Avoid Missing Fonts Dialog on doc opening

Hi,<br /><br />You can try:<br /><br />InterfacePtr<ICommand> showMFCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kShowMissingFontsCmdBoss));<br /><br />InterfacePtr<IWorkspace> workspace(gSession->QueryWorkspace());<br /><br />InterfacePtr<IUIDData> uidData(showMFCmd, IID_IUIDDATA);<br />uidData->Set(workspace);<br /><br />InterfacePtr<IBoolData> boolData(showMFCmd, IID_IBOOLDATA);<br />boolData->Set(bEnable);<br /><br />CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(showMFCmd);<br /><br />This works with the font warning dialog. For the other cases i use kSuppressUI when available.

Hi,

Thanks Eugenio for your suggestion.
Unfortunately that doesn't work. I tried it as a responder and observer as well. Perhaps InDesign doesn't consider such dialogs as alerts.
Any other hints?
Let me to generalize the question:
How is possible to intercept any alert/message InDesign is going to show to the user to modify or avoid it to be displayed? (Something like the "_XT_SHOWINGERRORMESSAGE" callback speaking in QuarkXTensions' slang).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Luca,

You can try the following:

CAlert::SetShowAlerts(kFalse);

But this will switch off all error messages, so be careful when you call this (before opening the document - maybe with a document responder), and reactivate it after opening the document.

Eugenio Andres.
