MDG_GetProperty

MDG_GetProperty provides miscellaneous Add-In details to Enterprise Architect.

This function is called by Enterprise Architect to poll the Add-In for information relating to the PropertyName. This event should occur in as short a duration as possible, as Enterprise Architect does not cache the information provided by the function.

Values corresponding to these PropertyNames must be provided:

  • IconID - Return the name of a DLL and a resource identifier in the format #ResID, where the resource ID indicates an icon
          c:\program files\myapp\myapp.dlll#101
  • Language - Return the default language that Classes should be assigned when they are created in Enterprise Architect
  • HiddenMenus - Return one or more values from the MDGMenus enumeration to hide menus that do not apply to your Add-In
          if(PropertyName == "HiddenMenus")
