9. GUI Reference

In this chapter you will find most of the property dialogs. Where possible a green frame indicates the access via the API. In case of a yellow frame the according field is not addressable with the API directly and a bypass through EA’s tables might be needed. In such cases you might need to have a look into my Inside book.

9.1 Element

Here you find property dialogs that deal with elements. Note that packages also have an element part and share information in the same dialog as for pure elements.

Dockable Properties Window

Referenced by EaElement attributes

Name, Visibility (Scope), Type, Stereotype, Alias, Complexity, Version, Phase, GenType (Language), GenFile (Filename), PackageGUID (GUID; shows Name of package in dialog)
Author, Status, Created, Modified, Keywords, ElementGUID (GUID), Abstract, Multiplicity, IsLeaf, IsSpec (Is Specification), Persistence

For packages the EaPackage attributes for Name, Version, Created and Modified are the same as the shadow attributes in the according element.

The Is Root flag is only available via t_object.IsRoot.
