How can I allow Copy, Cut, Paste keyboard shortcuts?

[Dorwol]

Hello,

I need to allow Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V only - NO other Shortcuts (like Ctrl+S...)!

But "AllowAllAccelerators" allows ALL Shortcuts and if I disable "AllowAllAccelerators" then I see no way to catch this Shortcuts because there are no KeyPress or KeyDown/Up Events exist!

So please HOW can I allow Copy, Cut, Paste keyboard shortcuts?

Thank you very much

Hi,
You can clear unnecessary shortcuts using the "Customize" dialog (right click on menu -> Customize->Commands).

After that you should export these revised settings, and import them on starting your program.

HTH.

Maybe disabling/enabling commands instead of their shortcuts will be more useful?

OK, but HOW can I do that "BY CODE"? Because my customers will not have YOUR User-Interface.

How to Im-/Export a shortcut-List ??? And what is, if you spend a new shortcut in future release? How can I detect this?

OK, also a way. But can I make a Loop by code through all Shortcuts? Because I will be sure for future Releases of your AX, that I ONLY activate my allowed shortcuts.

...something like this (pseudo code):

For i = 1 to Commands.Count
If Commands(i).HasShortcut And Commands(i).Name <> "Cut" Then
Commands(i).Enabled = False
End If
Next

When you export settings you will also export all keyboard shortcuts that you have manually configured.
How to export or import settings you can see in PDF-XChange Viewer SDK sample projects.

Code: Select all

Call CoPDFXCview1.SaveSettings("c:\settings.dat")
Call CoPDFXCview1.LoadSettings("c:\settings.dat")

For now that is the only way to configure Viewer shortcuts.

When you export settings you will also export all keyboard shortcuts that you have manually configured.

OK, I do understand now. Is there a better customizing for developers planned in the near future?

THank you

Good news - this feature will be available in new build.

Good news - this feature will be available in new build.

What about functions like :

object GetAnnotationdetails() // Signature // Comment // Stamp // ...etc.

I know I can do this using RunJS, but I use JavaScript to develope my application (I can't get result of runing script !!). Are you planing to add this feature in next build ??

[Dorwol]

Good news - this feature will be available in new build.

Hello Corwin,

which new build do you mean?

The new v2.0.0042.4? In your "Version History" is nothing about the new version, so I can't see, if this feature is implemented now.

And please how can I handle this feature? I found nothing in your PDF-Help.

[Vasyl - PDF-XChange]

You can use this feature, it is already in 42.4.

To disable the command shortcut, call:

Code: Select all

SetProperty("Commands[#CmdID].Shortcut.Key", 0);

[Dorwol]

Thank you, but it does not work with v2.0.42.4.

My Code is...

Code: Select all

vDataIn = 0
CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty "Commands[#57637].Shortcut.Key", vDataIn

...but Paste is still possible by Ctrl+V.

----------------

BTW: However, I think that it would be better, if the operation would reverse. I Mean that I do not deactivate but activate for a better controlling of my application. So first I disable "Allow All Accelerators" and then only allow shortcuts, they I realy needed.

At your variant I MUST KNOW ALL OF YOUR possible shortcuts to prevent these. Then I must disable ALL. Many work and if you add some new shortcuts in future builds (they I dont know), I have a big problem...
(Hope you understand my english).

Hi Dorwol,

To clear shortcut you should set to zero "Shortcut.Key" and "Shortcut.Modifiers" properties of specified command. For example:

Code: Select all

CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty "Commands[#57637].Shortcut.Modifiers", 0
CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty "Commands[#57637].Shortcut.Key", 0

You can also clear shortcuts for all commands by using next code:

Code: Select all

 Dim str As String
 Dim vDataOut As Variant
 vDataOut = 0
 Dim bsName As String
 bsName = "Commands.Count"
 Dim nCount As Integer
 nCount = 0
 Call CoPDFXCview1.GetProperty(bsName, vDataOut, 0)
 nCount = Int(vDataOut)

 For i = 0 To nCount - 1
     str = "Commands[" & i & "].Shortcut."
     Call CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty(str + "Modifiers", 0, 0)
     Call CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty(str + "Key", 0, 0)
 Next

HTH

...

FANTASTIC! BIG THX!

[Dorwol]

Code: Select all

CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty "Commands[#57637].Shortcut.Modifiers", 0
CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty "Commands[#57637].Shortcut.Key", 0

Please believe me, "Copy", "Paste", "Cut", "Undo", "Redo" ...and some more are still possible.
Try it and you'll see, that "Ctrl+C", "Ctrl+V" and "Ctrl+X" and some more are still activated!!!
All the other shortcuts seems to be deactivated!?!

---

And another big problem is, that the shortcuts fires very very rapid.

In the same second I press "Ctrl+Z", aLL my changes are completely Undo - like "Undo All"!

[Corwin - Tracker Sup]

Ok, we will try to fix this in new build.
Thanks.

[Dorwol]

Thank you.

For your Information: The bug with rapidly Undo/Redo-shortcuts is NOT in v2.0.42.3. It is only in the currently v2.0.42.4

Hope this info will help you!

Thanks Dorwol, investigating ...

This issue will be fixed in the next build. Please wait..

Thanks.

And new feature will be added into next build.
In next build you will be able to disable/enable shortcut for specified command by code:

Code: Select all

SetProperty("Commands["Copy"].Shortcut.Use", "true"|"false", 0);

by default this property means 1("true") for all commands.

Wow!
