plugin to change image path

Hi Everyone,

I am new to indesign plugin development.

we are using indesign cs4 and vc++ (microsoft visual studio).

i need to create a user interface plugin to change path of all images in a lengthy indesign document.

The plugin contains two text boxes one for old location (path of image) and another for new location.

When i click ok, it should change path of all images in the document.

i need some ideas and suggestions in developing.please help.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

let me make my question clear.

i need to relink all images in a document, using boss classes (indesign object model for vc++)

and i want to know what are the appropriate boss classes here.

thanks.

Why not use scripting? A script would be fairly easy to implement and probably not work much longer.

thanks for the reply.

I am supposed to do this using InDesign Software Development Kit (SDK), which allows to write compiled plug-ins using C++ .

so i cannot use scripting.
