Indesign CS3: How to get the current document name?

...Plese Ignore the last post...<br /><br />docRef is the UIDRef of the document. Plese consider the following code<br /><br />IDocument *docFrom = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument(); <br />if (docFrom == NULL ) <br /> break; <br />UIDRef docRef = GetUIDRef(docFrom )); <br /><br />InterfacePtr<IDocument> iDocument (docRef, IID_IDOCUMENT); <br />if(iDocument == nil) <br /> break; <br /><br />PMString docName; <br />iDocument->GetName(docName);

docRef is the UIDRef of the document.<br /><br />IDocument *docFrom = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();<br />if (docFrom == NULL )<br />break;<br /> pDoc = GetDocFromUIDRef(GetUIDRef(docFrom ));

what the parameter docRef refers?

thanks

Here is the short and simple way<br />InterfacePtr<IDocument> iDocument (docRef, IID_IDOCUMENT);<br />if(iDocument == nil)<br /> break;<br /><br />PMString docName;<br />iDocument->GetName(docName);

IDocument is ok for most purposes. If you need the file, have a look at IDataBase. There won't be a file though when the document is not yet saved.

That takes me to the header file IDocument.h from the CS3 SDK, which contains the following comments:

"Do not use the document's name to make assumptions about the name of the actual pub file in the file system."

I guess this "name" is not always the same as the opened document file name?

Which one are you looking for Alois?

I haven't tried this myself, but it looks like you should be able to use ILayoutUIUtils::GetFrontDocument to get a pointer to the active IDocument, then call IDocument::GetName to get the name.
