Getting aware of the selection of an annotation

[anti_g]

Hi guys,

first of all, congratulations to your long awaited new build, even if it lets some of the issues open.

Now my question, is it possible to get some event when the user clicks on an annotation (highlight or stickernote doesn't matter) and the annotation gets that dashed line around it?
I want to enable/disable some menu items depending on that selection.

Thanks,
Anton.

Hello Anton.
No we don’t have such events, but we will try to add this in near future (maybe in next few builds).

Just wanted to see what the progress/status of this feature might be. I'm logging all OnEvent(...) information in my test application and do not see any notifications when an annotation is selected. I too need to configure context menus/toolbars accordingly. If this could be in V3.0, that would be great.

Just FYI, I do have full mouse logging turned on.

Unfortunately, but no there is no easy way for this in current realization.

1. You may turn on selection notifications by:

Code: Select all

SetProperty("Notifications.Selection.Filter", "Annotations",0);

after this you will be able to get the necessary events through IPDFXCviewEvents::OnEvent routine.

2. and use java-script(RunJavaScript function) for details about a selected annotation(or to modify it), such as:

Code: Select all

var annots = this.selectedAnnots;
annots[0].subject; // for example

3. and switch off/on any UI-command:

Code: Select all

SetProperty("Commands["Copy"].State", "offline",0);
SetProperty("Commands["Paste"].State", "offline",0);
SetProperty("Commands["Delete"].State", "offline",0);

This will help. Thanks.
