Hi,
How can I know if the document was modified and need to be saved (document was rotated,notes added,fields modified...)

Hello Nir,

Please check section 2.2.2.4.1 of the Viewer AX SDK - you need to check the "Objects.Documents.<item>.Modified" flag.

Cheers,

Hi,

i tryed this property, but when the user is editing a form field, as long as the field has focus the property returns false (0).
Is there a property that will return true after the user pressed the first key?
(the save button in the viewer has this behavior)

Kind regards
Peter

Hi Peter,

I will need to check that with our forms expert. Will get back to you when I have more info.

Hi Peter,

This has been passed to a colleague from the dev team (Vasyl) and I will post back here when I have further news.

Best,

Sorry, no easy way for this currently. But you may try to do it by:

Code: Select all

youreventhandler OnEvent(type, name, ..)
{
   if (  (type == PXCVA_OnNamedNotify) AND (name == "Global::OperationsHistoryChanged")
         OR
         (type == PXCVA_OnPropertyChanged) AND (StrStr(name, "].Modified")  != NULL) // "Documents[<DocID>].Modified"
      )
      {
           int cmdSaveState = 0;
           pdfViewer.GetProperty("Commands[\"Save\"].State", out cmdSaveState, 0);
        
           bool isDirty = (cmdSaveState == 1);
      }
}
