Annotation text input isn't recognized SOLVED

[DeKo]

Hello folks,

i have a tiny problem. In our software we have a list of documents and on the left side a control with the pdfx editor, that shows the selected item in the list. I've written a class that manages the control and checks if there is changes (for now only sticky notes are really relevant). So far so good. When i change the item in the list and there is change, i ask the user if he wants to save. Everything works as expected but one thing:

When i add a sticky note and write something in, and just right after finishing the text (clicking nowhere in the editor) i click on antoher item (thats in a grid in the same window) and click on Save, only a empty sticky note is saved. If i click somewhere in the editor before changing the item, the text is saved as expected.

What i want to know is: Is that intended? Do i miss something? Thanks in advance!

If anything is unclear, feel free to ask for more information.

Dennis

Hello Alex,

thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunatly none of the solutions seem to work for me.

EDIT (1h after initial answer):
This is how i save the document:

Code: Select all

            if(HasChanges)
            {
                //pdfCtl.Doc.ActiveView.PagesView.Obj.SetInputFocus();
                int eventID = pdfCtl.Inst.Str2ID("e.document.applyCachedChanges");
                
                IPXC_Document doc = pdfCtl.Doc.CoreDoc;
                
                IEvent evt = pdfCtl.Doc.EventServer.CreateNewEvent(eventID, 0, 0);
                pdfCtl.Doc.EventServer.FireEvent(evt, pdfCtl.Doc);
                
                IString isDest = pdfCtl.Inst.CreateString(dest);
                doc.WriteTo(isDest);
                doc.Close();
            }

I tried with everything related to the event commented out and like this (withSetInputFocus() commented out). Both doesn't recognize that something was typed into the input field of the sticky note.

Hello Dennis,

Well that could be because you are saving the IPXC_Document, not the IPXV_Document that you have. Try using this:
