Its possible. The working example(C#):

Code: Select all

PDFXEdit.IPXV_View searchView = pdfCtl.Inst.ActiveMainView.Panes.Active[pdfCtl.Inst.Str2ID("searchView")];
if (searchView != null)
{
    System.IntPtr p;
    searchView.Obj.QueryImpl(typeof(PDFXEdit.IUIX_Dialog).GUID, null, out p);

    PDFXEdit.IUIX_Dialog dlg = (PDFXEdit.IUIX_Dialog)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(p);
    if (dlg != null)
    {
        PDFXEdit.IUIX_Obj ctlObj = dlg.GetItem("cb.where");
        if (ctlObj != null)
        {
            ctlObj.QueryImpl(typeof(PDFXEdit.IUIX_Combo).GUID, null, out p);
            PDFXEdit.IUIX_Combo ctl = (PDFXEdit.IUIX_Combo)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(p);
            if (ctl != null)
            {
                ctl.RemoveItem(ctl.Count - 1); // remove 'Browse for Folder' item
                ctl.RemoveItem(ctl.Count - 1); // remove redundant separator
            }
        }
    }
}

I have another question

How to hide this icon

[Sasha - Tracker Dev Team]

Hello kinwind,

When you open the document, you'll need to remove the flag from the DocViewsArea panes layout:

Code: Select all

PDFXEdit.IUIX_Layout layout = pdfCtl.Inst.MainFrm[0].View.DocViewsArea.Panes.Layout;
if (layout.Root.Count > 0)
	layout.Root[0].SetStyle(0, (int)PDFXEdit.UIX_LayoutItemStyleFlags.UIX_LayoutItemStyle_AddNewTabBtn);

For this you will need to listen to the e.document.initialized with your Control. You can find may samples on this forum how to listen to the events or try our FullDemo project and look at the pdfCtl_OnEvent method.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi, Alex
thank you.

But, I still found the "AddNewTabBtn" icon when I open the document at the first time.

layout.Root.Count is 0 when I open document at the first time.

Hello kinwind,

I've just tested that - indeed the tabs area is not loaded yet at that point of the program workflow. The e.document.viewingStarted event does the trick though.

Cheers,
Alex

Regarding the option to hide "Browse for Folder" where is the best place in code to perform this function? I have a method that works and is called from frmMain.Load() but it only works if the editor is started with the search already open.

Is there a better place to make the call to disable this feature or an alternate method?

Thanks.

... but it only works if the editor is started with the search already open.

Its strange because I tried to call such code just after:

PDFXEdit.PXV_Inst Inst = new PDFXEdit.PXV_Inst()
Inst.Init(...);
..
MyForm::InitializeComponent(); // here AxPDFXEdit.AxPXV_Control pdfCtl member is created and initialized

// here is code to removing 'Browse for Folder'

- and all works properly, even if Search pane is hidden (by default). Please provide simple example project to reproduce the problem...

Hello,

If you create a .NET Windows Application, add the control to the form, the control name is called pdfCtrl. We are using v.317, this is the best I can provide at this time.


Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Me.HideSearchBrowseByFolder()
End Sub

Private Sub HideSearchBrowseByFolder()

Try
'Code retrieved from search terms 'Search Pane hide some option'
'https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... ch#p102173

Dim searchView As PDFXEdit.IPXV_View = pdfCtrl.Inst.ActiveMainView.Panes.Active(pdfCtrl.Inst.Str2ID("searchView"))

If searchView IsNot Nothing Then

Dim p As System.IntPtr
searchView.Obj.QueryImpl(GetType(PDFXEdit.IUIX_Dialog).GUID, Nothing, p)

Dim dlg As PDFXEdit.IUIX_Dialog = DirectCast(System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(p), PDFXEdit.IUIX_Dialog)

If dlg IsNot Nothing Then
Dim ctlObj As PDFXEdit.IUIX_Obj = dlg.GetItem("cb.where")

If ctlObj IsNot Nothing Then
ctlObj.QueryImpl(GetType(PDFXEdit.IUIX_Combo).GUID, Nothing, p)

Dim ctl As PDFXEdit.IUIX_Combo = DirectCast(System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(p), PDFXEdit.IUIX_Combo)

If ctl IsNot Nothing Then
ctl.RemoveItem(ctl.Count - 1)
' remove 'Browse for Folder' item
' remove redundant separator
ctl.RemoveItem(ctl.Count - 1)
End If
End If
End If
End If

Catch ex As Exception
mWriteLog(1, "HideSearchBrowseByFolder(): An error has occured.")
mGenericError(ex)
End Try

If you running your code step-by-step the code:

Code: Select all

ctl.RemoveItem(ctl.Count - 1)
' remove 'Browse for Folder' item
' remove redundant separator
ctl.RemoveItem(ctl.Count - 1)

- is executed as well or not(skipped by conditions above)?

[docu-track99]

Hello,

When I call this method from frmMain.Load() and the Search Pane is closed the method executes to remove the items but the items are not removed. The combobox control does have a count of 4 items but removing the last two items does not work.

When the Search pane is open and the same method is executed from frmMain.Load() then the items are removed.

How can I detect that the search Pane has opened so I can then remove the "Browse for Folder"? This is a bug in 317, is there a newer version?

Can you provide simple example project to reproduce the issue? Because I tried it in our FullDemo project and all works well even I called this special code in MainFrame() constructor, just after 'InitializeComponent();' line (in that case the pdf-control is embedded and Search pane is hidden, by default)...
