How to get the highlighted text range through Framemaker's API calls?

Hi all,
I'm new to the Framemaker API (7.x) and developing a plugin for Framemaker 7.x. I wanted to get the highlighted objects from the active mif document. Tried this code:
F_TextRangeT tr;
/* Get the current text selection. */
tr = F_ApiGetTextRange(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_TextSelection);
Here is how I tested it:
1. some text in the mif doc was highlighted.
2. I clicked the menu item "my_plugin", a framemaker dialog popped up, some test configuration was sent through the dialog.
3. The test configuration was read by my program correctly.
However, the debugger showed that the tr is null! When I changed the first step of the test into:
1. placed the mouse cursor at somewhere in the mif doc.
The plugin worked somehow, the line where the mouse cursor was placed got selected, although I did not highlight anything.
My question is: how to get a highlighted range though the Framemaker API call? I've been flipping through the FDK 7.0 Programmer's Reference but haven't found a solution yet. Any hint will be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Ellen N. Zhao

Here is some information from the FDK Programmer's guide page 115:
IMPORTANT: A valid text range can span multiple paragraphs, subcolumns, or text frames.
It cant span multiple flows, footnotes, table cells, or text lines.
It is possible for a document to have no text selection or insertion point at all. This can occur in
the following circumstances:
● One or more graphic objects in the document are selected
● One or more entire table cells in the document are selected
● There is no selection of any type in the document
So, I did select one or more entire table cells in the document in my first test. It's logical that the result was not like expected.
But selecting one or more entire table cells is a crucial requirement for my plugin, is there anyway to get things straight?
Simply put, I want to enable users to select one or more table cells in the document, and I want to get the object handles of the first cell and the last cell through Framemaker API calls. How?
Many thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Ellen N. Zhao

How to get the bold texts in JTextPane?

How to get the bold texts in JTextPane?

I believe you need to look at the Elements of the Document. Use the Document.getDefaultRootElement() method to get the first root Element. From there you can iterate through all the Elements. You should then be able to check the attributes of the element to see if it contains the Bold attribute using something like:
AttributeSet attributes = element.getAttributes();
if ( attributes.containsAttribute(StyleConstants.Bold, Boolean.TRUE)
// do processing here

How to get the Sales Text?

Hi,
I need a Function which will help me to read the Sales Text found in the MM03. I am using the following function but it seems I am not getting the NAME right. In the table STXL when I checked the NAME contains the MATERIAL(X7000114BLCK), SALES Org(1000) and Distribution Channel(20) like this "X7000114BLCK      100020". How could I make up this? or is there another easy Function where I could give the Sales Order No, Material or Line Item to get the Sales Text which comes in MM03.
The Funtion that I used;
call function 'READ_TEXT_INLINE'
         exporting
              id              = '0001'
              inline_count    = 1
              language        = 'E'
              NAME            = PO_OBJ
              object          = 'MVKE'
         tables
              inlines         = inlines
              lines           = lines
         exceptions
              id              = 1
              language        = 2
              name            = 3
              not_found       = 4
              object          = 5
              reference_check = 6
              others          = 7.

Even if you want to personalise the Text also you can do without checking the DICTREF checkbox. Dirctly you can give the text in the Text elements by using the Menu GOTO -> Text Elemetns -> Selection Texts.

How to get the numeric value of DocTotal from UI API

When I hit the ADD button I need to get the DocTotal from the UI API !
All I have is the EditText which gives it in string and the problem is to double.Parse it
it's a pain to do it while there is CultureInfo related issue with it.
So It would be wise to get the numeric value directly from the UI API instead of getting the DocTotal by string and trying to convert it. So is there any way to get the numrci value of DocTotal from UI API ?

Hello Marc,
Here is a function which considering the Culture Info and always working. You can speed it up by using extending admininfo to global vairables, and loading the values at startup of the addon.
Use the oEditText.value.ToString() to convert into into the doulbe number:
Public Function _string2double(ByVal s As String) As Double
        Dim d As Double
' This part is fast, when regional settings equal to sap B1 settings:
        Try
            d = Convert.ToDouble(s)
            d = Math.Round(d, 6)
            Return d
        Catch
        End Try
' Speed up performance: extend CompaneService variables to global variables and query them at addon startup.
        Try
            Dim nfi As System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat
            Dim oCompanyService As SAPbobsCOM.CompanyService = oCompany.GetCompanyService()
            Dim oAdminInfo As SAPbobsCOM.AdminInfo = oCompanyService.GetAdminInfo()
            Dim sbodsep As String = oAdminInfo.DecimalSeparator
            Dim sbotsep As String = oAdminInfo.ThousandsSeparator
            If s.IndexOf(Space(1)) > 0 Then
                If oAdminInfo.DisplayCurrencyontheRight = BoYesNoEnum.tYES Then
                    s = s.Substring(0, s.IndexOf(Space(1)))
                Else
                    s = s.Substring(s.IndexOf(Space(1)), s.Length - s.IndexOf(Space(1)))
                End If
            End If
            Dim s1 As String = s.Replace(sbotsep, nfi.NumberGroupSeparator)
            s1 = s1.Replace(sbodsep, nfi.NumberDecimalSeparator)
            d = Convert.ToDouble(s)
            d = Math.Round(d, 6)
            Return d
        Catch
            Return 0
        End Try
    End Function

How to get the standard texts available in a smartforms

Hi Experts,
How can we find out the standard texts that are exist in a particular smartform . is there any table/function module available to get those standard texts? I am finding the table STXFTXT, from that I am getting only textline. But I need the standard text names that are used in a smartform.
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh

hi,
1,Use SO10 Tcode to write standard text in Smartform.
2.For long text
method1
Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to include text
then you can input text name/text object/text id/language
method2
create PROGRAM LINE node - use FM READ_TEXT to read it to a internal table
then use LOOP or TABLE node to display it
For TEXT module(For foreign language)
Tr-code:smartforms -- choose Text module(not choose form)--create a text module object
then enter smartform Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to text module
input the text module name which created by above
3.
1. take function module name of the smartform.
2. goto se37 and type that fm name.
3. goto attributes tab
4. double click on either program or include .
5. There u can find all the subroutines used inside smartform.
6. search for "perform %move using %textkey-name".
4.Standard Texts are created in SO10 Tcode and stored in STXH table with OBject ,ID and NAME parameters. We can use Read_Text FM to read the text.
check the tables STXH & STXL.
5.
How to CAll Standard Text in Smart Forms
In SFs you can insert the standard tests using the TEXT node. Create a TEXT NODE. Then in the GENERAL ATTRIBUTES of this TEXT node select INCLUDE TEXT in the TYPE option. Then you have to enter the text name, object , ID and language in the provided fields. Then if you dont want any error if there is no text in the corresponding text then CHECK the check box "No errors if no text available.
