Per on line help for GetActiveDiagram,
Set theDiagram = theModel.GetActiveDiagram ()
where type is, theDiagram As Diagram, not ClassDiagram
Take note that a script using the GetActiveDiagram
method or GetSelected means that you must launch this script
from a menu item in Rose. You cannot run this script from a
script window because if you try to do so the script window
will be the active window.
To launch this script from a menu selection you will need to
modify the rose.mnu file (located in Rose's home directory
--- location of rose.exe) and add an option to run your script.
For example, to execute a script called "myscript.ebx" and add
a menu item "RUN MY SCRIPT", the following 4 lines of code
was added to rose.mnu under the Tools heading:
option "RUN MY SCRIPT"
{
RoseScript $SCRIPT_PATH\myscript.ebx
}
------------------------------------------------------------------
Menu Tools
{
Separator
option "Class Wizard..."
{
enable %model:writeable
RoseScript $SCRIPT_PATH\cwizard.ebx
}
option "RUN MY SCRIPT"
{
RoseScript $SCRIPT_PATH\myscript.ebx
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------------
$SCRIPT_PATH pathmap by default is the location of rose.exe.
See online help regarding Pathmaps for more information.
You could also hard code the path if desired.
Here's a short example script showing use of,
'add note with text to current (active) diagram GetActiveDiagram()
Sub Main
Dim diag As Diagram
Dim note As NoteView
Set diag = RoseApp.CurrentModel.GetActiveDiagram()
If diag Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No active diagram"
Exit Sub
End If
qName$ = "TEST"
Set note = Diag.AddNoteView(qName$, 2)
note.YPosition = 200
note.XPosition = 1000
MsgBox "Done"
End Sub
