cmd.document.signatures.placesign SOLVED

[prime clinical systems]

Hi, I need to know how to find if this tool has been activated, but I find that annot.type is "Stamp" and activetool = "Stamp"
I tried to check for event fired when button is clicked, but the e.newStampThumbs which fires is the same as for thumbs in stamps collection, so I need to find the cmd.ID I believe, but how do I get that, to test if equal to p_uiInst.CmdManager.cmd(frmPdfEditNew.PDF.Inst.Str2ID("cmd.document.signatures.placesign")).ID
Reason is I want to insert a time date stamp under this type of annotation, but not other stamp type annotations.
Thanks

Hello Clifford,

You can use the method described here:

Hi well, here I go again vb6, translated the code with a class in vb6 but can't get the onNotify to fire at all, so I guess I'll go the easy route and just add my own button to my own toolbar, and execute the action from there and hide on the toolbar. So hard this new control, before life was easy, sad to not have an event for button click directly that vb6 users could use, but oh well.

Hello Clifford,

Can you please give us your translated code so that we can test it in our environment?

Cheers,

Fast answer but please read my question first my friend. Cmd Handler does NOT work in vb6, does not fire the onNotify event at all, so to go around that, I wanted to execute the command and that way I would know what command was clicked,
Thanks

Why cannot you just fix the bug with the ExecUI command and be done with that, it does not execute, and I have wasted many many hours creating a separate class module to invoke the cmd handler, and oh well, I just want at least this to work.

Hello Clifford,

Replied you there. And again, I will ask you for your IUIX_CmdHandler class implementation if you want us to investigate this issue, because we are not VB6 experts and we will spend much time to translate it.
As for the handler itself, by inspecting the command itself, from what I see, you will have to monitor a OnGetItemSubMenu method.

By the way, searching in the events list I found these two undocumented events:
e.uiCmdBeforeExecute = 2391
e.uiCmdExecuted = 2392

Neither fires clicking any of the buttons, are they supposed to? would be great if they did, to avoid the cmdhandler issue

Hello Clifford,

I will quote myself again:

You cannot execute a command that does nothing - it's only a submenu container that's all.

That command is not being executed thus the events are not being fired. As fro the documentation - I've done first half of the Events - working on the second one.

Cheers,
Alex

Again, there are not any commands that fire those events, not one, and fine, I'll let it alone

These events are being fired before and after the execution of the commands not the popup menu showing.

Cheers,

Try it, no not one of them fires, I clicked every button on the cmd bars, not one fires, but just drop it, just going to eliminate this feature

Have you enabled this event for listening in the IPXV_Control?

[prime clinical systems]

on loading the project I loop through every single event found, and enable it, and I tried the OnGetItemSubMenu does not fire either, so I give up, thanks anyway.
For j = 1 To 10000
sString = PDF.Inst.ID2Str(j)
Call PDF.EnableEventListening2(j, True)
' If Err.Number = 0 Then
' Debug.Print i, sString
' End If
Err.Clear

Next j

Well then that's something VB6 related then - all of my advised methods work well in C#/C++.
