Check if "bookmarksView.ensureVisibility" is ON (and vs. bookmarksView.autoExpandBookmarks) SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi Support,

Is there a way to quickly check if "bookmarksView.ensureVisibility" is "on" for a document's BookmarksView ?

What I'm doing right now: iterating over BookmarksView.CmdPaneTop's IUIX_CmdLines/IUIX_CmdBars, looking for (first) 'cmd.bookmarksView.ensureVisibility' command item and checking if UIX_CmdItemState_Checked is in its State.

Also: what's the real difference between what the following two commands do: "cmd.bookmarksView.autoExpandBookmarks" and "cmd.bookmarksView.ensureVisibility" ?

If bookmarksView.autoExpandBookmarks is "off" and "bookmarksView.ensureVisibility" is "on" -> moving through pages will still expand bookmarks and make the corresponding one visible.

Hello zarkogajic,

That way is OK for finding out the checked state.
The Auto Expand property won't always show the bookmark itself, although the parents will be opened. The ensure visibility makes sure that you will be seeing the bookmark itself in the Bookmarks View.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Ok, thanks.

Anyhow, no faster / more direct way to check than iterating and finding the command item and its state?

That's probably not how you do it internally

Hello zarkogajic,

Totally forgot about this...
You can just check these settings "BookmarksView.AutoExpandBookmarks", "BookmarksView.EnsureVisibility".

Hi Alex,

Thanks. That's it.

p.s.
Aha - that's a global setting - not per document. ok.

p.s.2
Then "BookmarksView.ShowInfoBar" also does this: viewtopic.php?f=66&t=34208

Yup

Hi Alex,

When setting

Inst.Settings['BookmarksView.EnsureVisibility'].v = true / false

do I need to call Inst.FireAppPrefsChanged? If so, with what parameters?

Or is Inst.FireAppPrefsChanged only to be called when changing settings that appear on the "Preferences..." dialog?

The thing is: when I change the 'BookmarksView.EnsureVisibility' from code, the command item (cmd.bookmarksView.ensureVisibility) does not reflect the new value (its state is not changed from normal to checked (and opposite).

Hello zarkogajic,

The e_bookmarks_ensureVisibility event needs to be fired - thus all of the Bookmark Views will be updated.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks, this seems to work.

Btw, "e.bookmarks.ensureVisibility" is not listed here https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... PXV_Events

When creating the event via Inst.EventServer.CreateNewEvent, can I use nParam1 and/or nParam2 to specify the needed value for 'BookmarksView.EnsureVisibility' ?

Or, I have to go with 2 lines every time I want to change the setting:

Code: Select all

  Inst.Settings['BookmarksView.EnsureVisibility'].v := true/false
  Inst.EventServer.FireEvent(IEvent(e_bookmarks_ensureVisibility), Inst); //note: some pseudo code

Hello zarkogajic,

Those two lines are needed - the event is being caught and then the Settings values is being read.

Cheers,
Alex

ok, case closed.
