SOLVED - How to capture drag and drop tab opening new window

[sherron_docit]

Hi there,

I have an application that uses the SDK.

I currently have an issue regarding dragging and dropping a document tab outside of the window spawning a new instance.

This feature is great, but the issue is that the new window has none of our customizations and is just the default PDF X-Change Editor.

In summary:
• Step 1 - Drag and drop a document tab outside of application
• Step 2 - Document opens up in a new instance - but it is the default application.

Is there any way to capture the event of drag and dropping a tab outside of the current window?

Ideally I would like to capture this and then open a second instance of my custom PDF editor with all of the correct branding and feature restrictions.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

To disable "tab out" thingie you can implement IEventHandler as in:

https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=33110&p=136767&hilit=IEventHandler#p136767

As for event to capture the tab out (creation of a new MainFrame) - maybe you can try (similar to above) with listening to "e.mainFrame.initialized" (I have not tested this).

Hi Zarko,

Unfortunately disabling the 'tab out' feature is not an option as users like the feature.

I will try and see if that works to capture it.

Thanks for the speedy reply!

I was able to capture the event 'e.mainFrame.initialized' which is being fired when the new window is created.

This is a great step in the right direction.

Now that I am able to capture it...
I need to find a way to access the document that is being opened, open that document in my custom editor, then kill the PDF-XChange Editor process.

This is an entirely different issue though, so I will mark this as solved for now and open another post if I need help with this.

Thanks,

Sam
