Hi Fabio, you can't "refresh" a dropdown menu. But you can rebuild it. You have to do it "manually". The way I do it: 1. I have an array that I want to show in that dropdownlist. 2. I remove all children: myList.removeAll(); 3 I rebuild the list via mylist.add("item","myArray[index] in a for - loop. But if you know the exact position of the items to remove or to add, you can do it via splice()

Hi Egan, Dealing with files and folder is explained in the Javascript Tools Guide CC in Chapter 3 (File System Access). You can find it in ESTK -> Help -> Javascript Tools Guide CC Here is an example how you can delete files and folders: Folder must be empty !!!
//delete file
var MyFile = new File ("C:\\deletetest\\test.txt");
if (MyFile.exists)
{
MyFile.remove();
}
//delete folder - folder MUST be empty
var MyFolder = new Folder ("C:\\deletetest");
if (MyFolder.exists)
{
MyFolder.remove();
}
Hope that helps.

Thanks for sending me the doc. I found the problem: RowMinHeight was higher than RowMaxHeight :760213 So you just have to add in my example above: fRows.RowMinHeight=371542; fRows.RowMaxHeight=371542;

Hi Chris , I've just extended the script. Just compare it with your script.
var gDoc = app.ActiveDoc ;
var oTabSelected = gDoc.SelectedTbl;
var AllRows = [];
var myRow = oTabSelected.FirstRowInTbl;
while (myRow.ObjectValid())
{
AllRows.push(myRow);
myRow = myRow.NextRowInTbl;
}
MinimizeRows(AllRows);
function MinimizeRows(fRows)
{
for (var i = 0; i < fRows.length; i++)
{
fRows.RowMaxHeight=371542;
}
}
I guess, it has something to do with your document. Is there a chance, that you send parts of your document to me via PN so I can test that?

Hi Chris, I've just tested this and it works: I have created a table, selected it and started this little script:

myRow.RowMaxHeight=371542;

Hi Klaus, let me guess: - Your new windows is running windows 8.1 ? - you are using include-files? (where your breakpoints are placed?) That's what happened to me. You have to select for every single include-file FrameMaker and not ExtendScript Toolkit. On Windows 7 I didn't have to do that. You can try to force that, by starting the script with F10/F11. That SOMETIMES works for me. On Windows 8.1 ESTK also ignors #target framemaker. rgds Klaus

Hi rombanks have a look at the Javascript tools file (around page 52): execute() fileObj.execute () Opens this file using the appropriate application, as if it had been double-clicked in a file browser. You can use this method to run scripts, launch applications, and so on. Returns true immediately if the application launch was successful. This works for me:
var cFileName = YourPath + "/FM2015_mifref.pdf";
var cFile = new File (cFileName);
if (cFile.exists)
{
cFile.execute();
}
else
{
alert ("File not found : " + cFileName);
}

Hi Russ, after some hours of trying and testing, I found (a part of) the solution: This works for me. The structure of this menu: Main Menue: mMenu -------mMenueToDelete is Submenue of mMenu ------------mSubMenueToDelete is Submenue of mMenueToDelete
var mMenu = app.GetNamedMenu("!MakerMainMenu") ;
var mMenueToDelete = app.GetNamedMenu ("Menu2");
var mSubMenueToDelete = app.GetNamedMenu ("Menu3");
if (mMenueToDelete.ObjectValid ())
{
alert ("- Delete the old submenu: " + mSubMenueToDelete.Name);
mMenueALT.Delete (mSubMenueToDelete);
alert ("- Delete the old menu: " + mMenueToDelete.Name);
mMenu.Delete (mMenueToDelete);
UpdateMenus ( );
}
EDIT: The problem, that still exists is: although I've deleted the menu items, they still can be found with "app.GetNamedMenu"

Hi Klaus, the simlest way is to avoid "acticeDoc". Why dont you use sth. like: myOldDoc = Open (fileNameOldDoc, openParams, openReturnParams); myNewDoc = Open (fileNameNewDoc, openParams, openReturnParams); And don't close one of the until the script has finished. Otherwise the ID's of the paragraphs get lost. BTW: Are you in Darmstadt this week? http://tagungen.tekom.de/f15/startseite/ So we could meet!

PrintPropVals() indeed displays an array of CondFmt properties, but the problem is that the properties are presented as numerical values and not as labels (names).
You have to "translate" that numbers. In "FrameMaker Scripting Guide" -> chapter 5 -> Constants you'll find the meaning of those numbers. e.g. search for "621" and you'll find "Constants.FP_UseFontFamily" in that table.

Hi Klaus, sorry for my late response. execute definitely works witch batch-files Here's a "batch" - example you can test. There are two methods to prevent window from closing: "|more" - kind of pagebreak "pause"
var oTemp = app.UserSettingsDir + "\\tmp";
var MyDosCommand = "ipconfig.exe /a|more";
var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
if (!oTemp.exists)
{
var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
var lFehler = MyPath.create();
}
oTemp = oTemp + "\\" +"nw.bat";
var MyFile = new File (oTemp);
MyFile.open ('w');
if (MyFile.error > "")
{
alert("ERROR");
}
MyFile.writeln(MyDosCommand);
MyFile.writeln("pause");
MyFile.close();
MyFile.execute();

Hi Klaus, just change your last line from oDoc.NewSeriesPgf(pgf); to : pgf = oDoc.NewSeriesPgf(pgf); that should do it. So you directly point to the new pgf. completely :
// write array to multiple paragraphs
var items = new Array ();
var nItems, pgf, textLoc, oDoc;
items = ["Århus", "Çedille", "Dandy"];
nItems = items.length;
oDoc = app.ActiveDoc;
pgf = oDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf; // get first pgf in flow
for (var i = 0; i < nItems; i += 1) {
textLoc = new TextLoc (pgf, 0);
insText = items;
oDoc.AddText (textLoc, insText + "\x08" + insText); // \t inserts a NL...
if (i < nItems -1){
pgf = oDoc.NewSeriesPgf(pgf); // add a paragraph
}
}

Hi Klaus, first of all you should swap lines 9 and 10, because you ALWAYS use the same textLoc. And so all textitems are inserted at the beginning.

To create a document, you only have to open it: ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE says: Open Description Opens a document or book. It can also create a new document. Open() allows you to specify a property list telling FrameMaker how to open or create the file and how to deal with error and warning conditions. For example, you can specify whether to abort or to continue opening a document if it contains fonts that are not available. If the file is already open and invisible, it will make the file visible. Hope that helps cu Klaus EDIT: Here's an example:
var openParams, openReturnParams;
openParams = GetOpenDefaultParams();
openReturnParams new PropVals();
var MyFile = "C:\\MyPath\\MyFile.fm";
oFile = Open(MyFile,openParams, openReturnParams);
And if you want to change the parameters:
var openParams, openReturnParams;
openParams = getYourParams ();
openReturnParams = new PropVals();
var MyFile = "C:\\MyPath\\MyFile.fm";
oFile = Open(MyFile,openParams, openReturnParams);
function getYourParams() {
var params, i;
/*
Change the params
*/
i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_RefFileNotFound);
params.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_AllowAllRefFilesUnFindable;
i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FileIsOldVersion);
params.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoOK;
i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FontNotFoundInDoc);
params.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoOK;
i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_LockCantBeReset);
params.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoOK;
i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FileIsInUse);
params.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_OpenViewOnly;
i=GetPropIndex(params,Constants.FS_AlertUserAboutFailure);
params.propVal.ival=Constants.FV_DoCancel;
i=GetPropIndex(params,Constants.FS_MakeVisible );
params.propVal.ival=false;
