Hi everyone,

Developing a CEP plugin for InDesign. I have a selection of item/items, which selected by JSX code on some event triggered by the user. Is there any way to scroll these items into view?

Thank you in advance!

One thing that comes to mind is the showText method of text objects. Aside from that you can control the document's layoutWindow view somewhat. See activePage and bounds for example.

Isn't UXP better ?

UXP plugins aren't available yet within InDesign. You can build some HTML dialog with UXP Scripting but nothing you can dock for example 😉

But it's announced for 2023, so let's wait and see 🙂

~~Are you sure~~ 😉

~~So what's this? - same page as your link - shortcut at the top a bit to the left~~ 😉

Or you mean that "plugins" will be a completely different beast? What will be the difference??
