How to get UIDs of pages containing a given PageItem

Hi,

I have the UID for a PageItem and I'm trying to get a list of the UIDs of the pages which the item is on.

I'm using GetPageUIDs:

IDocument* doc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();

if (doc != nil) {

    IDataBase* db = ::GetDataBase(doc);

    UIDRef itemUidRef = UIDRef(db, itemUid);

    InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> itemHierarchy(itemUidRef, UseDefaultIID());

    if ((itemHierarchy != nil) && (itemHierarchy->GetChildCount() > 0)) {

        UIDList onPageUIDs;

        Utils<IFormFieldUtils>()->GetPageUIDs(itemHierarchy, &onPageUIDs);

        ...

    }

}

For every item, I get an empty list in onPageUIDs.

I can't find any examples for the correct way to use this function - am I using it wrong?

Thanks

Liz

Hi

I think FormField is some special form of page item.

Try GetItemsOnPage from ISpread interface.

Ahhh I see - so there's no way of navigating back up from a standard page item to it's page(s)? i.e. you have to check every page to see if the item is on there...

I guess I'll write myself a helper function to do it if that's the case.

Thanks

Maybe there is an easier way to get that but iterating through list of spreads and master spreads should be fast enough.
