Edit Attribute via Object Properties Dialog

Mathias Mamsch - Fri Feb 17 09:03:41 EST 2012

I think you need to launch those dialogs on top level otherwise it will not work. Try wrapping your script in a top level context:
 

evalTop_ "#include <myfile.dxl>"

where myfile.dxl is the file that will open the dialog. Maybe that helps, regards, Mathias

Perfect! That seems to work just fine. Thank you!

Now, to my next part; switching to the attributes tab. I've tried using a function like:
 

SetupMainDialog(ATTRIBUTES_TAB)

or

SetupMainDialogForObject(ATTRIBUTES_TAB)

or

SetupMainDialogForObjectProperties(ATTRIBUTES_TAB)

...but to no avail. Any idea what the function is to call this tab?

You could maybe try something like:
 

evalTop_ ("
showSelectedTab(objectPropertiesTabSkip, OBJPROPS_ATTRIBUTES_TAB)
set(theTab, OBJPROPS_ATTRIBUTES_TAB)
")

What DOORS Version are you using? Regards, Mathias

I'm getting the following error:

-R-E- DXL: <standard/object/properties.dxl:458> null Module parameter was passed into argument position 1
Backtrace:
<standard/object/properties.dxl:596>
<standard/object/showProperties.dxl:15>
<standard/object/properties.dxl:596>
<standard/object/showProperties.dxl:15>
<standard/object/properties.dxl:596>

<standard/object/showProperties.dxl:15>
<standard/object/properties.dxl:596>
<standard/object/showProperties.dxl:15>
-I- DXL: execution halted

I've cleared the code that I was playing with and only am trying to include the showProperties.dxl and it shows this error. Even after restart. Not sure what the argument is that I'm passing "null" through.

The above code works only if the object properties is already open. I tested the code only in DOORS 8 but it seems to be running under DOORS 9 without any DXL errors. You need to include those two code lines after your code where you opened the object properties dialog in your include file. You still need to launch the include file with evalTop_. Notice that you might need to have the current Module set before launching the code. Maybe that helps, Regards, Mathias

I realized that it needed to be separate, although I already set some parameter that is returning "null" into the argument. In other words, I'm trying to start over and only use the code:
 

evalTop_ "#include <standard/object/showProperties.dxl>"

...which is where I get the error:

-R-E- DXL: <standard/object/properties.dxl:458> null Module parameter was passed into argument position 1
Backtrace:
<standard/object/properties.dxl:596>
<standard/object/showProperties.dxl:15>

I put the code in incorrectly the first time, and it has shown me this error ever since. I believe I originally ran this code to get the error:

evalTop_ "
#include <standard/object/showProperties.dxl>
showSelectedTab(objectPropertiesTabSkip, OBJPROPS_ATTRIBUTES_TAB)
set(theTab, OBJPROPS_ATTRIBUTES_TAB)
"

I must need to clear a variable or something. It keeps giving me this error even after restart, so I'm stuck at this point until I can clear the error. Thank you for your help Mathias, I appreciate it!

No under DOORS 8 the code works, but in DOORS 9 not any longer. For DOORS 9 you need to do the below. The code before the evalTop_ is a hopefully save way to marshal the current Module to the evalTop context. Hope that helps, regards, Mathias
 

Module mod = current 
 
string mvVer = "moduleVersion (module \"" (fullName mod) "\")" 
if (isBaseline mod) {
    Baseline b = baseline moduleVersion mod
    string sVer = (major b) ", " (minor b) ", \"" (suffix b) "\""
    mvVer = "moduleVersion (module \"" (fullName mod) "\", baseline(" sVer "))"
}
 
 
print mvVer
 
 
evalTop_ "
current = data " (mvVer) "
if (null current Module) halt
showObjectAttributes()
"
