Details |
EA_MenuClick events are received by an Add-In in response to user selection of a menu option. The event is raised when the user clicks on a particular menu option. When a user clicks on one of your non-parent menu options, your Add-In receives a MenuClick event, defined as follows:
Sub EA_MenuClick(Repository As EA.Repository, ByVal MenuName As String, ByVal ItemName As String)
The code below illustrates an example of use:
If MenuName = "-&Diagram" And ItemName = "&Properties" then MsgBox Repository.GetCurrentDiagram.Name, vbInformation Else MsgBox "Not Implemented", vbCritical End If
Notice that your code can directly access Enterprise Architect data and UI elements using Repository methods. . |
