EA_Connect
Add-Ins can use EA_Connect events to identify their type and to respond to Enterprise Architect start up.
This event occurs when Enterprise Architect first loads your Add-In. Enterprise Architect itself is loading at this time so that while a Repository object is supplied, there is limited information that you can extract from it.
There are two key uses for EA_Connect:
- Initializing global Add-In data, along with identifying the Add-In as an MDG Add-In
- Initializing a Workflow script.
