Display Sub-Feature Information on Analyze Dialog


When analyzing a feature that contains sub-features, OpenComms will display the information of the main feature in the ‘Analyze’ dialog box:

   

In order to display the information of the sub-feature(s), the methods.xml file must be edited. This file is located by default in the C:\Program Files\Bentley\Communications CONNECT Edition\OpenCommsDesigner\XML folder:

    

  Right click on the methods.xml file and edit it. When the file opens in Notepad, click on Edit>Find and type analyze in the ‘Find what:’ field and click Find Next:

    

After locating the MethodGroup name=’Analyze’ paragraph (see above), go to the 4th line down and edit the line that reads:

           <parameter name=”loadType”>rootXmlOnly</parameter>  

Change the rootXmlOnly phrase to allXml so that the edited line will read:

          <parameter name=”loadType”>allXml</parameter>  

 

After making the change, save the methods.xml file and restart the OpenComms session. When the user analyzes a feature that contains sub-features, the sub-feature information will display, in the same dialog that displays the information for the main feature (see below):
