Create autom. a Class Diagram after a new Package

[marine1981]

Hello,
thank you for your helpful answer. RefreshModelView(0) does work, but it closes the folder tree/folder structure and I don't want this kind of behavior.
I have inserted the package ID(RefreshModelView(PackageID)), too. But this way is not better.  Do you have any idea?

Yes, you can select your package (or the new diagram) again, so it will open the tree again.
Look at Repository.ShowInProjectView (object Item)

THANKS! It does work, now!
My solution:

//Reload Project Browser
Repository.RefreshModelView(0);
//Select new Diagram in the Prjoject Browser
Repository.ShowInProjectView(NewDiagram);

Now, I have got a further problem with the new element in the Project Browser. I create the element with:

Code: [Select]

EA.Element NewElement = (EA.Element)NewPackage.Elements.Add(...);
The program creates the element in th new Package in the Project Browser. But I need the element in the same level like the new package and not under the package. How I can move the element and How I can set the position at the creation in the tree? I have tested with PosTree but without any success. Do you have got any idea?

Thanks

Sven,

In that case you'll have to add the diagram on the parentPackage of the new package.
So you'll have to do something like

Code: [Select]

EA.Package myParentPackage = myRepository.GetPackageByID(myNewPackage.ParentID);
myParentPackage.Diagrams.AddNew(...

Your information was helpful.

I modified you example for a element:

Code: [Select]

EA.Package ParentPackage = Repository. GetPackageByID(NewPackage.ParentID);
EA.Element NewElement = (EA.Element)ParentPackage.AddNew(Convert.ToString(elementName), "UseCase");
NewElement.... = "...";
An it does work!

Thanks

I see a mistake, now. I don't can manual delete the new element in the Project Browser.
Do you have got any reason for this manner?

[Geert Bellekens]

No, try reloading, that might help.

Geert

[marine1981]

Reload without a newstart does not work. First after a new start I can delete the elements. Why?

[Geert Bellekens]

No idea :-/

How I can create a Composition? With:

Code: [Select]

NewConnector = (EA.Connector)NewElement.Connectors.AddnNew("","Composition");
I get with this code only a aggreation and not a Composition.

Thanks

Sven,

You have to set the ConnectorEnd.Aggregation to the value "2" to make it composite.
(by the way, you might want to use regular associations iso aggregations, EA treats them a little different, although in UML the only difference is in the AggregationKind)

Thanks! It does work!
