Fill the text in search panel and start search programmatically SOLVED

[Fanski]

I can’t figure out how to set the search text in the search panel and than start the search programmatically.
Could you give me an example? (c# maybe )

Hello Fanski,

We do offer some samples on our GitHub, including a FullDemo for the Editor SDK in C#, Have you already looked through these to see if what you needed is available there?

I hope this helps!

Hello Daniel,

thenks for your answer.
In the demo i only can find, how to toggle the panel on and off (Show Search pane)
I cant find, how to fill the “Search text” field, and how to perform the search after this.
if i missed it, could you send me a screenshot where i can find it in the demo?

In the PdfXChange Viewer it worked like this:

Code: Select all

 axCoPdfxCview.SetProperty("View.Bars[\"Find\"].Visible", "True", 0);
 axCoPdfxCview.SetProperty("View.Panes[\"Search\"].Visible", "True", 0);
 axCoPdfxCview.SetProperty("Search.What.Text", searchString, 0);
 object vDataOut;
 axCoPdfxCview.DoVerb(null, "ExecuteCommand", 32977, out vDataOut, 0);

Hi Alex,

thank you for your help.
I missed the example "FullDemo.Fixed.zip"

If someone else needs this, here is the code you need:

Code: Select all

        public void Search(string text)
        {
            string js = GetJavascript(text);

            axPxvControl.Inst.ExecuteJS(axPxvControl.Doc,
                js,
                PXV_ActionTriggerClass.PAEC_Console,
                PXV_ActionTriggerSubclass.PAESC_Exec,
                null);
        }

        private static string GetJavascript(string searchText)
        {
            StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
            script.AppendLine("search.refine = false;");
            script.AppendLine("search.matchCase = false;");
            script.AppendLine(string.Format("search.query(\"{0}\", \"ActiveDoc\");", searchText));
            return script.ToString();
        }

I have a problem with my solution.
I open the PDF Editor is a second Form. After using, i dospose the PdfEditor Control and dispose the Form.
When i open the Form a second time (and initialize the PDF Editor again) there is always an exception, when i use JS.
Without JS there are no Problems but JS throws this Exception that i even can’t catch:

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt

This is the line of code throwing this exception:

Code: Select all

axPxvControl.Inst.ExecuteJS(axPxvControl.Doc,
    js,
    PXV_ActionTriggerClass.PAEC_Console,
    PXV_ActionTriggerSubclass.PAESC_Exec,
    null);

I'm using Version SDK 8.0.333.0
