Enterprise Architect Add-In ConstLayOutStyles usage

Question

Basicly i'm trying to layout a Diagram in Enterprise Architect with newly added DiagramObjects via Add-In.

I found that i should use the LayoutDiagramEx method.

Next step is usage. Here's some code i'm trying to make work:

Repository.GetProjectInterface().LayoutDiagramEx(diagram.DiagramGUID, EA.ConstLayoutStyles.lsCycleRemoveDFS, 4, 20, 20, false);

Visual Studio hints that there is an error:

Interop type 'EA.ConstLayoutStyles' cannot be embedded. Use the applicable interface instead.

I cannot find the problem here sadly.

Does anyone know how to use the ConstLayoutStyles?

Thanks for the tips or the answer in advance!

Hi Instead Try the values directly from below.

Repository.GetProjectInterface().LayoutDiagramEx(treeSelectedObject.DiagramGUID, 0x40000000, 4, 20, 20, false);

In most cases only the default layout will be assigned.

where LayoutStyle is one of the Enum values from below

You can find the constant values in EA. Scripts -> Local Scripts -> EAConstants-JScript\EAConstants-VBScript
