Extract Pages Dialog From Thumbnail Context View Menu

[dconner]

Hi Guys,

When you right-click over the thumbnails in and select "extract pages..." from the pop-up context view, is it possible to trap the dialog and show your own form instead?

If not by your code then, is it okay to just trap the created form, using windows messages, to force it closed, and then show a custom form instead?


Thanks,

Dave

Hi, Dave.

Sorry but not easy way for that. You may replace existing context menu by your own by intercepting the notify:

Code: Select all

OnEvent(type, name.. )
{
      if (type == PXCVA_OnNamedNotify AND name == "Notifications.ContextMenu")
      {
           string menuName;
           pdfViewer.GetProperty("Notifications.ContextMenu", out menuName, 0);
           if (menuName == "Thumbnails")
           {
                 menu = CreateMenu(menuItems);
                 int id = TrackPopupMenu(menu, ReturnCmd=true); 
                 if (id == 0)
                   return;
                 if (id == 36038) // extract pages
                 {     
                      // show your own dialog, setup params in "Operations.ExtractPages" location and execute ''ExtractPages" operation with NoUI flag
                      id = -1; // to prevent default processing
                 }
                 pdfViewer.SetProperty("Notifications.ContextMenu.UserChoice", id, 0); // to continue default processing
           }
      }
}

int menuItems[] =
{
     36037, // Insert Pages...
     36038, // Extract Pages...
     36038, // Extract Pages...
     36039, // Replace Pages..
     33081, // Delete Pages..
     0, // separator
     33080, // Rotate Pages..
     33082, // Crop Pages...
     0, // sep
     57607, // Print..
     32945, // Export to Images..
     0, // sep
     33413, // Zoom In
     33414, // Zoom Out
     0, // sep
     36548, // Highlight Visible Area
     36549, // Interactive Highlighted Area
     0, // sep
     33003, // Properties...
};

HTH.

Hey guys, I tried it out in C# and this is what I got:

private void axCoPDFXCview2_OnEvent(object sender,
AxPDFXCviewAxLib._IPDFXCviewEvents_OnEventEvent e)
{
if (e.name == "Notifications.ContextMenu")
{
object menuName;
axCoPDFXCview2.GetProperty("Notifications.ContextMenu", out menuName, 0);
if (menuName != null)
{
logger.log("Event: " + e.name + "," + e.type.ToString() + "," + e.flags.ToString() + "," + menuName.ToString());
if ((string)menuName == "Thumbnails")
{
.............................


This is the logger output from the event:

8/18/2014 2:37:20 PM : Event: Notifications.ContextMenu,4,0,0

However, I noticed menuName is always "0", no matter which context menu I triggered (on the form or the thumbnail view).

Any ideas?


Thanks

Sorry, I mistaken slightly. Should be:

axCoPDFXCview2.GetProperty("Notifications.ContextMenu.MenuName", out menuName, 0);

I got it now!

Change:

axCoPDFXCview2.GetProperty("Notifications.ContextMenu", out menuName, 0);

To:

axCoPDFXCview2.GetProperty("Notifications.ContextMenu.MenuName", out menuName, 0);


Thanks for your help guys.
