View - Other Panes - Links SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi devs,

I'm displaying the command bars by using PXV_Control1.VisibleCmdPanes := 1;

I was playing to see what UI elements (panes) are there and the Links pane looked interesting. It displayed but with no link info (I had a document loaded with links).

I've then started the "end-user" Editor to see how Links pane works - all the links (with their info) were displayed. Good

Now, I can no longer get it to appear in my application testing the SKD!

Selecting it from the menu does nothing.

Any idea? What steps are required to get the Link pane displayed and populated with links?

Additionally: where do I find pane names to use with: PXV_Control1.ShowPane(PANE_NAME, true, true);

As this list is not complete: https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... l_ShowPane (missing "links pane" obviously).

Hello žarko,

Updated the panes list.
Just tried loading a sample document in the FullDemo - all of the links were loaded correctly.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

I've just downloaded the FullDemo from GIT, run it in Visual Studio, C#. I'm building for x86.

After loading a document, trying to display the links pane - does nothing. The menu item does not get ticked and of course is not set visible.

I have the end-user application also installed version 8.0.332.0. Using the end-user version - the links pane does get visible.

I'm attaching a video.

I guess this has to do something with having both the end-user application and doing tests with the ActiveX version, since when I have the end-user app running and altering the state of links pane, at some point it will finally start and then stop working correctly in the ActiveX control - I just cannot figure out what exact steps are needed to reproduce.

Hello žarko,

That is strange - I will try to prepare a small testing app for you to run and see whether this reoccurs.

Alex,

Any news here?

What I have at the moment: two buttons each one has a call to OpenDocFromPath (only code).

Click the first button: document opens. I try to show the Links pane - no go.

Click the second button: (second) document opens. I try to show the Links Pane: works!

But:

Links pane states : 78 items - but none displayed.

Closing both tabs. Opening both documents (again): all ok.

Hello žarko,

Please try scrolling the pane, closing and opening it, minimizing and maximizing the Control's window and see how this pane reacts.

Cheers,
Alex

Alex,

Tried. Sorry, no change. Only if I close a document and re-open the links pane get correctly populated.

Hello žarko,

Investigated further and found out that it's also a bug in the End-User Editor. Hopefully fixed this, though the fix will be available from the next build.

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks Alex,

Next build is due when (if known)?

Hi zarkogajic,

we do not yet have an ETA for the next build. Having just released 8.0.333.0 recently I am expecting to see a couple of months go by before the next build.

Unless some critical bug rears it's ugly head, we have a general rule to release every few months. We do reserve the right to change that based on the workload at hand of course.

I hope that helps.

[zarkogajic]

Ok, fair enough.
