[CS4] - Document window moving

Hello, I am porting my Plug-in from CS3 to CS4 and I am solving problem how to move IDocumentPresentation which is Float() to [x,y] position.
Thank you, marxin

From the Menu Bar (TOP) Try WINDOW>Application Frame (instead of Application Bar). Resize your "Frame" to your liking and when you create a new document the same size should come up.

Why wont panel float into ID CS4 document window?

I have a strange situation arise in last several weeks. The toolbar and the panels will float but grey out when over the document window. If released they disappear and can be found on the Windows screen, not in the ID window where they should be. Panels will expand OK but its very frustrating not to be able to place them on the document window. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and ID has been updated to 6.0.5. Interestingly I downloaded the trial version of Design Suite 5 Premium and installed it. InDesign 5 is dispalying the same errors - I assume it picked up the plug-ins and preferences from ID CS4?
Any ideas or solutions anyone?

Thanks Peter
I'll play around with the monitors. I have two monitors both running at native resolution (one 24" Samsung (1900 x 1200) and a 19" HP (1280 x 1024) set as an extended desktop. As far as I know no settings for them have changed but I'll try going back to a single monitor.
As the problem does not exist on the other programs (Photoshop, Illustrator) that float panels it seems to be something in InDesign's coding is causing the problem and maybe reacting with video settings. Strange as I have used InDesign CS4 since it was released with no problem up until a few weeks ago.
If I create two document windows and float one off onto the other monitor then the toolbar and panels can be transferred onto the document on the 2nd monitor no problem but 'fall through' the document remaining in the program! By clicking reset Advanced Workspace they are recovered.
I tried to uninstall CS4 but the uninstall program hangs so I have to work out why?
Thanks for your help - I am sure the answer lies out there somewhere

[JS, CS4] Document window resizing

Hello all
Having trouble re-sizing the main document window with the below script fragment. Used to work perfectly in CS3. In CS4, if the document window is maximised and then the script is run, it works: it makes the window smaller. If the doc window is smaller than the maximum size and the script is run, it maximises the doc window: it doesn't make it the size specified in the script. In other words, every second time the script is run it works; the other times, it maximises the doc window. Have tried using smaller values for the win size, but doesn't matter what the values are.
Any idea what's going wrong? It's a bit of an annoying glitch for me ...
===
const left = 0; const top = 50; const right = 200; const bottom = 200;
win = doc.layoutWindows[0];
var bounds = win.bounds;
bounds[0] = top; bounds[1] = left; bounds[2] = bottom; bounds[3] = right;
win.bounds = bounds;
===
I've tried making the above variable win point to app.activeWindow instead -- still doesn't work.
Hope someone can help...
Paul

Don't know why, your code seemed very similar to mine
Paul, its your code.
I have just added one condition
if (win.bounds != top+ "," + left + "," + bottom + "," + right)
if window bounds not equal to which one you want then below code execute
win.bounds = [top, left, bottom, right];
else nothing change with window bound.

CS4 document window not showing

I have been running Indesign CS happily for the past year on a 13" macbook pro with Leopard. I just bought a brand new 15" macbook pro with Snow Leopard. Now if I open a file I need to minimize or expand the window to see a document. Also if I want to have multiple documents open the other tabs are visible at the top but not the window containing the document. I have trashed the preferences several times now. Sometimes it works for a little bit then stops. I really do not want to upgrade to CS5 yet. Any help is much appreciated.

You have a couple invalid formatted comments on the page which could be causing display issues for your "Title Starts Here" type of comments. The comment tag is only . I think those extra hyphens "-" might be causing an issue with the Design View and confusing Dreamweaver. Additionally in your footer, you have 2 open tags but only one closing tag. That needs to be fixed as well. It looks like the one around the address portion is missing, copyright seems fine.
Lastly, you have some CSS errors in that document, but those shouldn't be causing the issue you are describing although they could cause browser issues that you may want to look into.

How can one resize a inDesign Document Window without moving Document's position?

I've searched high and low for an answer to this habit that inDesign has. Am I the only one that finds this annoying?
You go to adjust the size of your document window to move it out of the way to get to something else on your desktop, and instead of keeping the document in place and just resizing the window, it moves the document with the resize. Not sure if I'm putting this in a way that people can understand me. Say I have two inDesign files open side by side and I zoom in on an area and adjust my view of the page. Then I go to the other inDesign document and adjust the view by grabbing the bottom right hand corner of the window and moving it to where I want it. The whole document then moves with it! I desire it not to, so now I have to waste time by using the hand tool to move it back into place. Illustrator doesn't act like this. Photoshop doesn't act like this. Only inDesign. Does this harken back to the PageMaker days? Am I missing a preference somewhere I need to change? Or is it just the way of things and I'm stuck with it?

Hi,
The simplest would be to set the application preferences in the script.
Like this :
-- *** set prefs ****
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
      activate
      set oldPrefs to its preferences
      copy oldPrefs to tPrefs
      tell tPrefs
            set old version warning to false --doesn't show the old version warning alert
            set converted file suffix to true -- append “[v6.0]” to documents converted from older formats
            set locked file warning to false
            set paint reduction warning to false
      end tell
      set preferences to tPrefs
end tell
-- *** end set prefs ****
--**** your script, example ***
set tfiles to choose file with multiple selections allowed
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
      repeat with i in tfiles
            open i
            tell front document
                  -- do something
            end tell
      end repeat
end tell
--**** end your script ***
-- *** reset prefs ****
tell application "AppleWorks 6" to set preferences to oldPrefs

CS4 auto resize document window?

In CS3, the document window abutted the palette (panel) stack and expanded automatically when I collapsed the stack. How do I make CS4 (Windows XP) do this?

None of the suggestions so far make CS4 do what I could do by selecting Maximum Screen mode in CS3. I have the stack of panels against the right edge of the screen and it collapses mostly to the left. The document window and the stack have no effect on each other.
I think I have to dock the stack to the right edge, but I don't know how to make it happen. As I mentioned, the CS3 screen mode that did it is missing from CS4.

Adobe Mastersuite CS4 - Concerned About Moving To Windows 8.1

I have Adobe Mastersuite CS4 on Windows XP and it works just fine for my needs. Since Microsoft has discontinued support of Windows XP I am moving to Windows 8.1. Right now I simply don't have the money to upgrade my suite and from a functional point of view the one I have works just fine for my needs. Do I need to do anything at all to continue using my software on Windows 8.1?
Thanks in advance,
Ivan

It's untested and unsupported but give it a try and see.
If you have issues you can try running it in compatibility mode but at when
all is said and done, you're on your own.

Dragging Document Windows - (Always On Top)?

PS CS4 - latest
A few times, I've dragged a document window over(on top of) a set of panels (layers,channels, etc). Once I let go of the mouse, the title bar of that window (the draggable bar) is placed behind the panels (I'm in standard screen mode). Most of the time this isn't an issue, and probably because I've never dragged a small enough document window over a panel set for this to be an issue worth asking about (all times before, the document window was wide enough to extend out behind the panel(s), so I was still able to click on the title bar. So, after moving this small window and letting go of the mouse, the title bar is completely hidden behind the panel. I know I can move the panels around and/or minimize the panels, but I'm wondering if there is a setting where you can have your document windows (always on top) of other panels?

If you loose a window behind your panels just hit the tab key which hides all tool bars and panels, drag out your window and hit tab key to make your tools/panels visible again. Panels will always be on top of windows.

When I try to open any kind of links, the page first shows me "the document has moved" and then goes on to some advertisement page.

When I follow any kind of links or try to open something in another window or new tab, the browser first shows the white page with text "the document has moved", and then moves to advertisement page of some sort. Usually in the small box where the page description is it says "Jump". I don't know how to disable it, it is really irritating.

Drawing directly in the document window

Can anybody provide sample code showing the basics of drawing directly in the document window? I'm thinking of something along the lines of the measure tool (pardon the pun).
It looks like I'm supposed to use either the Annotator Suite or the Document View Suite to "invalidate" a rectangle in the document, followed by doing the actual drawing with the ADMDrawer Suite. But the documentation in this area is pretty sparse (for example GetDocumentViewInvalidRect and SetDocumentViewInvalidRect refer to a "fudged" invalid rect without explaining what that is) and I don't see anything in the Sample Code folder that explains this feature.
Are the little text annotations ("path" "anchor") that pop up when using Smart Guides done using this method?
Thanks,
John

(Sound of crickets chirping...)
Boy, this forum is awfully dead in comparison to the InDesign SDK forum. Is no one writing Illustrator plug-ins anymore?
But hey, I'll keep posting, if only for my own amusement, about my saga of writing a plug-in.
I figured out some of the annotation stuff, but I'm still puzzled by some things.
I started by simply trying to create a tool which would carry a 100x100 box around with it when moved on the screen -- no clicking or dragging yet -- much as the symbol sprayer, for example, has a nice circle (albeit of varying size) around it. I created the tool and added it as an annotator. When it receives a kSelectorAITrackToolCursor message, it simply captures the cursor location in a global and sets the PlatformCursor. When the tool receives a kCallerAIAnnotation message, I have this code:
extern AIErr toolAnnotate( AIAnnotatorMessage *message ) {
    AIErr error = kNoErr;
    error = sView->ArtworkPointToViewPoint( message->view, &g->cursorPoint, &g->cursorPointScreen );
    g->annoBoundsScreen.top = g->cursorPointScreen.v - 50;
    g->annoBoundsScreen.bottom = g->cursorPointScreen.v + 50;
    g->annoBoundsScreen.left = g->cursorPointScreen.h - 50;
    g->annoBoundsScreen.right = g->cursorPointScreen.h + 50;
    ADMDrawerRef dr = sADMDrawer->Create(message->port, &g->annoBoundsScreen, kADMPaletteFont);
    ASRect myRect;
    myRect.top = 0;
    myRect.bottom = 100;
    myRect.left = 0;
    myRect.right = 100;
    sADMDrawer->SetDrawMode( dr, kADMXORMode );
    sADMDrawer->SetADMColor( dr, kADMBlackColor );
    sADMDrawer->DrawRect( dr, &myRect );
    sADMDrawer->Destroy( dr );
    sAnnotator->InvalAnnotationRect ( message->view, &g->annoBoundsScreen );
This (should) convert the cursor location (in artwork coordinates) to screen coordinates, set the annotation boundaries based on this location, create the drawer reference, and draw the 100x100 rectangle within this reference. Finally, it invalidates this rectangle as per the Annotation suite documentation.
I fired up the tool in Illy 10 and saw a single box created down at the 0, 0 point on the page. No box followed the cursor. Hmm. I added an sADMBasic->Beep() to the annotation code and realized what was happening -- my tool was getting an annotation message when first selected, but none when it was merely moved around the screen.
After some futzing around I discovered that if I added a call to sView->SetDocumentViewInvalidDocumentRect in the TrackToolCursor code, I got an annotate message every time the mouse was moved! I captured the previous cursor position and invalidated the rectangle 50 points on all sides from it. and tried again. Success -- partially.
At this point, the cursor could be moved around with the box following it. It suffers, however, from the following bugs:
1) The SetDocumentViewInvalidDocumentRect is in artwork coordinates and so only works at 100% or greater. If I zoom out, my little box leaves trails all over the screen. In addition, if I zoom in, the cursor stutters noticeably -- I assume because Illustrator is forcing a redraw on large portions of the document. I think I can fix both these bugs by recalculating the SetDocumentViewInvalidDocumentRect into screen coordinates. However I note that the circle of the symbol sprayer can be made huge -- as large as the screen -- and it still moves smoothly. So maybe calling sView->SetDocumentViewInvalidDocumentRect is not the way to force annotations. But I haven't been able to discover another way.
2) When the mouse moves into a palette, the square remains "hung up" at the last position where the cursor was in the document window. I think I can fix this by utilizing the Suspend and Resume notifiers and doing one last InvalAnnotationRect when I get the Suspend notification.
3) For fun I tried clicking and dragging. Bad news. If I do this, thereafter the entire Illustrator window only redraws iself in the small rectangle that was set when I created the drawer port. By chance I found that if I use another tool that annotates such as the pencil *before* I use my tool, then everything is fine (although of course the box doesn't follow the cursor around anymore because my toolMouseDrag code is empty). How is using a previous tool "fixing" my code? I don't understand this one at all.
Anyway, I suppose I could fork over a wad of cash and join the ADN and purchase a support case -- but hey, I'm just a hobbyist messing around at this point and facing some rather crappy documentation. Any tips will be much appreciated.

Microsoft Word templates move and hide document window

Often when I open Word for Mac, the toolbars have moved to strange locations on my screen and will cover the document window's top portion so that I cannot even move it. Is there no way to force Word to memorize the locations where they were last left?
Anybody else have this issue?

You must be speaking of Office 2004 for Mac. Floating menus is one reason I never liked office 2004 for Mac or for that matter any software employing this technique.
You can dock some of the toolbars to the main toolbar on Office 2004/2008 however not all can be docked. You are right, they get annoying and especially need to be moved from time to time to get to the window behind them. I don't know of any way to set a permanent location for the toolbars.

How can I get the windowRef of the active document window?

Hello,
Hou could I get the ADMWindowRef of the active Document window in Illustrator CS4- CS5? I can not use ADMWindowSuite1 because is On Mac OS only.
Thank you very much to Everybody.

There's no API for this, not if you want to make use of it in a useful way. You have to write Windows API code to do it. I reccommend using Spy++ to suss out the structure. Frankly, it's pretty annoying. It'd be extremely helpful if the API provided this, but it doesn't.

Expand the Document Window's Page Name Area

In FW CS4, the area for the page name is too small. It truncates my page names so that I can't tell them apart like this:
Is there any way to expand that are where the page name shows up on the right of the document window toolbar?
Thanks!

That won't work if other users are to recognize what the pages are designed to do.
