Custom icon on document's Tab SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi support,

Can a custom icon be specified for document's tab, and changed from code (add/remove/change icon) when needed?

So, something like the icon that appears by default for protected documents.

Hello žarko,

This is not available via the SDK, though I will ask whether we can add this to the IUIX_LayoutItem methods in the future.

Cheers,

Hello žarko,

These methods will be available from the next release for the IUIX_LayoutItem interface:

Code: Select all

HRESULT TitlePrefix([out, retval] BSTR* pVal);
HRESULT TitlePrefix([in] BSTR sVal);
HRESULT TitlePrefixIcon([out, retval] IUIX_Icon** ppIcon);
HRESULT TitlePrefixIcon([in] IUIX_Icon* pIcon);

HRESULT TitleSuffix([out, retval] BSTR* pVal);
HRESULT TitleSuffix([in] BSTR sVal);
HRESULT TitleSuffixIcon([out, retval] IUIX_Icon** ppIcon);
HRESULT TitleSuffixIcon([in] IUIX_Icon* pIcon);

HRESULT TitlePrefixMixColor([out, retval] LONG* pVal);
HRESULT TitlePrefixMixColor([in] LONG nVal); // RGBA

HRESULT TitleSuffixMixColor([out, retval] LONG* pVal);
HRESULT TitleSuffixMixColor([in] LONG nVal); // RGBA

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Support,

Is this a part of the 335 release? Not listed here: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/produc ... or/history

Edit (after installing the 335 version): yes a part of it

Edit2: I've tried setting TitlePrefix for a document tab - but nothing happens. Do I need to do additional calls after(?):

Code: Select all

PDFXEdit.IPXV_Document doc = pdfCtl.Doc;
PDFXEdit.IPXV_DocumentView docView = doc.ActiveView;
PDFXEdit.IUIX_LayoutItem layoutItem = docView.Obj.Parent.LI;

layoutItem.TitlePrefix = "prefix"; //<- no changes to tab title

Only If I also do layoutItem.Title = "something new" - then the title will change and also include the prefix.

Edit3:

The prefix goes directly before title, while suffix has a space before the title (by design?). Also, suffix seems to be in bold style (by design, cannot change?). In all above cases (prefix, suffix, icons, colors), the title must be set to something different than the current title - for the tab display to be updated.

All in all, a handy new feature

Hello žarko,

This should not be like this - we'll think what can be done with the space and the bold font and also the update should happen after you set prefix/suffix - this should be fixed from our side.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi support,

I'm trying to apply custom icon/prefix/suffix to a pane (any in Frame.View.Panes collection) - it seems this is not implemented?

Hello žarko,

Can you make a screenshot on where do you want to place a icon?

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Any pane in the MainView's Panes collection:

Code:

Code: Select all

  view : IPXV_View;
  li : IUIX_LayoutItem;
...
  view := pxv.Frame.View.Panes.Active[PDFXHelper.Inst.Str2ID('searchView', false)];
  if Assigned(view) then
  begin
    li := pxv.Frame.View.Panes.Layout.GetItem(view.Obj);
    if Assigned(li) then
    begin
      ttl := li.Title;
      li.Title := '';
      li.TitlePrefixIcon := PDFXHelper.InstUI.Theme.GetIcon('ico.oneDrive');
      li.TitlePrefix := 'prefix';
      li.Title := 'new ' + ttl;
    end;
  end;

Hello žarko,

The layout suffix/prefix icon goes here (same as document):

Cheers,
Alex

[zarkogajic]

Hi Alex,

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your answer

So, prefix/suffix/icon cannot be set for a LayoutItem for an arbitrary pane (IPXV_View) [even though I have access to pane's LayoutItem and can change the title in that way] ?

Hello žarko,

The icon won't be set in the header of the layout item, but in the tab of the layout item. Though I'm not sure whether this will work for panes at all, as we did not yet tried this from our native code except for document tabs.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks. I was hoping it will work for any IUIX_LayoutItem as stated by previous post in this topic.

Anyhow, I wanted to add a custom icon to my custom pane's title "bar" ....

Hello žarko,

Well I'm afraid that there is no such a method in the SDK.
