Retrieve Trigger information through C#

[Mateus Dalepiane]

Hello,

I am writing a plugin for EA and I need to retrieve information from Triggers inside a State Machine.

Looping through Elements > States > Connectors, I am able to retrieve a string with the Triggers names. But I need more information, specifically, the Trigger Type and Trigger Specification.

Looping through Elements from the State Machine I am able to find Elements with Type == Trigger, but I don't know how to retrieve the data I need from them.

I just can't find any object on the Automation Interface that can supply me this data.

Does anyone know a way to do this?

Try

Code: [Select]

select description from t_xref where client = <trigger.object_id>That will contain something like

RefGUID={80002AF7-9144-4349-8086-43A967927029};RefName=Signal1;

RefGUID is the guid of the type element.

First of all, thanks for your reply.

Currently I am able to get the Element object that represents the Trigger.
What I am unable to do is to extract the data I need from this Element object. That would be the Trigger Type and Trigger Specification.

Anyway to get this from an Element?

As I told above.

The code you posted seems like an SQL query, but the interface I am using doesn't look like that.
I am using Interop.EA.dll to access data within C#.

Can you explain it a little better?

Sorry, I forgot that this is not obvious. Use Repository.SQLQuery to get a XML formatted result set. The help will have more details about this method.

Thank you very much!
I had no idea of this possibility.
Now I am able to retrieve all information I need.

Have a look in my Inside book. It describes what is under the hood of EA.
