Hello yogeshpatil
This totally depends on the requirement, if u just want to read the data from Text frame then dude0000 is perfectly right, You should use the above code no need to write your own suit for that.

hi dude0000
Thanks for d help
did u think i required to write my own TextMiscellanySuit and provide ASB & CSB before using this code my team leader told m tht u 1st need to write ur own TextMiscellanySuit for ur assigment.
waiting for ur reply

Hi yogeshpatil,<br />you can try this<br />InterfacePtr<IGraphicFrameData> GFrm(textFrameItemRef, UseDefaultIID());<br />InterfacePtr<IMultiColumnTextFrame> MCTF(GFrm->QueryMCTextFrame());<br />InterfacePtr<ITextModel> TxtModel(MCTF->QueryTextModel());<br />InterfacePtr<IComposeScanner>iComposeScanner(TxtModel,UseDefaultIID());<br />WideString retval("");<br />int32 length=TxtModel->TotalLength();<br />iComposeScanner->CopyText(0,length,&retval);<br /><br />retval will contain value read from textframe.
