show-hide panes

[charuvasudev]

Hi,

I am not able to find IDs of panes that open from quick-tool bar like accessibilty check, accessibility report, links, order and article. In the following link these are not listed. Cannot find anything in fulldemo project.

hi,

Pls advise what IDs I should pass to pdfcontl.showpane(ID, False) method to hide-windows that open from 'Accessibility reports', 'Accessibility Checker','Order','Tags','3d model tree', 'Destination' buttons in quick tool bar on the left side of the control.. All the IDs are not listed in you documentation.

Hi charuvasudev,

I have given the development team a nudge on this.

Kind regards,

Hi charuvasudev,

Here is the list of pane IDs you requested:
Title - ID
"Links" - linksView
"Accessibility Report" - accReportView
"Accessibility Checker" - accCheckerView
"Order" - orderView
"Tags" - tagsView
"3D Model Tree" - 3DModelTreeView
"Named Destinations" - pdfNamedDestsView

ShowPane requires a string as a parameter, or the identical method ShowPane2 to pass the ID as a number.

For example:

Code: Select all

// 1.
pdfCtl.ShowPane("pdfNamedDestsView", true, true);
// 2.
int nPaneID = pdfCtl.Inst.Str2ID("pdfNamedDestsView");
pdfCtl.ShowPane2(nPaneID, true, true);

Please let me know if this works for you.

Kind regards,
Misha

Hi,

Thank you for the IDs. I also need to hide the buttons at the bottom of the panel. Pls see the attached screenshot.
I am using pdf xchange at multiple places in my application. For each instance of control, I have to show/hide some panels and commandbars/toolsbars etc. Many years back I faced the issue where hiding/showing a command button at one place would hide/show it in other also. So your team gave us the following code- to hide attachmentview -
Dim atchview As PDFXEdit.IUIX_Obj = pdfctrl.Inst.MainFrm(i).View.DocViewsArea.ActiveDocView.Doc.ActiveView.AttachmentsView.Obj
Dim atch As PDFXEdit.IUIX_LayoutItem = pdfctrl.Inst.MainFrm(i).View.Panes.Layout.GetItem(atchview)
atch.Hide()
where i is the counter for the instance.
Using the above code I have hidden most of the views. But some are still showing. I have attached here a screenshot. I would like to hide 'Fields','3dModeltree', 'tags', 'order','Accessibilty Checker', 'Accessibilty Report'
pls guide.

Hi charuvasudev,

Have you tried using the ShowPane methods?
To hide a pane, simply pass the opposite value as the second argument.

The code fragment you provided performs the same action; however, the ShowPane methods correctly handle both cases - when the pane is part of the MainView or the DocView.

Kind regards,
Misha

Hi,

Yes, I have hidden the above panes using showpane method. I was calling this method in New() function of the class and it was not hiding the pans. Today I tried calling 'Showpane' from load() function and panes are now hidden successfully.

Thank you for your help. You can consider the query resolved.
