Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) in Cameo Systems Modeler / MagicDraw.

This video demonstrates how to implement and use a Graphical User Interface in Cameo Systems Modeler / MagicDraw. This is useful for simulations for focusing in on specific aspects of your system and highlighting those for demonstration purposes.

Starting to get my head wrapped around this stuff. Thank you.

I have a multi-lined string value that I am trying to get into some UI component. The one that makes the most sense, is the text area, but I cant get it to work at all, and there is no documentation on it. I have it working for labels and text boxes, but I dont see a way to word wrap. Is there any way to do what I am going for?

Hi Jeremy, yes, you can use the “List” option. That will display multi-lined strings.

[@jeremyshaw9415]

@oberley thanks for the response! I have been playing with list as well, and its having the same issue. I tried turning off the horizontal scroll and leaving the vertical scroll always on and as needed, but it only puts a single line, and provides a horizontal scroll bar. Is there an option I am missing? Note: I have verified that the value is broken up in the Variables tab, as i expect (4 lines).

Jeremy, can you explain a bit more about the multi-lined string value? The issue could be the way you have that set up. The way that I know will work is if you have a value property that looks like this on the block… value : String [*] = [A,B,C,D] Is that the same format you have for your value property?

@@brianMoberley So before, i had a value property called PartNumber, and using your example, it was set up like this PartNumber : String = A B C D From your example, it sounds like it does not work like this. I tried setting it up so that Multiplicity is set to *, and now the property looks like yours, but I am getting the same result (displayed on a single line) PartNumber : String [*] = [A,B,C,D] I am assuming what you are guiding me to is setting up an array to be broken into the list. I was searching for how to do this, but this is where my searching stunted.

Jeremy, if you’re able to join the MBSE Discord with this link (invite) it may be a bit easier to talk through since you could share a screenshot etc. let me know if you’re open to that. I’m not quite sure what the issue may be Are you running the simulation or simply looking at the GUI in the User Interface Modeling Diagram? You’ll need to make sure to run the simulation to see the array displayed. discord.gg/AWKJjnUz
