InDesign Server Plugin (C++) Plugin SDK: How to get the name of a frame?

Hi guys,
after some hours of digging with no luck and starting to think of dirty workarounds, I decided to ask
In JSX, this would be "pageItem.name", but how to do this in a C++ Plugin?
Any tips are appreciated!

Hi kinanu.be,
thanks for your answer. IScriptLabel returns the label, e.g. (JSX) "pageItem.label". I need the "pageItem.name"

How to get the values from repeated frame?.

Hi
how to get the values from repeated frame?. i have to disply the first 3 digits in another place in my report.
i have field empno in repeated frame and i want to disply first 3 digits in another place in the same report.
thanks

How often do you need to display it? It sounds like you might want to base a summary on that formula with a function of first or last. If it's a per page basis, it can be a page level summary. If it's at a higher level repeating frame, then you can create the summary at that level. I'd suggest taking a look at the online help for summaries using the first/last functions.
Hope that helps,
Toby

How to get the name of the current tab.

Hi Experts,
I have two tabs in my tab strip and a button common to both the tabs.Can you please let me know how to get the name of the current tab in the event method of the push button.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arun

1.Declare an Action for OnSelect event of Tabstrip. This event is triggered whenever any change in tab occurs.
2. Declare an Import Parameter in this method
   Tab type String.
3. This parameter has value of the selected TAB.
4. You can set this value in some Attribute in Attribute Tab in this event only (OnSelect):
     wd_this->Att = Tab.
Att is the attribute created by you in Attributes Tab of View. ( of type String)
5. Now the selected Tab ID is stored in this Attribute Att.
6. In the Onaction of Button , retrieve the selected tab value from this attribute using :
           Data : lv type string.
            lv = wd_this->Att
Now lv has your selected TAB ID.
I hope it would help you.

How to get the footage's current frame number in expression?

There are 2 layers.One is text layer,one is sequence layer.
Footage has begun from the 20th frame.
Therefore, the number of composition's current frame number and footage's frame number has shifted.
I want to show footage's frame number in text layer . not composition's frame number.
How to get the footage's current frame number in expression?
Tatsuya

>Footage has begun from the 20th frame.
Do you mean that the footage layer has been trimmed (so that the start of the footage lines up with the start of the comp, but the first 19 frames are not visible), or moved to the left (so that frame 20 lines up with the comp's frame 0), or that the sequence actually begins with the 20th frame (at frame 0 of the comp), or something else?
Are the frame rates of the comp and the footage the same?

How to get the name and value of an attribute on a node/element that is not a child

Hello,
Can someone shed some wisdom on how I can compare 2 xml nodes for differences.
My main challenge is I need to use the attributes/values of 'ProductDescription' and 'Features' as 'key' to identify the same node in
another doc with the same layout, but different content.
I am having trouble getting the name of the attribute on the node, 'ProductDescription' and 'Features'. I can only seem to get the node names, but not the attributes on the node. I need the name, because it can be different from doc to doc, so
I can't hardcode this.
Can someone please help with how to retrieve an attribute name/value on a node that is not a child. Here's an example of what
my xml looks like:
DECLARE
@myDoc1 xml
,@mydoc2 xml
DECLARE
@ProdID int
SET @myDoc1 ='<ProductDescription ProductID="1" ProductName="Road Bike">
<Features featureID = "1" featureName = "body">
<Warranty>1 year parts and labor</Warranty>
<Maintenance>3 year parts and labor extended maintenance is available</Maintenance>
</Features>
<features featureID = "2" featureName = "seat">
<Warranty>1 year parts and labor</Warranty>
<Maintenance>2 year parts and labor extended maintenance is available</Maintenance>
</Features>
</ProductDescription>
SET @myDoc2 ='<ProductDescription ProductID="1" ProductName="Road Bike">
<Features featureID = "1" featureName = "body">
<Warranty>2 year parts and labor</Warranty>
<Maintenance>3 year parts and labor extended maintenance is available</Maintenance>
</Features>
<features featureID = "2" featureName = "wheel">
<Warranty>1 year parts and labor</Warranty>
<Maintenance>2 year parts and labor extended maintenance is available</Maintenance>
</Features>
</ProductDescription>
I need to compare the attributes of 'ProductDescription' and 'Features' from @mydoc1 against @mydoc2 to see if they are the same based on those 2 nodes first. If they are, then i want to show the difference in the child elements.
This will eventually be an outer join to give me the differences betw the 2 docs based on those key values (node attributes).
I used node('//*') for the path, and value('local-name(../.)', 'varchar(50)') as element
,value('.[not(@xsi:nil = "true")]','VARCHAR(255)') AS new_value
...etc...
but that only gives me the node names, and the child elements. It does not give me back the attribute names and values from the node itself.
Thanks in advance for your help.
cee

Are you looking for something like this:
DECLARE @myDoc1 xml
SET @myDoc1 ='<ProductDescription ProductID="1" ProductName="Road Bike">
<Features featureID = "1" featureName = "body">
<Warranty>1 year parts and labor</Warranty>
<Maintenance>3 year parts and labor extended maintenance is available</Maintenance>
</Features>
<Features featureID = "2" featureName = "seat">
<Warranty>1 year parts and labor</Warranty>
<Maintenance>2 year parts and labor extended maintenance is available</Maintenance>
</Features>
</ProductDescription>'
SELECT T.c.value('local-name(.)', 'nvarchar(50)') AS name,
T.c.value('.', 'nvarchar(50)') AS value
FROM @myDoc1.nodes('ProductDescription/@*') AS T(c)

How to get the name of tag or variable

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie, I have problem on getting the name or tag of the variable from OLE for Processing Control(OPC) server, could anyone tell me how I can get the name of tag or variable from writting vb codes or please direct me to any helpful information. Here are
my codes,
Dim ItemsDef(NBR_ITEMS) As String
Dim DeviceAddress As String
Dim IndItem As Long
DeviceAddress = "MBT:152.160.178.60"
'Preparing the Handles for "AddItems"
For IndItem = 1 To NBR_ITEMS
ItemsDef(IndItem) = DeviceAddress & "!40000" & Format(IndItem) '40000 is the memory location of variable in the OPC, how can I get the variable name, what is the code or syntax?
Next
blah...
Thank you,
Calvin

Hi Calvin,
If you are looking for general information and examples about OPC, then we have lots of places for you to browse!
Here is a small list, and you can probably find other links within these documents:
**If you have Measurement Studio from National Instruments, then you can look at the "Measurement Studio Reference" help file. Search for OPC and in the overview you will find the methods for accessing the items on an OPC server.
**Elsewhere in the help file, you can find a link to this Application Note on our developer zone
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzoneweb.nsf/opendoc?openagent&F4921B34CA8F4A9786256874005BE3F7&cat=7CDA3E51FEFC4AA2862568B80071A1E2
**One more resource is http://www.ni.com/opc
**Probably the most useful will be the examples yo
u can find on our web site. You can go to http://www.ni.com/support and in Option 3 search the Example Code database for "opc".
In the first example program (Controlling OPC Servers with the OPC Automation API in Visual Basic) that you should get when searching for "opc" in the example programs database, look for the line with this code: "browser.GetItemID(leaf)". There you can see the way the program creates an OPCBrowser from the server instance, and then gets the servers available items for use by the client. This sounds like the specific information you are looking for with the variable name.
If you aren't able to find out your answer here or in the various help resources, then please feel free to contact us at National Instruments at http://www.ni.com/ask

How to get the name of current monitor?

I have a script which is used to get some application data. The script take parameters such as "LOB" so it can query data for different department. When it found something, it raise an event in event log.
Therefore this script is used by several different monitors. Each monitor calls the script by passing different parameters. To better understand the event was created by which monitor, I want the script can get the name of monitor which calling it and they
list it in the event log too.
Currently, I am passing $MPElement$ as one script parameter so I can get the monitor's GUID. Then get the name by running powershell command. Is there an easier way to get the monitor name? Thanks!

The best way to do this is to put the monitor name as a property bag in the script and pass that to your event details. Otherwise, we're looking at querying the database each time the monitor generates an event, and this is overhead that is really not
necessary. The other option, which is just even worse in terms of performance, is to use powershell to query the SDK for the monitor name. Both of these options are not going to be a good solution, because now you need to implement action accounts that can
either query the database or the sdk.

How to get the name of the attachment in Sender Mail Adaper?

hi mates,
I've scenario a where in I need to pick up a mail with an attachment and change its extension and send it to target system using file adapter.
I'm able to pick up the mail with attachment using sender mail adapter but not able to get the name of the attachment so that I can use it in mapping or on the adapter configuration. How do I read the name of the attachment and manupulate it?
I looked at the thread sender mail adapter - attachment name But the solution is not described. I think Stefan is talking about the SP!2 for PI 7.0. I'm on XI 3.0 what is the equivalent SP for that, SP20? Stefan, can you please throw me more light on it?
I appreciate your valuable inputs
thx in adv
praveen

Thanks Aamir.
Earlier I replied to that thread asking for more details...but did not see the response...
anyways, thanks for your quick help..
but I wonder abt the PI SP12/ XI SP20 pre-requisite. We can have adapter modules on SPs lower than PI SP12/XI SP20 as well, can we not?
thanks

How to get the name of a duplicated control or created control and add a callback to it

Hi All,
Depending on how many input points I need, I am duplicating a numeric or string input with the DuplicateCtrl function. My question is, how do I get the name and id of the control that was just created, and how can i assign a callback to it? Alternately, would it be better to create a fresh ctrl instead of duplicating?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi TurboMetrologist,
why are you trying to get the control constant name? Keep in mind that you cannot use that name to address the control; control names are actually simply macros in the include file associated to the UIR, that is, the compiler preprocesses the code and wherever it finds PANEL_CONTROL names substitutes the corresponding numeric value as parameters to the functions (and consequently 'control' parameter is an int and not a char*)
That is why NewCtrl () or DuplicateCtrl () functions return a control ID: it is the handle to the new object, our only way to manipulate it. You will need to store this handle into a non-volatile memory so that you can access it durng program life.
Additionally, there are other ways to assign some particular meaning to a control than swiching on the control constant name. You could for example use the callbackData parameter to differentiate between different copies of a control.
Let me explain with an example. You told that you need several inputs (dynamically created as you don't know in advance how many of them to use); a clean solution could be to:
Design a master copy of one control in the UIR editor, where it is easy to customize it; assign also a callback function, if it has to be common to all copies of the control
Programmatically assign a callbackData value to that control, e.g. SetCtrlAttribute (..., ..., ATTR_CALLBACK_DATA, (void *)1);
Duplicate the control and then assign a different callbackData
for (i = 2; i < 5; i++) {
   handle = DuplicateCtrl (...);
   SetCtrlAttribute (..., handle, ATTR_CALLBACK_DATA, (void *)i);
By operating this way, every time the control callback is fired by any control it will receive the assigned callbackData, and you will be able to differentiate your code by a simple switch:
switch ((int)callbackData) {
   case 1:    // The master control
      break;
   case 2:    // The first duplicated control
      break;

How to get the name of the file parent

Hi,
i have a file in this location
File file = new File(MyFile.doc)
file.getParent(); returns
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\xyz
now from the string obtained i just want to get the value "xyz".i.e. i want to get the name of the parent directory.
how is it possible

You may use String.indexOf()if(file.getParent().indexOf("/myProject/myPackage") != -1) {
...Or you might use regular expressions and Matcher class (or String.matches()) in case of higher complexity.

How to get the name of the subform

Hi All,
My form is designed in the below structure.
masgterpage-->form1-->table
                              -->subform
How can i get the name of the subform dynamically(as it varies from page to page, but the rest of the structure is same).
Please help me.
Thank you,
Saravanakumar.

Hi there,
the name property would be the correct attribute to get the subform name, just by looking at the code it doesn't seem like it's doing the right thing
I am assuming that you send Main in the function countChk() which would look something like this
countChk(Main);
And you probably want to make sure you are entering the right subform so you need to keep that loop at the end of the function
but if you want to get through all the checkboxes inside that subform you must do a loop through that node to find each checkbox
I am assuming that the function would probably look something like this
function countChk(vNode) {//Starts vNode with Main
     for (var i = 0; i < vNode.nodes.length; i++) {
          if (vNode.nodes.item(i).className === "field") {
               if (vNode.ui.oneOfChild.className === "checkButton") {
                    if (vNode.items.nodes.length > 1) {
                         if (vNode.value.oneOfChild.value == 1) {
                              nChk++ ;
          }else if (vNode.nodes.item(i).className === "subform"){
               if (vNode.nodes.item(i).name === "Door_Subform"){
                    countChk(vNode.nodes.item(i));
     }//endloop
Hope this help!
