Hi.
Could you please help me to figure out the next problem? I try to get current scaling percent, but my code always returns the same value 1.02940 and does not become updated when I change scaling. Could you please help me to figure out with this? I use the following code:
InterfacePtr<ITransform> xform(this, UseDefaultIID());
if (xform != nil) {
PMReal scaleX = xform->GetItemScaleX();
PMReal scaleY = xform->GetItemScaleY();
}
this is inherited from CGraphicFrameShape class.
Thanks for any help.

I've also faced the same problem. The heart of problem is following:

AFAIK, after choosing the desired scaling percentage value in combobox in InDesign, the one scales the shape and sets scaling percentage back to 100%. ONLY AFTER these operations, the method DrawShape(...) is called. That's why we have the same values every call.

Possible solution may be: We should track (capture) choosing desired scaling percentage value in combobox BEFORE DrawShape is called. The question is - HOW? Is there any interfaces that allow doing that?

Yes, Ive tried these methods but they return correct value in method PrintSetupProvider, but in method DrawShape I always get 1. Maybe I should use another method for initialization scale variable in my class before draw method will be called.
Thanks,
Andrey

Have you tried ITransformFacade::GetItemScale? Or use the selection suite ITransformSuite::GetSelectionScale?

I create an object that was inherited from CGraphicFrameShape. I insert some image into this object and want to scale this image when a user scales my object. Under scale I mine the following menu item Object->Transform->Scale
