how to see PMString values in debug mode

[hari ramamoorthy]

Hi,

    can anyone help us to how to see the values of PMString in debug mode and also what the functionalities and properties of PMString.

Here what is the values for PMString

  PMString vUnit,hUnit ( vUnits and hUnits are horizontal and vertical values of some frames)

Your SDK folder should contain a folder "docs", and in this "references". The full description of PMString (including, but not limited to, its types, member functions, attributes, and friends) can be found in the file "index.chm". (That's in my CS5 SDK folder, but I'm sure Adobe didn't change it that much.)

As for how to view live values of variables inside your debugger, you should check the documentation that came with it.

You could use APINavigator, read the following link for more details.

On a MAC you could create custom data formatters that is a C plugin

For more details you can search the internet for custom data formatters on a MAC.

In this link too you have asked this same question, to get more debugging information out of InDesign data types.

API Navigator should help you in that, it adds debugging information for a lot of InDesign datatype for any remaining datatypes you will have to write your own custom data formatters or resort to logging values to files or the console.

Hi,

    We are new to indesign debug and we are not having experience in this, we installed API Navigator in our system, but we dont know to see the values, Can you send me any documents related to  how to debug (basics for debug)

     Now we are using trial version of adobe indesign and debugger, because of trial version any debug problem wll occur?

Some times it is easier to do an alert.

#include "CAlert.h"

CAlert::InformationAlert ( myPmstr );

Hi Pickory,

    Thanks for the valuable reply it was really helpful to see the values of PMString, When i applied same to PMReal data type, i had many errors and cant see the values of PMReal. even i want to see the values of PMMatrix and k2vector....

[Pickory]

Hello,

Using alert is OK for seeing simple things. Look at the PMString class, PMString.h, see AppendNumber.

Long term you are going to have to spend some time learning how to debug.

All the best.
