---|---|---|
BackgroundColor |
Long Notes: The background color of the object on the diagram. Set to -1 to re-set to the default color in the model. |
|
BorderColor |
Long Notes: The border line color of the object on the diagram. Set to -1 to re-set to the default color in the model. |
|
BorderLineWidth |
Long Notes: The border line width of the object on the diagram. Valid values are 1 (narrowest) to 5 (thickest); a default of 1 is applied if an invalid value is passed in. |
|
Bottom |
Long Notes: Read/Write The bottom edge position of the object on the diagram. Enterprise Architect uses a cartesian coordinate system, with {0,0} being the top-left corner of the diagram. For this reason, Y-axis values (Top and Bottom) should always be negative. |

String Notes: Lists the stereotypes to hide on the object on the diagram. |
|
FontBold |
Boolean Notes: Get or Set the status of the object text font as Bold. |
|

String Notes: The name of the font used for the object text. |
|
FontSize |
String Notes: The size of the font used for the object text. |
|
FontUnderline |
Boolean Notes: Get or Set the status of the object text font as Underlined. |
|
InstanceGUID |
String Notes: The instance GUID for the object on the diagram (the DUID). |

ObjectType Notes: Read only Distinguishes objects referenced through a Dispatch interface. |
ObjectType |
Right |
Long Notes: Read/Write The right edge position of the object on the diagram. |
|
Sequence |
Long Notes: Read/Write The sequence position when loading the object into the diagram (this affects its Z order). The Z-order is one-based and the lowest value is in the foreground. |
|

|
ShowConstraints |
Boolean Notes: Show constraints for this object on the diagram. |
|
ShowFormattedNotes |
Boolean Notes: Show any formatting applied to the notes, for this object on the diagram. ShowNotes must be True for the formatted notes to be displayed. |
|
ShowFullyQualifiedTags |
Boolean Notes: Show fully qualified Tagged Values for this object on the diagram. |
|
ShowInheritedAttributes |
Boolean Notes: Show inherited attributes for this object on the diagram. |
|

|
Style |
Variant Notes: Read/Write The style information for this object. Returns a semi-colon delimited string that defines the current style settings. Changing a value will completely overwrite the previously existing value, so caution is advised to avoid losing existing style information that you want to keep. See Setting the Style. |

Setting the Style
The Style attribute contains various settings that affect the appearance of a DiagramObject. However, it is not recommended to directly edit this attribute string. Instead, use either the SetStyleEx method or one of the individual DiagramObject attributes such as BackgroundColor, FontColor or BorderColor.For example, the Style string might contain a series of values in a format such as:
BCol=n;BFol=n;LCol=n;LWth=n;
where:
- BCol = Background Color
- BFol = Font Color
- LCol = Line Color
- LWth = Line Width
The value assigned to each of the Style color properties is a decimal representation of the hex RGB value, where Red=FF, Green=FF00 and Blue=FF0000.
This code snippet shows how you might change the style settings for all of the objects in the current diagram, changing the background color to red (FF=255) and the font and line colors to yellow (FFFF=65535):
