v8 vs v9 : IPXV_View (Get_StateFlags, IsDuplicate, OnBeforeSaveSession and Close) SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi Support,

Moving from v8 to v9...

IPXV_View has 4 additional methods to be implemented (for my custom Pane code): Get_StateFlags, IsDuplicate, OnBeforeSaveSession and Close.

Can you provide more info on those 4?

Hello zarkogajic,

When we are talking about the IPXV_DocumentView, then:
get_StateFlags will return PXV_ViewState_Modified when the IPXV_Document is modified.
IsDuplicate - used for checking whether the given view is a duplicate of the passed view. It will first compare the view pointers, then the IDs and then the IPXV_Documents. If neither are equal then it's not a duplicate.
OnBeforeSaveSession - will check for save before close. First it will fire the e_document_applyCachedChanges event, then if the IPXV_Document is closing right now it will fire the id_e_document_beforeClose event. After that if the document is not modified it will return here. If the document is modified it will call the IPXV_Document::Save method.
This is now being called when all of the documents are being closed when the last session is being restored by the End-User Editor only.
Close - will close the current view.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks.

And what if we are talking about creating custom panes : https://github.com/tracker-software/PDFEditorSDKExamples/tree/master/CSharp/CustomPane

How would you implement those 4 methods in "CustomPaneContainer"?

p.s.
Actually asking to update that sample

Hello zarkogajic,

For custom panes - you can skip implementing those - they won't be needed in that case.
