Bug: GetSelectedRanges after Select

[jykim]

Hi,

I have the following code to get selected ranges -

Code: Select all

Call CoPDFXCview1.DoDocumentVerb(0, "Pages", "GetSelectedRanges", vDataIn, vDataOut)
iFirstPage = Int(vDataOut(0))

This works well if I "select" some text through UI, but if I "select" some text programatically, like this -

Code: Select all

Call CoPDFXCview1.DoVerb("Documents[0].Pages[8].Text", "Select", vDataIn, vDataOut)

, and then call "GetSelectedRanges", the "vDataOut" variant is "empty".
Please let me know if you need more information to reproduce this problem.

Hi,

When you want to get selected ranges, you should also specify on which page you want to get selection. So your code should be

Code: Select all

Call CoPDFXCview1.DoDocumentVerb(0, "Pages[0].Text", "GetSelectedRanges", vDataIn, vDataOut)

- this will take selected range from first page.

Hi Corwin,

Based on Vasyl's comments in this thread http://www.docu-track.com/forum3/postin ... 36&p=31744, it it possible to use "GetSelectedRanges" without specifying the page.

Hi,
Additionally, new method will be added for obtain pages with selection, such as:

Code: Select all

DoDocumentVerb(docID, "Pages", "GetSelectedRanges", dataIn, dataOut, 0);
// we can obtain one(usually), two(and more) page-ranges(s):
int firstPageWithSel1 = dataOut[0];
int countPagesWithSel1 = dataOut[1];
int firstPageWithSel2 = dataOut[2];
int countPagesWithSel2 = dataOut[3];
...

Best
Regards

And, I have to use this so that I can get the page index, and then use "GetSelectedRanges" again with the page index to get the selection offset and length.

Like I said, it works when the selection is made by UI, but it doesn't work when the selection is made by programatically. That's why I thought there is a bug.

Ok, thanks for the report. This will be fixed in new build.
