Details |
EA_Connect events enable Add-Ins to identify their type and to respond to Enterprise Architect start up. This event occurs when Enterprise Architect first loads your Add-In. Enterprise Architect itself is loading at this time so that while a Repository object is supplied, there is limited information that you can extract from it. The chief uses for EA_Connect are in initializing global Add-In data and for identifying the Add-In as an MDG Add-In. Also look at EA_Disconnect. |
