Editor UI changes when another window with pdfeditorx is loaded

[chavas]

Hi,

We are using PDFXEditor in two places in our project..as a viewer(see screenshot1.png) and as an editor(see screenshot2.png). There are some custom buttons added to both. Some menu bars are visible in viewer and not in the editor. These work fine as long as both are not open together. If both the windows are open together, the changes made to the UI of the first window are lost when the second is loaded. Pls see the screenshot3.png. Pls guide us how to fix this issue.

Hi Alex,

I read the posts that you mentioned. Looks like there is no resolution to this issue...non in near future. I tried using this -
pdfctrl.Inst.Settings("Docs.AutoSyncDocPanesLayouts").v = False
pdfctrl.Inst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PDFXEdit.PXV_AppPrefsChanges.PXV_AppPrefsChange_Documents)

but does not help. Would it make sense to try different parameters in 'pdfctrl.Inst.FireAppPrefsChanged'
Let me know if I am going in wrong direction. We have used the component extensively in our project and this will cause major problems....

Hello Charu,

You will have to load the layout for each frame separately:

Code: Select all

PDFXEdit.IPXV_MainFrame firstMainFrame = pdfCtl.Inst.MainFrm[0];
PDFXEdit.IPXV_MainFrame secondMainFrame = pdfCtl.Inst.MainFrm[1];

Also, can you please show how are you customizing the command bars right now?

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

We are placing AxPDFXEdit.AxPXV_Control in two different forms (windows) of our project. We are not using same window/form. We work on dotnet -visual studio 2013.
Both windows are loaded separately and controls are also loaded separately. We are not loading multiple editors in same window.
Here is the code to show/hide commandbuttons- we call this code in constructor of the form after InitializeComponent()

Hello Charu,

As you can read in the post link I gave you before:
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 22#p108035
If you call the ipxvInst.ShowCmdBar or uiInst.CmdManager - they are the same for each of the controls practically changing the parameters of the each of the controls at the same time. What you can do is customize each IPXV_MainFrame directly:

Code: Select all

pdfCtl.Inst.LockCmdCustomizationEvent();
PDFXEdit.IUIX_Inst iuiInst = (PDFXEdit.IUIX_Inst)pdfCtl.Inst.GetExtension("UIX");
iuiInst.CmdManager.LockAllPanesUpdates();

PDFXEdit.IPXV_MainFrame firstMainFrame = pdfCtl.Inst.MainFrm[0];
firstMainFrame.View.CmdPaneTop.Hide();
firstMainFrame.View.CmdPaneLeft.Hide();
firstMainFrame.View.CmdPaneRight.Hide();
firstMainFrame.View.CmdPaneBottom.Hide();
PDFXEdit.IPXV_MainFrame secondMainFrame = pdfCtl.Inst.MainFrm[1];
secondMainFrame.View.CmdPaneTop.Show();
secondMainFrame.View.CmdPaneLeft.Show();
secondMainFrame.View.CmdPaneRight.Show();
secondMainFrame.View.CmdPaneBottom.Show();
iuiInst.CmdManager.UnlockAllPanesUpdates();
pdfCtl.Inst.UnlockCmdCustomizationEvent();

Hi Alex,

My apologies....
This line is throwing error...
PDFXEdit.IPXV_MainFrame firstMainFrame = pdfCtl.Inst.MainFrm[0];
firstMainFrame View.CmdBar2(nIDS(barID)).Show()

nIDs is the same enum from your sample project -FullDemo. I want to show/hide command bars like cmdbar_menubar ,cmdbar_standard, cmdbar_file, cmdbar_rotateView, cmdbar_zoom etc.
How do I get IDs of the command bars? I have been using this enum from your sample project....this is the line of code that I wrote before-
pdfctrl.Inst.ShowCmdBar2(nIDS(barID), true)

Hi,

I have been able to find most of the cmdbars...some which I have not been able to find are-

PDFXEdit.IUIX_LayoutItem itm = firstMainFrame.View.Panes.Layout.GetItem(thumb);

PDFXEdit.IUIX_LayoutItem s = firstMainFrame.View.Panes.Layout.GetItem(signs);
s.Show();

Hi Alex,

Need to show/hide these cmd bars too-
cmdbar.pageLayout, cmdbar.docOptions, cmdbar.pageNav

Also need to hide/show individual command buttons like-
Dim newdocfromscan As PDFXEdit.IUIX_Cmd = uiInst.CmdManager.Cmds.Find("cmd.newDocScanner")
newdocfromscan.Hidden = True
newdocfromscan.Offline = True

how do I find command buttons in command panes of mainfrm.

Rgds

[Sasha - Tracker Dev Team]

Hello Charu,

Regarding those cmdbars, you can only show them when the Pages View is available:

Code: Select all

PDFXEdit.IUIX_Obj pagesViewObj = frame.View.DocViewsArea.ActiveDocView.Doc.ActiveView.PagesView.Obj;
System.IntPtr p;
pagesViewObj.Parent.QueryImpl(typeof(PDFXEdit.IUIX_ScrollContainer).GUID, null, out p);
IUIX_ScrollContainer sc = (PDFXEdit.IUIX_ScrollContainer)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(p);
sc.CmdBar("cmdbar.pageLayout").Show(); // Hide()

As for the commands, you will have to take individual IUIX_CmdItem from the needed bar and use IUIX_CmdItem::Show.

Have you tried this?

Code: Select all

Cheers,

[chavas]

Hi Alex,

I had tried this..but did not work. So I created a sample application for you...and it worked in sample..!!!!!
So I realized, if I remove these lines..it would work...
pdfctrl.LockedCmdBars = True
pdfctrl.VisibleScrollbars = True
pdfctrl.Inst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PDFXEdit.PXV_AppPrefsChanges.PXV_AppPrefsChange_Documents)

so menu bar issue is resolved...

Another issue is show/hide some custom command buttons...I have added some custom buttons in "cmdbar.file"
I want to show/hide them conditionally..this is the code I have written...but not working-
Dim filecmdbar As PDFXEdit.IUIX_CmdBar = pdfctrl.Inst.MainFrm(MainFrmCntforEditor - 1).View.CmdBar("cmdbar.file")

If filecmdbar IsNot Nothing Then
Dim cmdsaveasViewer As PDFXEdit.IUIX_CmdItem = filecmdbar.FindFirstItemByCmdName("cmd.Save_As")
If cmdsaveasViewer IsNot Nothing Then
cmdsaveasViewer.Cmd.Offline = True
cmdsaveasViewer.Cmd.Hidden = True
End If
end if
MainFrmCntforEditor is my count of mainfrms..
I also tried cmdsaveasViewer.show(false). If I load two windows one by one, the setting of last window overwrites that of first window.
Pls guide ...

Alex,

I get error with .Delete...
cmdpaste.delete- 'delete' is not a member of 'PDFXEdit.IUIX_Cmd'.

I also tried this-
Dim ipastepos As Integer = pdfctrl.Inst.MainFrm(mainfrmCntViewer - 1).View.MenuBar.FindFirstItemByCmdName("cmd.edit").SubMenu.FindFirstItemByCmdName("cmd.paste")
pdfctrl.Inst.MainFrm(mainfrmCntViewer - 1).View.MenuBar.FindFirstItemByCmdName("cmd.edit").SubMenu.DeleteItem(ipastepos)

Hello Charu,

Please read my code more carefully and see the type used there (it's not the IUIX_Cmd).

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

I have not been able to get IUIX_CmdItem by doing this-
pdfctrl.Inst.MainFrm(mainfrmCntViewer - 1).View.MenuBar.FindFirstItemByCmdName("cmd.edit").SubMenu.FindFirstItemByCmdName("cmd.paste")

See the attached screenshot and give me code to hide Undo/redo buttons and cut/copy/paste buttons in my Viewer screen.
I need to show these buttons in my Editor screen but hide them in Viewer.
I read your code but was unable to get these buttons as IUIX_CmdItem .
Pls treat this as most urgent

Rgds
Charu

[Sasha - Tracker Dev Team]

Hello Charu,

Here are the steps to solve your problem:
1) Open the End-User Editor and right click on any command bar.
2) Try disabling different toolbars to find out where are the command items that you want to hide.

3) When you know this, look at my code and fill the gaps with the needed ID's.

Code: Select all

IUIX_CmdItem ci = firstMainFrame.View.CmdBar["YOUR COMMAND BAR ID"].FindFirstItemByCmdName("COMMAND ID IN THE COMMAND BAR");
ci.Delete();

As for the Right-Click menu, here's the topic on how to modify it:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/forum3 ... 66&t=26300

If you do all of this step by step you will achieve what you need. Note that we won't do custom coding for you as this exceeds a support limits.

Hi Alex,

Thank you for the idea of using end user pdf editor for finding menus...I am now working with that...

[Sasha - Tracker Dev Team]

[chavas]

Hi Alex,

I have decided not to show context menu in one of my windows. Here is the code that I wrote-
Private Sub pdfctrl_OnEvent(sender As Object, e As AxPDFXEdit._IPXV_ControlEvents_OnEventEvent) Handles pdfctrl.OnEvent
If (e.nEventID = nIDS(IDS.e_beforeShowContextMenu)) Then
e.pEvent.Handled = True
End If
End Sub
I have registered the event-
Me.eventbeforeShowContextMenu = Me.pdfctrl.Inst.Str2ID("e.beforeShowContextMenu", False)
pdfctrl.EnableEventListening2(Me.eventbeforeShowContextMenu, True)

My issue is that when I hide it in one window(myviewer), it is hidden in the other too (myEditor). Both the windows are open together at a time.
I wrote the same code with e.pEvent.Handled = false in myeditor window, but does not work
...Any ideas..how to fix this.

Hello Charu,

Well, in your case you can use the ActiveMainFrm or ActiveMainView property to see what frame or view is active - that is a way to distinguish them.
