Get notified when PropertiesView pane changes its "source" SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi support,

The Properties pane displays properties of various elements: bookmarks, pages, annotations, comments, selected text...

Is there an event to catch to get notified when the Properties pane changes its "source" (and of course to know what the source is)?

Hello žarko,

The properties pane changes on the selection change. Basically, you will have to monitor the https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... on_changed event and then use https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... _ActiveSel to extract the needed data.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks.

How do I extract what type of selection is currently active: say I'm selecting something in panes: Bookmarks, PageContent or Links. I do not see how to extract that info from IPXV_DocSelection.

Or when I'm actually selecting something on a page: is it a text selection or link selected or comment...

Hello žarko,

The IPXV_DocSelection interface has the ID of the selection that should be used for correct casting. Here are the selection types:

Code: Select all

selection.pages
selection.annots
selection.bookmarks
selection.text
selection.pageRect
selection.contentItems
selection.pdfNamedDests
selection.attachments
selection.ocg
selection.guides

Cheers,
Alex
