Links Indicators in Layout DXL?

SystemAdmin - Mon Apr 20 07:36:55 EDT 2009

Did a quick hack and this seems to work, but remember that this is not production code, just demonstrator:
 

Object o = obj
Bitmap inlink = null
Bitmap outlink = null
DBE canv = getCanvas
int w = 0
int h = 0
int inNum = 0
int outNum = 0
Link l = null
LinkRef lr = null
 
for l in all o -> "*" do
   {
     outNum++
   }
 
for lr in o <- "*" do
   {
         inNum++
   }
 
if ((!null canv) && ((inNum > 0) || (outNum > 0)))
   {
          if (outNum > 0)
             {
                  outlink = loadBitmap(canv,"C:/Program Files/Telelogic/DOORS_8.3/lib/icons/out.bmp",false,w,h)
                  drawBitmap(canv,outlink,0,0)
             }
          if (inNum > 0)
             {
                  inlink = loadBitmap(canv,"C:/Program Files/Telelogic/DOORS_8.3/lib/icons/in.bmp",false,w,h)
                  drawBitmap(canv,inlink,w,h)
             }
   }

 

As you see from the paths, I tested this on DOORS 8.3. The link pictures are in above directories as ICO files, I saved them as BMP files is the same directory so that loadBitmap works. The background of the BMP files was black, so the end result is not quite correct, but maybe it is possible to modify the colors so that the link triangles look similar as in main column.
