Restrict color selection for comment and markup tools

[MartinCS]

Hi,

is it possible to limit the available color selection for a tool, e.g. rectangle tool, to the following options:

*) no fill
*) one custom color -> set with: AxCoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Commenting.Rect.Styles[0].SColor", RGB_val, 0)

The user should not be able to set any additional custom color or 'More colors...'. (Please see attachment.)

I know it is possible to lock the fill color tool using 'Commands[0].State = Offline' using the 'SetProperty' method. But the user should still be able to set the filling color for the selected tool, e.g. rectangle tool, if necessary.


Thank you,
Martin

Hi, MartinCS

In current implementation you may disable for end-user the color-selector control only by:

Code: Select all

ctrl.SetProperty("Commands[#36273].State", "offline", 0); // to disable "Fill Color" color-selector,
// and if you need:
ctrl.SetProperty("Commands[#36274].State", "offline", 0); // to disable "Stroke Color" color-selector,

- and in your app. you may implement two buttons "Select_NoColor" and "Select_TheCustomColor"...

Hi Vasyl,

thank you for your reply. Is it possible to set these two custom buttons using the toolbar of the viewer. My idea would be to add a custom toolbar with the both buttons you suggested.

Thank you!

Hello Martin,

You can not add custom buttons in a toolbar inside our Viewer, so they will need to be in the main body of your application.

Best,
Stefan
