Hi to all suffering from the thorns of Rose!
I am trying to use scripting to reposition messages in a sequence diagram.
I am trying to move the messages on Y axis (bring them higher up), but Rose behaves
strangely.
It seams that the following adds the new value instead of setting it (?!)
print aMessage.Yposition // will print 416
aMessage.Yposition = 200 //
print aMessage.Yposition // will print 624 !!!!
the .Yposition property will not accept negative values, so whatever one does the
message will move down instead of up.
Is that a bug or do I do something wrong?
thanks for any help and ideas.

PS. For anyone curious to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a new model
2. make a new sequence diagram
3. add two objects
4. draw a message between the two objects
5. select the package that contains the diagram in the browser
6. select the message in the sequence diagram.
7. run the following script:
Sub Main
Dim newSequenceDiagram As ScenarioDiagram
Dim TheSelectedCategory As Category
Dim cardinality As Integer
Dim newY As Integer
viewport.open
viewport.clear
Set TheSelectedCategory =
RoseApp.CurrentModel.GetSelectedCategories().GetAt(1)
cardinality = TheSelectedCategory.ScenarioDiagrams.count
If cardinality >0 Then
Set newSequenceDiagram =
theSelectedCategory.ScenarioDiagrams.GetAt(1)
For i = newSequenceDiagram.ItemViews.count To 1 Step -1
If ((newSequenceDiagram.ItemViews.GetAt(i).IsSelected) ) Then
newY = newSequenceDiagram.ItemViews.GetAt(i).Yposition /2
Print "original:
",newSequenceDiagram.ItemViews.GetAt(i).Yposition ,
Print "new : ",newY
Set newSequenceDiagram.ItemViews.GetAt(i).Yposition =
newY
newSequenceDiagram.ItemViews.GetAt(i).Invalidate 'To
redraw
newSequenceDiagram.Invalidate' To redraw
Print "new values:
",newSequenceDiagram.ItemViews.GetAt(i).Yposition
End If
Next i
End If
End Sub
