Stamps palette questions...

I am using the following command to open the Stamp Palette and I was wondering if there is a way to do the following:
Code: Select all
Me.docPreview.ShowPane("stampsView", Mode)
1. Bring the Stamp Palette form to the front or top most?
2. Also hide the close button (cross button on top right of the pane)?
Thanks
Simon

Hello Simon,
To hide the close button, try this:

As for the pane positioning try playing with this:

Alex,
I am using the following code to hide the close buttons on panes, however I cannot seem to find any Stamp Pane?
Code: Select all
Dim layout As PDFXEdit.IUIX_Layout = Me.docPreview.Inst.MainFrm(2).View.DocViewsArea.Panes.Layout
Dim pane As PDFXEdit.IUIX_Obj = Me.docPreview.Doc.ActiveView.CommentsView.Obj
Dim paneLI As PDFXEdit.IUIX_LayoutItem = layout.GetItem(pane)
paneLI.SetStyle(CInt(PDFXEdit.UIX_LayoutItemStyleFlags.UIX_LayoutItemStyle_NoClose), CInt(PDFXEdit.UIX_LayoutItemStyleFlags.UIX_LayoutItemStyle_NoClose))
Thanks
Simon

Hello Simon,
You will have to distinguish between the panes that belong to the Documents View and to the Main View. Basically this code should have worked, though it does not:
Code: Select all
int nID = pdfCtl.Inst.Str2ID("stampsView");
IUIX_Obj pane = pdfCtl.Inst.MainFrm[0].View.Panes.Active[nID].Obj;
IUIX_Layout layout = pdfCtl.Inst.MainFrm[0].View.Panes.Layout;
IUIX_LayoutItem li = layout.GetItem(pane);
li.SetStyle((int)UIX_LayoutItemStyleFlags.UIX_LayoutItemStyle_NoClose, (int)UIX_LayoutItemStyleFlags.UIX_LayoutItemStyle_NoClose);
I will ask a developer who made it to clear things out.
Cheers,
Alex

Also,
With your code specified, I cannot seem to make the pane topmost, if this is not possible then even to make the pane show an icon in Taskbar would be another solution.
Thanks

Alex,
Your code does work, but only if the Stamp Palette is docked. If you make it a floating dock pane then the code does not work. Just thought I'd mention it so you can relay this to your developer.
Thanks

Hello Simon,
You will have to work through the window's handles - this is how you remove a close button:
Code: Select all
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "GetWindowLong")]
static extern IntPtr GetWindowLongPtr(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex);
public enum GWL
{
GWL_WNDPROC = (-4),
GWL_HINSTANCE = (-6),
GWL_HWNDPARENT = (-8),
GWL_STYLE = (-16),
GWL_EXSTYLE = (-20),
GWL_USERDATA = (-21),
GWL_ID = (-12)
}
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern int SetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex, uint dwNewLong);
private void setNoCloseStyleViaHWNDToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int nID = pdfCtl.Inst.Str2ID("stampsView");
IUIX_Obj pane = pdfCtl.Inst.MainFrm[0].View.Panes.Active[nID].Obj;
while (pane != null)
{
uint hnd = pane.GetFirstWndHandle();
IntPtr p = new IntPtr(hnd);
IntPtr hStyle = GetWindowLongPtr(p, (int)GWL.GWL_STYLE);
int dwStyle = hStyle.ToInt32();
if ((dwStyle & 0x80000000) != 0) //WS_POPUP
{
dwStyle = dwStyle & ~0x00080000; //WS_SYSMENU
SetWindowLong(p, (int)GWL.GWL_STYLE, (uint)dwStyle);
break;
}
pane = pane.Parent;
}
}
As for the topmost - this sample gives you the needed window handle - you will have to use it to achieve the needed window style.
Cheers,
Alex
