C# .NET Photoshop.Application.togglePalettes()

Hey guys,

when I'm trying to call that function Photoshop.Application.togglePalettes() it fails and the compiler says:

'Photoshop.Application' does not contain a definition for 'togglePalettes'

Everything else works just fine, this is the only but serious problem. Due to performance reasons I need to toggle the palettes off for doing some intense layer manipulations.

Is that function not available in C# / through COM ?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Correct answer I have gone

It looks as if you are correct, it doesn't seem to be available in CS6 for me either, what does work is to send a JavaScript Call via COM, maybe you could use that?

ps.ApplicationClass app = new ps.ApplicationClass();


String RC = app.DoJavaScript("app.togglePalettes();", null, null); 



ps.ApplicationClass app = new ps.ApplicationClass();


String RC = app.DoJavaScript("app.togglePalettes();", null, null);

In JavaScript

togglePalettes()

or

app.togglePalettes()

suffice.

I know that this works in JS. but I have requirements which force me to build the tools in .NET. As my question said I was wondering if this function isn't exposed via COM.
