Is there an Object Model documented somewhere?

I'm trying to fit this all together, and the various pieces seem to be described either in highly fragmented text, or the overwhelming LiveDocs. And I don't typically find the fragments in LiveDocs.
Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get from a Spark TextArea to a collection of TextLines. I imagine there are a bunch of abstraction layers between. How best do I figure out what they are?

A Spark TextArea has a content, which is (or can be) a TextFlow. You can get this from the TextArea.textFlow property as a TextFlow. A TextFlow has a IFlowComposer, and the flow composer has a controller. The controller has the container, and the container is the parent of the TextLines.Alternatively, if you want access to lines that may be scrolled off. you can get to a TextFlowLines in the flow composer (see for instance IFlowComposer.getLineAt). If the line is not visible, there may not be a corresponding TextLine in the TextFlowLine, but you can get one by calling getTextLine(true) on the TextFlowLine.
The class headers in the API docs have overview descriptions of some of this, and there is also "Overview of the Text Layout Framework" in the API docs that has a description of the various packages. I hope this gets you started!

[ANN] InDesign CC 2014 Document Object Model Documentation

I've freshly rendered an alternative documentation for Adobe ExtendScript API and the InDesign Object Model.
InDesign ExtendScript API (10.0)
I don't like the representation in the Object Model Viewer provided by the Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit and hence used the HTML Version from Jongware on a daily basis. However these files are only up to InDesign CS6 and not searchable. So I started to convert them on my own. If you feel familiar with the structure and layout from Jongware files, this is not by chance, because I'm totally used to it.
Feel free to browse the documentation, download a copy for offline usage (Unfortunately the offline search function will not work in Chrome). The sources of the Transformation can be found on github. The copyright of the original Files is by Adobe Systems Incorporated.
I'm happy about Feedback and Bug reports. Keep in mind that the doucmentation sources are written by Adobe and I can only corret transformation errors!
Acknowledgements
This project ist based on the fantastic ExtendScript API HTML from [Jongware]. Without his efforts and inspiration I would not have realized it. Thank You!

Hello Jongware!
After a couple of changes for ID CC2014 as you'll note below (" -> ', and, Object Styles) to an old couple lines of your code, I got the following to work beautifully to delete all the unused Indesign styles in a document off a hot key. A real time saver!
//DeleteAllUnusedStyles
app.menus.item('Paragraph Style Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Select All Unused').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
app.menus.item('Paragraph Style Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Delete Styles…').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
app.menus.item('Character Style Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Select All Unused').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
app.menus.item('Character Style Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Delete Styles…').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
app.menus.item('Object Styles Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Select All Unused').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
app.menus.item('Object Styles Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Delete Styles…').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
The only thing stopping me from popping it into a loop to do a whole book at once (a trick I got from your excellent show-hide layers script) is that I don't know how to "Check The Box" in the ID UI that opens as it does each panel to make it "Apply To All". I'm sure it's quite simple but I've been through your handy dandy Script classes list, and ExtendScript, 'til I'm blue in the face and can't take it any more.
Can you offer me a hint where to look?
Best Regards,

Documentation for the Acrobat Document Object Model

Hello
I'm trying to move my first steps in this field, I hope you can bear with my naive questions.
I'm trying to find the documentation for the Acrobat Document Object Model. To my surprise a search in the forum's archives was unsuccessful.
I remember downloading out of curiosity a few PDFs from Adobe about their implementation of JavaScript in Acrobat, one precisely concerning ADOM (but I could be wrong as it was a few years ago and I'm getting old): are those documents a thing of the past?
Thank you very much.
Giordano

Have a look here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
The link there is for the version 9 reference, which is usually good enough,
but if you want the latest one (in PDF form), you can find it inside the
Acrobat X SDK package, here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/sdk/eula.html

HELP! Where I can find the InDesign Object Model, Methods, and Properties?

I've done a little VB scripting with InDesign, using some of the examples I've found here and there. But I can't for the life of me find a full listing of the Object Model, nor a listing of methods and properties. I'm limited in what I can do by stumbling upon objects here and there in others' scripts. Surely this must be documented somewhere.
One thing that's particularly confusing to me (partly because I'm not well-versed in JS), is I'll see something the following
app.selection[0].fit(FitOptions.frameToContent)
where "FitOptions.frameToContent" seems to reference a constant, presumably in a structure. How do I determine the actual constant value, or supply an object reference (as I'm scripting from a stand-alone VB app) such that it can "find" that constant?

I don't know how VB5 works, but when you add reference to InDesign and declare variable, for example:
Dim myInDi as InDesign.Application
then when you write somewhere "myInDi." - VB6 IDE give you context list with all methods and properties of InDesign application
here is link to AS/JS/VB CS2 reference and AS CS3 reference
http://www.indesignscriptingreference.com/
here is link to CS2 ScriptingGuide - 20MB ;)
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/pdfs/InDesign_Scripting_Reference.pdf
I remember that was page with InDesign Scripting PDFs on adobe site - but now all links are broken ... somebody in Adobe - web admin - should check what is going on ...
Photoshop and Illustrator pages works fine:

Enable anonymous access for Javascript Client Object Model

In SharePoint 2010 it was possible to use the Javascript Client Object Model with anonymous access enabled by removing "GetItems" from the ClientCallableSettings.AnonymousRestrictedTypes.
In SharePoint 2013 however, it seems that an extra security barrier has been implemented. Trying to use the Javascript Client Object Model results in the following message: "Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this
resource."
After this I went on to do a little research, and it appears that Javascript Client Object Model actually relies on the REST API (please correct me if I'm mistaken), and the REST API also doesn't seem to work as an anonymous user.
So I'm in the dark here. I can't imagine that SharePoint 2013 (so heavily relying on the client object model) can't be used with anonymous access. I've also found very little documentation on anonymous access in combination with SharePoint 2013.
So, how do I enable the Javascript Client Object Model to be used with anonymous access enabled?
P.S. Needless to say, my web application is enabled for anonymous access and so is my site collection.

There are really 4 things you need to do to enable anonymous access:
1. In web application level, enable anonymous.
2. In site collection level, make sure anonymous access Entire Website.
3. In Web level, set Full Permission Masks, till here, you're able to anonymously access REST APIs.
# Enable Anonymous access
$web = Get-SPWeb $url
if($web -ne $null)
Write-Host
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "Enabling Anonymous access on:" $web.Url
Write-Host
$web.AnonymousState = "On"
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "AnonymousState set to:" $web.AnonymousState
$web.AnonymousPermMask64 = "FullMask"
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "AnonymousPermMask64 set to:" $web.AnonymousPermMask64
$web.Update()
Write-Host
Below are the things to enable anonymous client object model APIs:
4. In web application level, Require Use Remote Interfaces Permission - uncheck it.
5. In web application level, Anonymous Restricted Types, remove all of them:
$app.ClientCallableSettings.AnonymousRestrictedTypes.RemoveAll()

Cannot create list in SharePoint 2010 using Client Object Model

I am trying to utilize SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model to create a List based on a custom template. Here's my code:
public void MakeList(string title, string listTemplateGUID, int localeIdentifier)
string message;
string listUrl;
List newList;
Guid template;
ListCreationInformation listInfo;
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListCollection lists;
try
listUrl = title.Replace(spaceChar, string.Empty);
template = GetListTemplate((uint)localeIdentifier, listTemplateGUID);
listInfo = new ListCreationInformation();
listInfo.Url = listUrl;
listInfo.Title = title;
listInfo.Description = string.Empty;
listInfo.TemplateFeatureId = template;
listInfo.QuickLaunchOption = QuickLaunchOptions.On;
clientContext.Load(site);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
lists = site.Lists;
clientContext.Load(lists);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
newList = lists.Add(listInfo);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
catch (ServerException ex)
Now, this particular part, newList = lists.Add(listInfo); clientContext.ExecuteQuery();, the one that is supposed to create the actual list, throws an exception:
Message: Cannot complete this action. Please try again.
ServerErrorCode: 2130239231
ServerErrorTypeName: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException
Could anyone please help me realize what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I've made progress - well, at least to some extent. The previous message related to the "Invalid file name" is not appearing any more. I now realize that it is necessary to specify feature ID, list template kind, as well as custom schema in order
to order SharePoint 2010 to create the document library.
However, there's a new problem which isn't documented on the net almost at all (at least I was unable to find anything): The document library gets created, but I cannot access it. Further inspection showed that the doc lib views are not created. Basically,
the only accessible doc lib page is the document library settings page. Also, I get the server exception with the message:
Server Out Of Memory. There is no memory on the server to run your program. Please contact your administrator with this problem.
Any idea what is causing this issue? Thanks.
Hi Boris
Borenović,
I think I found the reason for this notorious "Server Out Of Memory" error.
(Man, it took 4 hrs of frustrating troubleshooting without any direct hints... very disappointing
MSFT developers :( ).
Anyway,
All the "Form" elements at the bottom need to have SetupPath="pages\form.aspx"
attribute (by default this attrib is missing when you copy the whole List element from inside the stp's manifest.xml file).
Also, just make sure that each "View" element has correct "WebPartZoneID", "SetupPath" and "Url" attribute values otherwise that list/library will
be created successfully but will fail to load when you try to access it (with the VERY helpful "Cannot complete this action, contact administrator" error). Even if you enable stack trace (or check ULS logs) you will find "An unexpected
error has been encountered in this Web Part. Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe." and you will never realize it's because of the
incorrect attributes ("WebPartZoneID", "SetupPath" or "Url" as mentioned above).
Come on Microsoft, you can do better than that?
If the API needs this attrib then why is it missing inside the manifest.xml file when
an STP file generated in the first place?

Indesign Scripting Object Model

Hi,
Is there some reference documentation that provides detailed information on the Indesign object model as exposed to the scripting interface (javascript)?
I have done fair amount of scripting in Illustrator so I was looking for the Indesign equivalent of this document
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/illustrator/scrip ting/illustrator_scripting_reference_javascript_cs5.pdf
I looked at this document but it seems kind of sparse (compared to illustrator)
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/indesign/pdfs/InDes ignCS5_ScriptingGuide_JS.pdf
Obviously they are different applications but I was kind of hoping there would be more info for Indesign scripting.
In particular I am looking for some insight on how to effectively walk or traverse the document structure of an indesign document using code.
Finding specific things by type seems out of the picture becuase after doing object reflection on all the page items in an indesign document nothing seems to have a "type" property.
In my illustrator scripts I was able to place stuff in illustrator layers, give arbitrary pageitems a name and then later go find and manipulate via script. Not as clear how to do this in an indesign context.
The one advantage of this was that in illustrator I was able to use textframes to hold variable data and read later via scripts. The document becomes the database. And I could create any number of arbitrary "variables" inside the document outside the white board. WOndering how to do this kind of stuff with indesign so I can do template driven documents that are managed by scriptings and form UI that I create.

commnet: Glad to hear you're clear on the new keyword. It's something that a lot of people are confused about.
Also glad to hear you've read Crockford's book on this stuff. Honestly I think for most InDesign usage, it's a mistake to worry about any kind of inheritance...usually it's easier to ignore all that stuff.
And to answer the question about number of properties, probably talking max 100 or so. Certainly not thousands. I just want to have my own datastructure embedded in the indesign document that I can easily talk to via scripts. And this data needs to persist between instances of the javascript script's lifecycle. So it seems having some XML to parse is the solution. If that makes sense.
If there was a way to deal with JSON data "hidden" within an indesign document I would gladly work with that. But I still need to change certain common content snippets inside the flow of the indesign document in a consistent way.
I think if you have max 100 properties, you should probably choose the methods that are clearest code, rather than most efficient. I suppose you might have noticable delay with 100, though, obviously try it and see. I'm confused but I thought you needed to have your data associated with text elements inside your document, such that it is visible to a user in the user interface. Hence the proposal of using XML tagged text inside a Text Frame. Did that requirement go away?
If you just want to hide JSON in the document, then use document.insertLabel() of a string of JSON and be done with it.
You can also use the JavaScript interpreter's E4X features, that give you much richer Javascript bindings for manipulating XML objects and files. Unfortunately the Javascript's XML bindings have nothing to do with the InDesign XML object model. So could, e.g., export the InDesign DOM XML into a file, read that into a Javascript XML object, manipulating with E4X functions, write it out to a file, and then re-import it into the DOM. Not really very convenient.
I honestly don't know much about Javascript for browsers, so if you could be more concrete in your queries it would be easier to answer.
Looking forward to your example snippet though.
OK, so, in Jeff (absqua)'s example, you create a constructor for a changeNumber rule, you call the constructor to make a rule, add the rule to the ruleset, and change a value attribute of the rule, and then process the ruleset.
This strikes me as...extremely goofy. For two reasons, first the ruleset creation function should be parametrized with the value you want to change, and second, that you go change the rule's attributes after you have added it to a ruleset. Also, while this works in this example, I don't think it's appropriate to have the xpath attribute hardcoded in the rule creation function -- it's much plausible that you want a function that constructs a rule that changes some arbitrary tag to some arbitrary value.
So, anyhow, if you were going to stick with the constructor paradigm, then I would change from:
var changeNumber = new ChangeDocumentNumber();
var ruleSet = [changeNumber, changeDescription];
changeNumber.value = "5678";
__processRuleSet(doc.xmlElements[0], ruleSet);
to:
var changeNumber = new ChangeDocumentNumber();
changeNumber.value = "5678";
var ruleSet = [changeNumber, changeDescription];
__processRuleSet(doc.xmlElements[0], ruleSet);
But I don't like this, because it's not parametrized reasonably. I would want something like:
var changeNumber = new ChangeValue("//DocumentNumber", "5678");
var changeDescription = new ChangeValue("//DocumentDescription", "New descr.");
var ruleSet = [ changeNumber, changeDescription ];
But because of my disdain for classical inheritance in JavaScript, I would instead write it as:
function changeValue(xpath, newValue){
return {
    name: "ChangeValue",
    xpath: xpath,
    apply: function(Element, processor) {
      if (newValue) {
        element.contents = newValue;
      return true;
var changeNumber = changeValue("//DocumentNumber", "5678");
var changeDescription = changeValue("//DocumentDescription", "New descr.");
Because I think that a lot clearer about what is going on without introducing confusion.
Edit: removed "this.value" from the above and just used newValue directly.
But if you're defining a lot of rules with different apply functions, this is a very cumbersome strategy. You have all this boilerplate for each function that is basically the same but the apply function is different. This is leads to a lot of wasted code duplications. Why would your apply function be different? Well, that would usually be if you are writing functions that move around XML elements within the document hierarchy, or other things that are not simply changing the value of an element.
I would much prefer to write this as:
var changeRule = makeRule("change",
function(element, ruleProcessor, newValue) {
    element.contents = newValue;
var changeNumber = changeRule("//DocumentNumber", "5678");
var changeDescription = changeRule("//DocumentDescription", "New descr.");
var ruleSet = [ changeNumber, changeDescription ];
This kind of syntax makes it much more compact to create arbitrary rules with different apply functions. In retrospect, the makeRule() function is named wrong, because it returns a function that makes a rule. Perhaps it'd be more reasonable if it was called makeRuleMaker().
Anyhow, the downside is that the makeRule() function is kind of heinous. I wrote this in March in Re: How to shift content with in cell in xml rules table. But:
//// XML rule functions
// Adobe's sample for how to define these is HORRIBLE.
// Let's fix several of these problems.
// First, a handy object to make clearer the return values
// of XML rules:
var XMLmm = { stopProcessing: true, continueProcessing: false};
// Adobe suggest defining rules constructors like this:
//   function RuleName() {
//       this.name = "RuleNameAsString";
//       this.xpath = "ValidXPathSpecifier";
//       this.apply = function (element, ruleSet, ruleProcessor){
//       //Do something here.
//       //Return true to stop further processing of the XML element
//       return true;
//       }; // end of Apply function
// And then creating a ruleset like this:
//   var myRuleSet = new Array (new RuleName, new anotherRuleName);
// That syntax is ugly and, and is especially bad if
// you need to parametrize the rule parameters, which is the only
// reasonable approach to writing reasonable rules. Such as:
//   function addNode(xpath, parent, tag) {
//       this.name = "addNode";
//       this.xpath = xpath;
//       this.apply = function (element, ruleProcessor) {
//           parent.xmlElements.add(tag);
//           return XMLmm.stopProcessing;
// and then creating a ruleset like:
//   rule = new Array (new addNode("//p", someTag));
// So instead we introduce a makeRule function, that
// allows us to leave behind all the crud. So then we can write:
// addNode = makeRule("addNode",
// function(element, ruleProcessor, parent, tag) {
//     parent.xmlElements.add(tag);
//     return XMLmm.stopProcessing;
// and use:
// rule = [ addNode("//p", someTag ];
function makeRule(name, f) {
    return function(xpath) {
        var
            //xpath=arguments[0],
               // "arguments" isn't a real array, but we can use
               // Array.prototype.slice on it instead...
               args=Array.prototype.slice.apply(arguments, [1]);
        return {
            name: name,
            xpath: xpath,
            apply: function(element, ruleProcessor) {
                    // Slice is necessary to make a copy so we don't
                    // affect future calls.
                var moreargs = args.slice(0);
                moreargs.splice(0, 0, element, ruleProcessor);
                return f.apply(f,moreargs);

ExtendScript2 CS3 Object Model Viewer (very complicated - any alternative viewer ??)

hallo iam just starting with JavaScript in CS3 and what i found most confusing is the Adobe's Object Model Viewer in ExtendScript2...
its no help whatsoever and i didnt figure out the logics of the various dictionary items listed, whatsoever...
if this is currentlly the only complete reference to CS3 JavaScript model than god help us....
the ExtendScript2 Object Model Viewer needs to be COMPLETELLY REWORKED to become a full powered dictionary tool instead of an unorganized pile of items
have you tried InDesign CS3 AppleScript Dictionary in Apple's ScriptEditor... thats a dictionary of object model as i would imagine
1) its FULLY tree-structured dictionary from topmost level down
2) all items are categorized and sorted BY TYPE using various icons
3) every item has a properties catalog card with nice english explanations of that function with hyperlinks to all other relevant items
IS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE TO VIEW CS3 JAVASCRIPT OBJECT MODEL AND NOT USE THE EXTENDSCRIPT2 WEAK VIEWER ?????

Hi Rosta,
I have to admit that I don't understand. I see very little difference between the ESTK object model viewer and the AppleScript dictionary viewer. If anything, I think the ESTK version is superior because it connects methods with their objects--something that the AppleScript viewer doesn't do at all. But I pretty much find them equivalent.
Regardless, the descriptions are *identical* between the object model viewer in the ESTK, the AppleScript dictionary viewer, and the Visual Basic/VBA object browser. All descriptions come from the scripting resources in InDesign, and all languages use the same description string.
Jongware's HTML version, however, is much better than any of the above. Its hyperlinking is very good, and everything else can be found with your browser's Find command.
Relying on the object model viewers has freed me from the task of maintaining the reference PDFs--which was taking almost all of my time. Without that burden, I can focus on writing the Scripting Guides, Scripting Tutorial, and example scripts. While I agree that the object model viewers aren't perfect, I believe that this is a better use of my time. I think that scripting examples are more useful, overall, than reference documentation (which simply repeats the information from the scripting resources, in any case).
One very nice thing--because we have to rely on the object model viewers, we were allowed to fix literally hundreds of errors in the descriptions in the scripting resources.
Thanks,
Ole

An object model for Edge Animate

Is there a published full object model for Edge Animate, showing all the functions and properties that are exposed?
Would like to know what properties exist for each object, as well as what functions can be called.
Thanks.

Hi Preran,
Thanks.
Yes, the question is what do you expose to users?
If I want to know what variable/properties I can access, is there a table or list someplace?
If I want to know the text string being shown in a text object, what property is that.
If I want to set the text value of a text object, what function do I call?
If I want to know the font used in a text box, what property is that?
Most of your documentation that I have seen so far is more HOW TO oriented, I would say.
"If you want to do this, do that...if you want to do this, to something else".
That is helpful.
But not as helpful as "Here are all the properties you can access, and here are all the methods you can call".
THAT is also helpful.
So, what properties and methods are PUBLICLY exposed and available for us to use programmatically, would be very helpful to knowl.
Edge Animate is a tremendous tool.
Believe me, we are trying to count on it to deliver some ground-breaking research.
We just don't want to play trial-and-error with what is there to be utilized, anymore than we have to.
Thanks, again.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Derrick

Create a site collection with dedicated content db with the help of server object model

Hi,
I have a requirement to implement a create a new site collection with dedicated content db. i have got 2 PowerShell scripts which does the same. first i will create a content db and then create the sitecollection with contentdb
parameter with the created contentdb name.
Now the site collection created must contain few doc libs and few splists with look up columns, people picker data type, multiline of text, single line of text,choice field. hence i am thinking the below approach:
1) create a web template and include sp doclibs, splists , site columns in this.
2) i am thinking of a ui design to create the below:
These are called "projects" which is actually the site collection with the doclibs, splists and must be created by sharepoint admin on click of a link in my landing page.end users access these "projects" aka
"site collections" and uploads the documents into these projects and collaborate.
so my question is : On click of a button can I create a site collection with a dedicated content db based on the web template created with the hel of server object model?
The other approach is on click of this button call the power shell script which accepts the sitecollection name and contentdb name as parameter. is this possible in server obj.model ?
passing a paramter from code behind- visual web part ui to power shell ?
and it should create the site collec based on the web template and create the content db.
my doubt #3 : will it not throw error "request timed out" when creating the site collec and contentdb from ui ?

Try below:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/21606/programmatically-create-a-site-collection-in-an-existing-mounted-content-databa
PowerShell is just a wrapper for the object model. You shouldn't need to reference PowerShell in your feature, just create the new site collection with C# inside your feature. There's a blog post here that illustrates some code that may get you started.

Conflict between Client object model and Item Updated Event Receiver in sharepoint 2010

Hello All,
As per my requirement I have a two custom list.
Agent Details
Port Name
Agent Details contains Agent code, Port Name, email, address and phone of Agent. Its possible that one Agent Code is connected with multiple Port Name.
Basically what I am doing is I am getting port name connected with Agent code, using jquery and bind those values with check box(using javascript created dynamically) and bind all with Div tag.
Now when my custom edit form of Agent list open up it shows me different port name binding with checkbox group.
when user select the check box and click confirm button my clicent object model script will run and add this selected value into Port Name list.
After confirm one more button named Save will enable asking user to edit the email, phone or address value and when I click on save my Item updated event fires which update the values of the selected port name(These port name I am getting from port
name list) to Agent Details custom list.
Now when I am trying to update the values my event receiver fires or some times it got stuck(not firing). So could you please help me the possible alternative for this requirements.
Can we user the Ecma Script(Client object model to preserve the value of selectec port) and Item updated event receiver on the same time?
Is anything am doing wrong then please guide me.

Hi,
As I understand, when you updated values in the agent details list the Item updated event receiver got stuck sometimes.
The item update event receiver will fire after the item has been saved, and the client object model script or the Ecma Script runs before the item is saved, so there is no conflict between the client object model script and item update event receiver.
You could find out the reason about the item update event receiver gets stuck by debugging the event receiver.
When you want to debug your event receivers, you have to attach to OWSTIMER.EXE and wait till they are executed. You can control this behavior using the Synchronization attribute. Also, if you’re looking for an easy way to debug an event receiver without
having to manually attach a debugger to your code, you can use the System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch() method.
The articles below are about how to debug in the event receiver in SharePoint 2010.

Trying to use Web LCID property to get the List name in client object Model

Hi ,
I am trying to change the "Personal Documents" list NoCrawl property under MySite using SharePoint Client Object Model. As we use web.Lists.GetByTitle("Personal
Documents"); method to get the list,but here problem is :for different language List name is in their language.So I tried to use LCID property of the WEB and
have taken key-value pair (PersonalSiteOnet_List_PersonalDocuments) from the resource file for that language from 14 hive.
Example:I have selected Spanish language .there are so many LCID for Spanish language but Microsoft has given only one language pack for Spanish.
Then,My Question is that
"All LCID for Spanish language are using same Spanish language pack dictionary file OR something else"

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that your requirement is getting list in different language.
Here are two ways for your reference:
1. We can use getById method instead, so that we can avoid the language issue.
2. We can use an array to store the different list name in different language in you JavaScript code, then use the code snippet below to get the list:
var userLcid =_spPageContextInfo.currentLanguage;
var localizedStrings = {
ListName: {
_1033: "EnglishName",
_3082: "SpanishName"
var listName=localizedStrings.ListName["_" + userLcid];
var list=web.Lists.getByTitle(listName);

ReportClientDocument object model, simple question

How can I modify report in runtime using RAS SDK (ReportClientDocument obj model)?
I tried several different ways to modify report (change date format of the field, change field width...), and nothing happens.
all properties seems to be changed but, reportdocument object remains unchanged.
here is the code I used:
               object path = (object)@"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11\Samples\EN\Reports\cr_ListOfLateFeesToBeExempted.rpt";
               ReportClientDocument crReportDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
               crReportDocument.ReportAppServer = "sizlak";
               crReportDocument.Open(ref path, 0);
               CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo();
               crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "***";
               crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "****";
               crConnectionInfo.UserID = "***";
               crConnectionInfo.Password = "***";
               TableLogOnInfos crTableLogonInfos = new TableLogOnInfos();
               crViewer.LogOnInfo = crTableLogonInfos;
               CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ReportObjects sss = crReportDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects();
               foreach(CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ReportObject ss in sss)
                    Response.Write("<br>" + ss.Kind);
                    if(ss.Kind == CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.CrReportObjectKindEnum.crReportObjectKindField)
                         CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject myField = crReportDocument.ReportDefinition.FindObjectByName(ss.Name) as CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject;
                         if(myField.FieldValueType == CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeDateField ||
                              myField.FieldValueType == CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeDateTimeField)
                              myField.Height=150;
                              myField.Format.HorizontalAlignment = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.CrAlignmentEnum.crAlignmentRight;
                              myField.FontColor.Color = 32000;
                              myField.Border.RightLineStyle = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.CrLineStyleEnum.crLineStyleDouble;
                              myField.Width = 2;
                              myField.Border.HasDropShadow = true;
               crViewer.ReportSource = crReportDocument;

hi, i am using jbuilder 2006 for my j2ee project.
i want to see the object model diagram which shows me
the whole existing project in one place stating how
objects are related. so ---
1. how can i do that in jbuilder?RTFM. If it's supported in the version of JBuilder you use (I think it's only supported in the enterprise edition) it will be mentioned in the manual.
2. are there any other good tools/softwares
available?yes.
3. any pointers for preparing this diagram is
appreciated.

Add multiple people using Javascript Client Object Model

I am trying to add multiple people to a SP column of type Person/Group i.e. people picker. I am able
to add one successfully using their userId, but HAVE no clue how to do that for multiple people. Here is the code for one user:
function UserDrop(e, toElement, listGuid, columnName) {
//EcmaScript Client Object Model
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getById(listGuid);
var item = list.getItemById(elementId);
//columnName is of type person/group and I am adding user //whose userId is 7
item.set_item(columnName, 7);
item.update();
// asynchronous call
ctx.executeQueryAsync(
function () { toElement.innerHTML = userLinkHtml; },
function () {alert ("Error")}
return false;
This works great and I can add user whose userId is 7, however I want to add multiple people like let's say users of user Ids 7 and 8.
Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.
There is a thread on this one but that's from .net COM which could accessed here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/5183e87c-ee1d-4594-9492-0dfdf6616cce

Hi ,
Can somebody let me know how the same(assigning the array values to lookup value field) can be achieved with multi-select lookup value. SP.FieldLookUpValue do not have any such methods like fromUser. Please help. Please find my code block below
clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
if (this.clientContext != undefined && clientContext != null) {
var webSite = clientContext.get_web();
oList = webSite.get_lists().getByTitle("Add New User");
$.urlParam = function(name){
var results = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
return results[1] || 0;
var itemid = parseInt($.urlParam('ID'));
var item = oList.getItemById(itemid);
var users = new Array();
users.push(SP.FieldLookupValue.set_lookupId(1));
users.push(SP.FieldLookupValue.set_lookupId(2));
item.set_item('Responsibility', users);
item.update();
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.success), Function.createDelegate(this, this.failed));
also i cant use managed client object model.. so pls let me know how to achieve the same using javascript client object model

Is there an Object Model documented somewhere?
