Get the document name in C++

[Rajendran_T]

Can anyone guide me with getting the document name using C++ and I have the attached the code please guide me if it goes wrong.

IDocument* document = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();
if (document == nil)
{
CAlert::InformationAlert(“no document opened”);
break;
}
else
{
IDocument* docname = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();
// doc = document->GetDocument();
docname = doc->GetDocumentName();
CAlert::InformationAlert(“Document opened );
}

P.S: In this I have used “IDocument.h” header file but it shows an error listed below

1>..\..\..\source\sdksamples\CustomHttpLinkUI\CustomHttpLinkUIObserver.cpp(178): error C2039: ‘GetDocument’: is not a member of ‘IDocument’
1>C:\Users\user\Desktop\sdk 2020\sdk 2020\plugin_sdk_15.0.0.155 old\plugin\source\public\interfaces\architecture\IDocument.h(37): note: see declaration of ‘IDocument’
1>..\..\..\source\sdksamples\CustomHttpLinkUI\CustomHttpLinkUIObserver.cpp(180): error C2001: newline in constant
1>..\..\..\source\sdksamples\CustomHttpLinkUI\CustomHttpLinkUIObserver.cpp(181): error C2059: syntax error: ‘}’

What is cofusing here, look into the IDocument.h file and see what functions are available. I also can't see the GetDocument method mentioned in the header file. The method that should work for you seem to be GetName

virtual void IDocument::GetName(PMString & name) const

but it shows an error

For the second and third error the issue is that you have an an unclosed string literal. The last line mentioned below

CAlert::InformationAlert(“Document opened );

Does not have a closing quote for the string literal and hence it is being interpreted as a string constant continuing on a newline which is not allowed in this manner

Hi,

While getting the current document name I have found this error. Here by I have attached the code .And I don't know how to resolve it.Please guide me.

#include "IDocumentUIUtils.h"
#include "IDocument.h"
#include "IDocumentList.h"
#include "DocumentID.h"
#include "IDocumentUtils.h"

IDocument *docFrom = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();
if (docFrom == NULL)
break;
PMString pDoc = GetDocFromUIDRef(GetUIDRef(docFrom));

error C3861: 'GetDocFromUIDRef': identifier not found

[Manan Joshi]

I can't see the method GetDocFromUIDRef listed in the SDK, where did you get this method from? Is this function defined in your code? If that is the case then you will have to include the header file that has the declaration to this method to your cpp file which has the code you listed above and also compile(if needed)/link the object file that has the defintion of GetDocFromUIDRef to your plugin project.

Also i see that you are reposting the same question again on the forum that has already been answered, please maintain decorum of the space and don't open duplicate posts.

If you are having issues post it on the original question and provide more details on what you did and what is not working for you
