Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to restart the current element from within a QAction. Specifically, I want to evaluate a condition in the QAction, and if the condition is not met, restart the element so the evaluation can be performed again.

Thanks

Hi Jose,

Having a look at the class library, the IDmsElement interface has a method to restart an element:

Method Restart | DataMiner Docs

Hope it helps.

Hi Jose,
I could not find an example in DataMiner Docs for this specific, but I found one to create an element:
https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/devguide/ClassLibrary/ClassLibraryExamples.html
Basically, once you instantiate a IDms object, you could use the method GetElement (https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/api/types/Skyline.DataMiner.Core.DataMinerSystem.Common.IDms.GetElement.html) to retrieve a reference to the element. From there you can use the method 'Restart' to restart the element.
Hope it helps.
