General Questions/Discussions

Hello,

Is it possible to customize menu for classes to add action like “Generate constructor, copy constructor, destructor”. Do I need to write plugin for this or only modify some XML files?

Hi Aleksei,

Thanks for your post. We can prepare a sample plugin for add/copy constructor and destructor, but may I know whether you are using C++ or C#?

Thanks for your fast reply, Lilian.

I’m using C++, but maybe other people want the same plugin for other languages. It would be great if you add some configurable options like “Visibility for constructor: public, private or protected”, “Visibility for destructor: public, private or protected” and so on to this sample plugin .

Hi Aleksei,

Sorry for my late response. Please find the sample plugin attached below, and follow the following steps to deploy the plugin:

  1. shutdown VP-UML
  2. create a “plugins” folder inside VP Suite installation directory
  3. download the attached zip and unpack it to the plugins folder
  • make sure the structure like “VP Suite/plugins/com.vp.plugin.sample.projectobfuscator/src…”
  1. start VP-UML again

After that, there will be 2 additional menu items “Add Constructor”, “Add Destructor” in popup menu of class.
Please make sure you have configured the programming language of your project to C++. Then you can right-click on a class and select the menu item, it will open the Operation Specification dialog for you to enter details of constructor/destructor. You can refer to attached image as an example.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Best regards,
