BarCode Scanner API

This is just a sample document to demonstrate the ability to link any type of external document into the project. You can actually link any diagram element to any legal URL, even www.borland.com, for example.

To do

• Open the Property Inspector on any Together element that you wish to associate ("hyperlink") a document to.
  • For example, open up the "Make a Sale" Use Case diagram and select the Cashier actor (click on the symbol in the diagram).
  • Press Alt+Enter (or right-click on the actor) and open the Property Inspector (if it isn't already open).
  • Select the Hyperlink tab (next to the Properties tab)
  • Right-click on the URL symbol, select New.
  • If you are connected to the internet:
    • type in something fun like: "http:\\www.borland.com"
  • If you are not on the Internet:
    • Click on the button to the right of the URL text entry field to bring up a file chooser dialog.
    • Navigate to some fun, small, sample file (like a document or an image file). Select a file type that your system knows how to handle so that it shows up in, for example, its own application. Good types to choose include MS Word docs (or RTFs), slide presentations, jpg/png files, and so on. Bad types to choose include anything that executes, only because I don't want any strange side effects for this demonstration <g>.
• Invoke Tools => Documentation => Generate HTML...
• Select docgen options (typically Current Diagram, invoke browser) should be enough.
