Methods

  Name Description
Protected method CanDeleteSelectedItems Returns true if the selected items can be deleted. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Protected method CopyModelElementsIntoElementGroupPrototype Copies the collection of ModelElements to the specified IDataObject
Protected method CreateBitmapForClipboard Called on copy or cut to generate a bitmap that can be placed on the clipboard, given a set of shapes, or null to place no bitmap on the clipboard.
Protected method CreateMetafileForClipboard Called on copy or cut to generate a meta file for the Clipboard. The default implementation generates an enhanced metafile.
Public method CreateObjRef Security Critical. Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Protected method DeleteSelectedItems Delete the selected items. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Public method Equals Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetLifetimeService Security Critical. Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Protected method GetMenuCommands Defines the list of menu commands that this CommandSet implements. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Initialize Initialize the command set. Calls GetMenuCommands and caches the result. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Public method InitializeLifetimeService Security Critical. Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Protected method IsAnyDocumentSelectionCompartment True if any of the items in the selection list is a compartment. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Protected method IsAnyDocumentSelectionMoveableHostShape True if any of the items in the selection list is a moveable host shape, which cannot be deleted. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Protected method IsAnyDocumentSelectionUndeletable True if any of the shape items in the selection list cannot be deleted. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Protected method IsCurrentDiagramEmpty True if the diagram has no children. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Protected method IsDiagramSelected True if the diagram is selected. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Protected method IsSingleDocumentSelection True if there is only one selected item on the active document. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Protected method IsSingleSelection True if there is only one selected item on the active document window or tool window. (Inherited from CommandSetLibrary.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone() Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone(Boolean) Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Protected method ProcessOnMenuCopyCommand Copies the selection to the clipboard. Override this method to change the behavior.
Protected method ProcessOnMenuCutCommand Copies the selection to the clipboard and deletes the elements from the model. Override this method to change the behavior.
Protected method ProcessOnMenuPasteCommand Inserts the clipboard content into the model. Override this method to change the behavior.
Protected method ProcessOnStatusCopyCommand Called to determine whether the Copy command should be enabled and visible on a menu. If you override this method, set cmd.Enabled and cmd.Visible.
Protected method ProcessOnStatusCutCommand Called to determine whether the Cut command should be enabled and visible on a menu. If you override this method, set cmd.Enabled and cmd.Visible.
Protected method ProcessOnStatusPasteCommand Called to determine whether the Paste command should be enabled and visible on a menu. If you override this method, set cmd.Enabled and cmd.Visible.
Protected method ResolveExportedShapesForClipboardImages Get the complete set of shapes and links that should be exported to the clipboard, given a set of model elements.
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

When a set of model elements is to be copied to the clipboard, an IDataObject is prepared that contains: an ElementGroupPrototype containing the model elements; a bitmap of the shapes that present the model elements; and an Extended MetaFile of the shapes. The EGP can be used to paste into another DSL, UML diagram, or another application that understands the DSL. The bitmap and EMF versions can be used to paste images of the shapes into other applications such as PowerPoint.
