FindDocBySrcFileName2 returning null for opened document SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi,

I'm trying to check if a document (IPXV_Document) is already opened in the control by a file name.

I'm intercepting the e.document.beforeRunAction for a Link annotation, getting the target document if GoToR, and trying to see if the target document is already opened.

I'm using FindDocBySrcFileName2 with Get_WinPath from IPXC_FileSpec returned from Get_Target of the IPXC_Action_Goto.

FindDocBySrcFileName2 is returning null for a document that IS opened.

Also, if FindDocBySrcFileName2 is not to be used, how do I go from IPXC_FileSpec to IAFS_File (for FindDocBySrcFile) or IAFS_Name (for FindDocBySrcFileName) ?

Hello zarkogajic,

Try using the get_DIPath method of the IPXC_FileSpec interface and then pass it to the FindDocBySrcFileName2 method with bDIPath set to true.
Also, here's how to convert string to IAFS_Name:

Hi Alex,

Thanks.

I ended up iterating over all docs in Instance and comparing my fileName with aDoc.CoreDoc.SrcInfo.ActualFileName.

That way I can look up only for documents opened in the same frame where I want the fileName to be opened.

A question though: since there is a way to open the same document multiple times (even in the same Frame): all of those Inst.FindDocBySrcXXX will return the first document found, correct?

Hello zarkogajic,

Nope, you can duplicate the tab - then there will be two of the same documents.

Yes, and Inst.FindDocBySrcXXX will find only the "first" one of them ....

Hello zarkogajic,

Of course, if you just need to see whether that document was already opened - that will work for you.
