writing an add-in
« on: July 24, 2005, 01:17:24 pm »
Hello everybody !

Is there any way one could write an add-in/plug-in for EA and install it within EA ? Any place to find documentation, interfaces and library details for it ?

Thanks,

Sébastien

First place to look would be in the EA help file, the chapter titled "Automation and Scripting", specifically the sections "The Automation Interface" and "Add-Ins".

There is also a practical example at
http://sparxsystems.com.au/resources/developers/autint_vb.html .

Come back with any questions that the above don't answer.

Hey !

Thank you for your reply. Is there any way to create an add-in if I don't have VB nor Delphi ? I'm using an open-source C++ software development program.

Yes, any language that supports ActiveX COM can be used to write an addin.

There are examples on this forum in C# and Perl among others.
