How to Switch the Home Screen (SDK, C++)

Question

Hi,

I am developing a C++ plugin.

I want to prevent the process from being executed on the home screen from the panel I created.

From the plugin, is it possible to switch between the home screen and the screen that appears when no documents are open (where various panels are displayed)? Alternatively, can the preference "Show Home Screen When No Documents Are Open" be toggled on and off?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

You need to do small investigation -

When are are on your home screen then use the following code snippet on a menu click -

InterfacePtr<IApplication> iApplication(IBUtils::GetISession()->QueryApplication());

InterfacePtr<IPanelMgr> iPanelMgr(iApplication->QueryPanelManager());

InterfacePtr<IPaletteWorkspace> iPaletteWorkspace(iPanelMgr, UseDefaultIID());

CAlert::InformationAlert(iPaletteWorkspace->GetActiveWorkspaceName());

This will give you the workspace name for active workspace which is Home Screen.

You may use the above information to either detect Home Screen or switch to Home Screen.

What you are referring to is the Workspace. Use "kSetActiveWorkspaceCmdBoss" command to switch between the workspaces. - Rahul RastogiAdobe InDesign C++ Custom Pugin Architect
