How to get Conditional tag name for F_TextItemT

  • March 8, 2018

Hi,

I am trying to get Condition tag name if present for TextItem inside paragraph

F_TextRangeT trSel, trFound;
F_IntsT condIds;
F_PropValsT findParams;
trSel.beg.objId = trSel.end.objId = hPgfId;
trSel.beg.offset = trSel.end.offset = 0;
findParams = F_ApiAllocatePropVals(1);
findParams.val[0].propIdent.num = FS_FindText;
findParams.val[0].propVal.valType = FT_String;
//For demo "c" is the first character in the string of every F_TextItemT
findParams.val[0].propVal.u.sval = F_StrCopyString((ConStringT)"c");
trFound = F_ApiFind(docId, &trSel.beg, &findParams);
//Setting insertion point
F_ApiSetTextRange(FV_SessionId, m_doc.getDocId(), FP_TextSelection, &trFound);
//Get condition ids at insertion point
condIds = F_ApiGetInts(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_InCond);

I am able to get the name by making every textitem a insertion point and fetching its condition values.

Is there any way to fetch conditional tag name without adding insertion point for a textItem?

Thanks,
Abhijeet

Here is a function from a very old plugin that I used to sell. This function takes a text object, like a paragraph, and finds a condition format and replaces it with another. Of interest to you will be:

  • Line19 where I am getting the a text list of character property changes.
  • Line 25 is where I am seeing if there is a condition format change.
  • Lines 27-33: I am making a text range for the current unique conditional text formatting, because I want to replace the current format with new formatting. You may not need to do this.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

You should be able to query the beginning of the text range directly:

F_PropValT prop;

prop = F_ApiGetTextPropVal (docId, &trFound.beg, FP_InCond);

Thanks for the suggestion. I am wondering how can I get textRange when iterating over all paragraphs in document without adding insertion point?

My aim is to create custom XML from FM document and want to have Conditional Tag information if present for each textItem.

F_ObjHandleT hPgfId = m_doc.getFMDocId(hFrameId, FP_FirstPgf);
//Iterate all pragraphs in textframe
while (hPgfId != NULL)
{
  F_TextItemsT tix;
  tix = F_ApiGetText(docId, hPgfId, flags);
  //Iterating over all textitems in paragraph
  for (size_t tix = 0; tix < tix.len; tix++)
    {
        //How do I get text range for a textItem without seeting insertion point?
        //Or any other way to find Conditional Tag name for textItem?
        
        F_PropValT prop;
        prop = F_ApiGetTextPropVal (docId, &trFound.beg, FP_InCond);
    };
  hPgfId = m_doc.getFMDocId(hPgfId, FP_NextPgfInFlow);
}

Thanks,
Abhijeet
