COM automation not available anymore in whiteStarUML

[Anonymous]

Dear WwhiteStarUML community,

I'm unable to run my scripts, developed using the COM automation library, since the migration from StarUML to WhiteStarUML.
is it normal or do I need to do anything?

thanks

Are your scripts still connecting to StarUML.StarUMLApplication object?

Use WhiteStarUML.WhiteStarUMLApplication, everything else should work without a change. You may also take a look at scripts in \modules\staruml-standard. There are examples in VB and JScript.

Hi Janusz,

thanks for the information but I think there is another issue as this object is not recognised as the WhiteStarUML library is not loaded. is there a dll to use?
fyi i'm using vba tu run the script

thanks

Start checking if integrated scripts are working correctly like Model - Generate Getters/Setters, Convert Diagram, Design Patterns etc. If there is a problem try to re-register the program as admin with command "whitestaruml /regserver" or reinstall the application.

I reinstalled whitestaruml and i can now add the whitestaruml reference in my excel file,
but contrary to staruml, there is only one library "Whitestaruml generator library" but not "whitestaruml library".
so whitestaruml objects are not recognised.

to answer your previous question, code generation works.

any idea?

THANKS

i also tried to run whitestaruml /regserver but no change

WhiteStarUML Generator library refers to the documentation generator plugin. Missing WhiteStarUML Library is the problem. I assume you are using the latest version of WhiteStarUML.

Using regedit try to fing the key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{4D5F69B3-73FC-4C09-A1CE-73D1A677A0E7}

It is defining WhiteStarUML library. Maybe it got corrupted so delete it then try re-running whitestaruml /regserver (as admin).
