More info on GetElementsByQuery

[sandeep bhat]

Hi,
There is this method from the Repository Class GetElementsByQuery (string QueryName, string SearchTerm).

i want to find an Element object with its name 'sint16'.
By default this query- GetElementsByQuery ("Simple", "sint16") returns a collection witth the string sint16 contained in either name or notes. I want to filter this query only if it matches the name.

You could write your own SQL search:

Code: [Select]

SELECT t_object.ea_guid AS CLASSGUID, t_object.Object_Type AS CLASSTYPE,t_object.Name FROM t_object WHERE Name = "<Search Term>"

Thanks q, by  the way is the Enterprise Architect Database accessible? Any location where it is saved?

Yes. Use Repository.SQLQuery("SELECT...") (see the help). You might also be interested in my Inside book (link below).
