Best way to add additional information to a pageItem ?

[daniel.luecke]

What is the best way to add  additional information to a pageItem?

Do i have to use the  assiciatedXMLElement or is there any "more nice" way where I can assign  real, not XML based objects (parameter) to a pageItem?

(Mainly for  InDesign)

Many  thanks,

Daniel.

What do you mean by "additional information"? You can add a label, either by setting the standard script label:

myPageItem.label = "Some info";

which is quick and handy but inflexible, or you could use insertLabel(), which allows you to set any number of labels:

myPageItem.insertLabel ("shape", "circle");

myPageItem.insertLabel ("purpose", "globe");

Is that what you're after?

Hi Peter,

thanx for your answer.

This already looks good. But under which attribute of the pageItem can I later read the set labels? The label itself is only a string...

label = myPageItem.extractLabel(key);
