How do I set text from an effect?

How do I write an effect to set the text on a text layer?  The text functions appear to be part of the AEGP suites.  I've tried to access these from my effect, in both the 'FrameSetup()' and 'Render()' functions, the text doesn't appear.
Since there are text effects that come with After Effects, it must be possible.  I must be overlooking something fundamental.
Thanks,
Bob Bales

Thanks,
I basically copied from the "Trxt Twiddler" sample.  My sequence of calls (with appeopriate suite pointers and arguments) is:
AEGP_GetEffectLayer();
AEGP_GetNewLayerStream(); 
GetNewStreamValue();
AEGP_SetText();
AEGP_DisposeStreamValue();
AEGP_DisposeStream();
If this is correct, I;ll start checking the values of the arguments.
Thanks,
Bob Bales

    Hi,
    Did you or can you set up the new iPhone from a Backup of the Old one ?
    They would have to be at the same Level of OS
    iMessages are deleted from the iMessages servers as soon as that are accepted by the device they were sent to.
    Essentially they are duplicated if you have more than one device and each then gets it's own "Copy" as they are push to each registered device based on unique login info.
    Therefore there is is no simple "Download" old iMessages.
    SMS items are also unlikely to be kept by the servers.

  • How do I read text from specific rows and columns in a tree structure?

    How do I read text from specific rows and columns in a tree structure? In a table you can specify the cell to read from but I have not been able to figure out how to do this with a tree structure.

    You need to set two properties to activate the correct cell and then you can read it's string property.
    The positioning properties are the "ActiveItemTag" and
    "ActiveColNum" properties. With them you select the tree item by it's tag and the active column. The string can then be read from the "Cell String" property.

  • How do I copy text from one layer to  another?

    I have Googled this but not a single answer seems to work.
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.6.7.
    OK, so  I  have a layer that  has some text in it.  I would like to  be able to  simply copy that  text  from one layer  to  another, but this seems to  be impossible as the Edit Paste menu item is grayed out after I have copied it in to the clipboard.  I can paste it into  the SAME layer, but not into another layer.
    This is how I am trying to  do  this.
    In the layer  with the text, click on the "T" icon to  the left.
    Click on the text, in the layer that I  want to  copy. 
    I select the text (either  by  clicking and dragging or pressing Command-A).
    Next I press Command-C.
    Then I  click on the layer In the Layer Panel) where I want to  paste the text.
    Pressing Command-V is impossible because the Edit-Paste menu option is grayed out!!!!
    WHY??????
    Perhaps more importantly, HOW do I copy text  from one layer to  another?

    First thing you can simply right click on the Text Layer and choose Duplicate Layer.  But that will create a new Text Lay
    er identical to the one you have.
    To answer your question in your case....  Create the Text Layer.   Make a New Layer.  Or have the layer you want to paste into visible.
    Highlight the text layer in the Layer Palette and Ctrl+Click (Win) Cmd+Click(Mac) so that you see marching ants walking around your text.
    Edit>Copy.
    Then highlight your Layer you want to paste into and hit Edit>Paste or Cmd+V / Ctrl+V.

  • How do I place text from Pages in InDesign

    How do I place text from Pages in InDesign?

    You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.
    You can also cut and paste but I assume you have already tried these options and are not happy with the result, but haven't said why.

  • How do I copy text from an epub book?

    how do I copy text from an epub book?

    Just some observations.
    PDF page content that is an image (and music notes may very well be that in a given PDF) then all that can be exported is the image.
    Only an image editor can "edit" such eh.
    As to textual content - once in TXT, RTF, DOC or DOCX yes, expect to have to do "cleanup"
    Of course there's the old school alternative that is always available.
    Paper copy beside you as you transcribe to a fresh word processing file.
    Be well...
