I am using EA Api's "EA_OnPostNewElement" to modify the dropped element from the Toolbox. As soon I drop the element from the toolbox to the diagram, EA properties diaglog is popped up. Even after using 

Repository.SuppressEADialogs = true;

How to suppress the EA diaglog if any Element is dropped from the toolbox ?

  • make sure you are setting that property as soon as the event is fired, if it still doesn't work, I'd count it as a bug, and an important one at that – Mart10 Jun 22 '17 at 12:54
  • You might need to post the event here in case you're doing something you shouldn't we could point out – Mart10 Jun 22 '17 at 12:54
  • I'm not sure, but you might have to return true in the event code after if you don't want the properties dialog to appear( returning true informs EA that you have processed the creation of the element) – Mart10 Jun 22 '17 at 16:56

The documentation says indeed to use Repository.SuppressEADialogs = true; to disable the standard properties dialog to show up.
If that doesn't work you should probably send in a bug report.

But you can also disable that from the general options by disabling the option Objects | Edit Object on New

Then use the event EA_OnContextItemDoubleClicked to show your own properties dialog and return true to let EA know that you have handled the double-click event so it doesn't show the default properties dialog anyway.
