Hello Don,
If I had to do this, here is how I would do it :
First of all, all the fields you need must be accessible as diagram properties (you can eventually create calculated metaAttributes on the metaClass diagram to have the information you need accessible)
Then, and this is the complicated part, you will have to create a specific .mgs shape for diagram that will represent your title box, including all the metaAttributes you need.
Of course, you need to make sure that diagram metaclass can be inserted in the kind of diagrams you are interested by (according to the kind of diagram, you might need a metamodel extension)
And then, I would use a specific macro to add the diagram into itself to obtain the title box at the diagram creation.
It will either be :
- a macro with the DiagramPostCreationRun sub, macro linked to the correct DiagramTypeZoom via the "PostCreation Macro" Association (in this case this macro will be launched at diagram creation only if the "Diagram initialization" box is checked)
- a macro with the OnLoadDrawing Sub, that will be launched each time the diagram is opened (even if the "Diagram initialization" box is not checked) --> you'll then need to add a condition to insert your title box only at creation.
For example :
Set myDiag = oDrawing.Object
If datediff("s",myDiag.getProp("date de creation"), now) < 10
.........
End If

Lionel
