get the link of pdf.

[nais1]

hello!

<question>
I would like to get the link of pdf.
i have 2 pdf.
one pdf has the link text for another pdf.
i would like to get the link document or URL when user clicked the link text.

<sample program>
Private Sub AxCoPDFXCview1_OnEvent(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As AxPDFXCviewAxLib._IPDFXCviewEvents_OnEventEvent) Handles AxCoPDFXCview1.OnEvent
MsgBox(AxCoPDFXCview1.?????)
End Sub

You can use next code for for getting URL text

Code: Select all

 Private Sub AxCoPDFXCview1_OnEvent(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As AxPDFXCviewAxLib._IPDFXCviewEvents_OnEventEvent) Handles AxCoPDFXCview1.OnEvent
     If e.type = PDFXCviewAxLib.PXCVA_EventTypes.PXCVA_OnDisplayPrompt Then
         If e.name = "Prompts.ConfirmOpenSite" Then
             Dim vDataOut As Object
             AxCoPDFXCview1.GetProperty("Prompts.ConfirmOpenSite.Name", vDataOut)
             MsgBox(vDataOut)
         End If
     End If
 End Sub

But this will work only with URLs. In next build we will try to add such functionality for opening PDF files also. Thanks.

hi,

To hide link address you should disable tooltips on comments. This may be done by using the following code:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
	AxCoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Commenting.ShowTooltips", 0)
End Sub

You can receive notification from Viewer that user clicks on Web link or at the file link. To do this, use next code:

Code: Select all

Private Sub AxCoPDFXCview1_OnEvent(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As AxPDFXCviewAxLib._IPDFXCviewEvents_OnEventEvent) Handles AxCoPDFXCview1.OnEvent
  If e.type = PDFXCviewAxLib.PXCVA_EventTypes.PXCVA_OnDisplayPrompt Then
      If e.name = "Prompts.ConfirmOpenSite" Then
          Dim vDataOut As Object = 0
          AxCoPDFXCview1.GetProperty("Prompts.ConfirmOpenSite.Name", vDataOut)
          If MsgBox(vDataOut, MsgBoxStyle.OkCancel) = MsgBoxResult.Cancel Then
              AxCoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Prompts.ConfirmOpenSite.UserChoice", "Cancel")
          End If
      End If

      If e.name = "Prompts.ConfirmLaunchFile" Then
          Dim vDataOut As Object = 0
          AxCoPDFXCview1.GetProperty("Prompts.ConfirmLaunchFile.FileName", vDataOut)
          If MsgBox(vDataOut, MsgBoxStyle.OkCancel) = MsgBoxResult.Cancel Then
              AxCoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Prompts.ConfirmLaunchFile.UserChoice", "Cancel")
          End If
      End If
  Else
      If e.type = PDFXCviewAxLib.PXCVA_EventTypes.PXCVA_OnNamedNotify Then
          Dim vDataOut As Object = 0
          AxCoPDFXCview1.GetProperty("Notifications.ContextMenu.MenuName", vDataOut)
          If vDataOut = "UrlLink" Then
              AxCoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Notifications.ContextMenu.UserChoice", -1) ' disable context menu for links
          End If
      End If
  End If
End Sub

HTH.

Hello nais1,
