Run an Fcode through a Hypertext command

Question

Is it possible to execute an Fcode through a Hypertext command? I want to be able to click on a Hypertext link in FrameMaker and have it execute an Fcode. I see this in the FDK Reference on page 800: FV_HypertextFcodeInvalid: Invalid FCode in the hypertext command. But I can't figure out the syntax for doing executing an Fcode in a Hypertext marker. Thanks in advance.

Klaus pointed me in the right direction with his PDF. I am not using ExtendScript or the FDK here, I simply want to be able to invoke an Fcode by Control+Alt+Clicking on a Hypertext marker. So pressing Control+Alt and clicking on this Hypertext marker

fcodes 300

shows the New dialog box. The hard part is locating the correct Fcode number. Thanks.

Hi Rick,Is this the FDK? To be honest, I don't really have any idea what all those hypertext properties mean. If I ever need a hypertext link to do something, I use the generic "message <client_name>" syntax in the marker. This triggers the F_ApiMessage() callback which can do anything, including fcode execution. I suspect you probably know about this methodology, though... so maybe I don't fully understand your question.Russ
