Chapter 7 Scripting PowerDesigner

Preparing for OLE automation

To use OLE Automation to communicate with PowerDesigner, you need to:

• Create an instance of the PowerDesigner Application object
• Prefix all global functions with the PowerDesigner Application object
• Release the PowerDesigner Application object before exiting the program
• Specify objects type whenever possible (Dim obj As <ObjectType>)
• Adapt the object class ID syntax to the language when you create object
• Add references to the object type libraries you need to use
