How to set "Get the information from the Active Directory"

Hi there,

I need to set the flag "Get the information from the Active Directory" (Edit -> Preferences -> Identity) by code to be able to get the identity's Name used in stamps set by

Code: Select all

Editor.Inst.Settings["Identity.Name"].v = "My Name";
I tried to set

Code: Select all

Editor.Inst.Settings["Identity.AlwaysUseLoginName"].v = false;
but it does not work.


And yes, I call

Code: Select all

Editor.Inst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PXV_AppPrefsChanges.PXV_AppPrefsChange_Identity);

It seems that the editor himself does not use this flag set by code.
The setting in the editors preferences overwrites the flag.

The version of PDFXChange Edit Core API is 9.0.352.0

How can I set this flag?
Or has the name of the flag changed?


Best regards
cew

Hello cew,

Also, to enable that setting use the

Code: Select all

Editor.Inst.Settings["Identity.GetFromAD"].v = true;

Hi Alex,

got it to work, thank you very much!


Btw: Where do I find a documentation about the available settings and the keys like "Identity.GetFromAD"?

Hello cew,

There is no documentation available for these. Basically to check the needed flag, open the registry of the End-User Editor:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings
Then, when changing some settings and closing the Editor, you will see the changes made to the registry in the correspondent group. I'm afraid that is the only way.

Cheers,
Alex

Seriously? :roll:

Me too :|

Nonetheless, this approach is better than no way to get to the settings at all.
Thank you!

Now I understand what "Tracker" in Tracker-Software stands for:
It's "Registry-Tracker" :lol: :lol: :lol:
