the method get(object Index).
How I use the method Get()?
The example Probs.Get(3) or Probs.Get("Objetct ID").
Is the number 3 equivalent with "ObjectID"?
Is ObjectID a variable, string or an enumeration?
