[gme-users] Calling 'MGA.Interpreter.MetaGME2Uml' Programatically

[Feng Shi]

There is a command line version of metagmetouml:

MetaGME2UML <MetaGME filename> <UML filename>

Hope it helps for you.

Thanks,
Feng

Programatically

GME Users,

I am attempting to invoke the 'MGA.Interpreter.MetaGME2Uml' interpreter
via
COM automation (i.e. in headless mode).  A copy of my failing VB script
is
provided at the bottom of this email.  

I was expecting to receive a dialog interrogating me about the desired
output MGA filename, which would be a separate problem for a GUI-less
mode
of operation.  Instead, I am getting generic 

  catch(...)
  {
  AfxMessageBox("An application error has occured in component " 
	+ compname + ".\n"
	"The system might not be in a stable state any more.\n"
	"Please save your work and restart the GME.");
  } 

type error messages.  Any insights about how to accomplish such a thing?
Barring that, where would I find the source code for that interpreter?
I've
poked and prodded a bit, but I think maybe I'm looking in the wrong
place
for this interpreter's sources.  


Thanks Much,
  Chris
