Opening (+converting) non PDF documents when custom handling the cmd.open command SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi support,

I'm custom handling the cmd.open command so I can allow multiple copies of the same file to be opened (and decide into what MainFrame to open a document)...

I'm using IPXC_Inst's OpenDocumentFromFile to open pdf documents.

Now, if a document is not a PDF this will fail and I need to use ImportConverters and do all the conversion from code.

Since there's a lot that needs to be done (locate appropriate converter, progress bar and the stuff) - that's a lot of coding.

Is there a single method to be called that would do the conversion internally (as it gets done when not custom handling the cmd.open). So, something like "OpenDocumentFromFile(convertIfNeeded, ...)"

?

If not, and I need to do all from code, can I at least use some standard stuff like progress bar (IProgressMon) when calling IPXV_ImportConverter.Convert().

?

Hi,

To answer my question:

The trick is not to use OpenDocumentFromFile, but the "op.openDoc" operation.

The op.OpenDoc does the same but using internal callbacks for progress and password if needed and also for conversion to PDF from other document types.
