Improvements included in iFix002 for Rhapsody users
Rhapsody API - accessing data from specific cells in tables
New methods have been added to IRPTableView and IRPMatrixView for:
- getting the elements from a specific cell
- getting the string from a specific cell (for cells containing model elements, the string returned is a comma-separated list of the element names)
- getting the number of rows in the table/matrix
- getting the number of columns in the table/matrix
In addition, in tables that use the Rhapsody API to customize cell behavior, the getter, setter, and picker methods now include arguments that represent the column number and row number for the cell.
Rhapsody API (COM version only) - method IRPPort.PortContract replaces IRPPort.Contract
Beginning with 8.3.1 iFix002, if you use Rhapsody API applications that include calls to the method IRPPort.Contract, all calls to that method must be replaced by calls to the method IRPPort.PortContract. Note that this is relevant only for applications that use the COM version of the Rhapsody API.
iFix002 for Rhapsody 8.3.1 includes the following fixes, which were included in iFix001.
