annotation set_actions in vb.Net

[EricAriens]

Hi,

I got some example code from you guys in c#. No problem with it.
Now I want to translate the code to vb.Net and one method does not exists int vb.Net(method set_Actions().
This is the code I got from you:

Code: Select all

//Filling the annotation with needed text
PDFXEdit.IPXC_ActionsList AL = pdfCtl.Doc.CoreDoc.CreateActionsList();
AL.AddURI("https://www.google.nl");
pAnnot.set_Actions(PDFXEdit.PXC_TriggerType.Trigger_Up, AL);

This is what I made of it. Is this correct?

Code: Select all

pAnnot.Actions(PDFXEdit.PXC_TriggerType.Trigger_Up).Add("https://www.google.nl")

I already found out it is not. "pAnnot.Actions(PDFXEdit.PXC_TriggerType.Trigger_Up)" is Nothing so this is not the solution.

Code: Select all

annot.Actions(PDFXEdit.PXC_TriggerType.Trigger_Up) = pdfCtl.Doc.CoreDoc.CreateActionsList()

Does not instantiate the trigger_up actions.

Hi,

The same goes for method set_Border() on IPXC_AnnotData_Link

Hello Eric,

The problem is how the C# interprets our dll's interfaces' properties when you add it as a reference to the project. Judging from your tests, the vb.net and C# declaration sometimes can differ. That is a known problem and what you've written should be correct if it compiles and works.

Hi,

I have some more information.
The proper way to initialize is the next:

Code: Select all

Dim actionList As IPXC_ActionsList
actionList = PDFViewer.Doc.CoreDoc.CreateActionsList()
actionList.AddURI(url)
annot.Actions(PDFXEdit.PXC_TriggerType.Trigger_Up) = actionList

Assigning the CreateActionList() to the Actions does not work.

Code: Select all

annot.Actions(PDFXEdit.PXC_TriggerType.Trigger_Up) = PDFViewer.Doc.CoreDoc.CreateActionsList()    <-- This does not work (no compile errors)

Hello Eric,

This behavior occurs because you're assigning an empty list.
