Hello. I'm new here but it seems to be the only place where I can post this question to.
I'm working in a C# application that uses InDesign CS3 scripting. I'm trying to create an index automatically from a tabbed list of words in a text file.
As C# is a strongly typed language, I have to cast all objects to the right type. I'm having problems when I try to add the page numbers to the created index entries using the following code (I've used the CreateIndexEntry.jsx scrip as a starting point).
//Find all occurrences of the word or set of words (the topic name)
((InDesign.FindTextPreference) app.FindTextPreferences).FindWhat = topic.Name;
InDesign.Objects foundTexts = doc.FindText(System.Reflection.Missing.Value);
It's supposed to be an Array of Text objects (InDesign.Text) but when I try to cast each object using this
//Code is forced because I've tried everything here
//Loop through each finding and add page numbers to topic
IEnumerator textEnum = foundTexts.GetEnumerator();
while (textEnum.MoveNext())
object text = textEnum.Current;
topic.PageReferences.Add((InDesign.Text)text, InDesign.idPageReferenceType.idCurrentPage, System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value);
I got the following exception (translated).
text is not an InDesign.Text object (Interfaces doesn't match)
So the question is what object type should I use to cast each object resulting by calling the Document's FindText method.
Every suggestion will ve very welcome.
Thank You very much.
