Hi Manan, meanwhile we have all the functionality generally together working. The actual question is to share some parsed values to other classes of our Plug-In. After trying namespaces, maps and header entries without a final positve result, we try to use the 'friend' logic. Here we ar not shure, if the VC7-Compiler an Preprocessor are supporting al the C++specifications. We've set 'friend class XCAtSAXContentHandler;' at our MenuActionComponent, hadling the File:Save-ActionIDs. That declaration is accepted at compilation. The C++ tutorial create usualy a local variable for the class to be called. Our line ' XCatSAXContenHaldler SAXContentHandler;' at the public segment of the MenuActionComponent is throwing an  error. The Line at our Save_Doc-function 'UIDocRef docRef = XCatSAXContentHandler::GetDocREf();' allone is also throwing the error C2027: use of undefined type XCatSAXContenHandler'. When typing the two dashes after XCatSAXContenHandler at the 'friend class' line is shoving the members of XCatSAXContentHandler. Could you please let me know, wht is missing to get values from XCatSAXContentHandler? Kind regards Jochen Seliger ... View more

Hi Mana, we have generally the startup service running. Through that service we create our own addititional menu. Through one of its sub items the XML-production-Order parsing may be started. From the parser we create a new document according the parsed production order with the SDKLayoutHelper.. Additionel we handle the ActionID's, fired when clicking the Save-, SaveAs-, SaveACopy- and SaveAVersion.Meniitem of the Main:&File menu. From the Handler of the SaveActionID we use again the SDKLayoutHelpen to save the document to the respective order case. But!!!! unfortunately  the VM we used to implement our project, crashed some days ago. Afterwards we were forced to setup new develepment environmets. So we've created two environments on different systems in different VM's. And here we ew face error on both envionments. At first one the SDK-Variables like PluginVersion or ClassDescriptionTable cannot be found by the build process. At other environment the Linker and the compiling of our fr-File are trying to include 'CWSettings.h'. On my oppinion there is missing a global header, definning the tag WINDOWS and may be etablishing the connection to the SDK-Objects. May you give us a tip, where to look at, to solve these failures. Kind regards Jochen Seliger ... View more

Hi Wolfgang, after a VM crash my plugin  project does not find the resource kind 'PlugInVersion' at my fr file. The other resource elements are also not found. Seems to me that the link to the SDK is broken. How to solve that failure? Ragards Jochen Seliger ... View more

I was intended to post to InDesign Forum. But first I'd like to know if a namespace is the right solution to share variables with their values  across all my classes. That is what I require. If anbody has a better idea, I'm interested to know. Regards Jochen Seliger ... View more

Hi Dirk, I've implemented the liner #include "namespaces.h" at a Copy of LocaleIndex.h within the else branche of #ifdef __ODRFC__, because I get errors from Metaprogramming.h in the other case. At my namespaces.h I've placed some Messagebox and obviousely the file is inculded. When implementing a CAlert with 'aktOrder="+parsing_results::aktOrder;, I can see the member varibles of my parsing_results, after typing the second colon. But the compiler is claiming, that pasing_result is not a namespace and aktOrder is undefined. What is wrong here? Please help me!! Regards Jochen ... View more

Hi Dirk, I've implmented the line '#include "namespaces.h"' into the LocaleIndex.h and tryed to build m project, but the class, which is using 'parsing-results' does not find it. At the moment the only solution to let the two classes the mentioned namespace is to include the 'namespaces.h' into both classes. But than I get the errors concerning duplicated deklaration. So wht is the right place to include the named header once? Regards Jochen ... View more

Hi Dirk, I've now added '#include "namespaces.h"' to the Preprocessor Definitions. That line is obviousely accepted. Now, while compiling TriggerResourceDeps.cpp error C4651: '/D=include namespaces.h' specified for precompiled heder but not for current compile is thrown. Where to set the approprialte command for current compile? Regards Jochen ... View more

Hi Dirk, due to errors while including the namespaces.h into my ID.h or fr.file, I do include it into the two classes requiring to access the variables declared within my parsing_results namespace. But in thet case I get errors for duplikted declaratio of the veriables. The only solution ovoiding these errors is the static declaration of the nemespace member variables. But in thet case I can't let set the values by my XML-Parser. Yust now I've tested ad dynamically extention of the namespace, explained by IBM, but this again does nort work. I'll read the information you've posted and wil return. Regards Jochen ... View more

Hi Manan, now I've al the required functionalit. There is only left the following question: As I would like to modify the Standard-File-Menu  only after loading a production order-XML. That way is bundeled with the opporunity I want to provide, where the users shall be able to skipp the integration with the work flow system to work stand allone. In that case I want to disable the own Catalog-Upload-menu-item, open a standard document and set the standard menu-Hit-Funktionality. Is that modificatio of the standard ID-File-menu possible outside of the FR-File? Kind regards Jochen Seliger ... View more

Hi Dirk, I've cleared all the header includes to my CS5.5 project, but now I get a failure fom the Mircrosoft code. The error message is: C:\Programe\Microsoft Visual Sutio 9.0\VC\include\crtdefs.h(560) : error R32762: # Error looking for ressource specifucatin. Need 'resourde' or 'type'.

Hi Dirk, I'm still not fine with the CS5.5 simple DollyXS-Project. When trying to build that project with ActionComponent, DialogController, DialogObserver and ScriptProvider it is failing. From the created fr-File the identfyer for the Widget-implementations were not found. I've comented out the respective lines from my fr-file. The ScriptProvider is including IScriptEventData.h (that header is availablbel at CS5.5 only via legalnotices. When adding the respective include directory, IScriptEventData.h is missing the IID_ISCRIPTEVENTDATA identifyer and some other identifyers. It seems to me that here some top classes and headers are missing. The ScriptProvider I probably will not require. So I've exclude that class from my project. But the ActionCompoment I will require. That class, as created by DollyXS is missing the gSession object. That object instance is created by PlugIn.cpp (only available at leganotices). When including that file into the ActionComponent, the gSession will be found, but PlugIn.cpp is including SnapshotFactory.h (onlly available at legalnotices). When adding the respective include directory to the ActionComponent, the compilation of that class will throw errors from SnapShotFactory concerning missed identifyers e.g 'SnapshotConstructor'. I can't find a file at my system, containing 'SnapshotConstructor'. That again is indicating that some top classes and headers are missing. As I've recigniced, that at laest some of the SDK-samples do not have any additional include directories, but do include the respective headers. That again is indication that there some include directory informations are sipped to the samples projects, but obviousely not to the customer projects. I urgently require help to cope with that situation. Regards Jochen Seliger ... View more

Hi Dirk, I hoped to find the right include pathes, to be used, at a sample projekt. But most of the checked samples the were no additional includ pathes not at the projects properties nore at the class properties, although the classe do include lots of headers. Only in one case I found ..\..\..\extrenal\asl , ..\..\..\extrenal\asm\incluse and on other ..\..\..\extrenal\-path That indicates, that into the samples are involved some, not visible, files, holding definistions (e.g id_sdk_dir) and pathes. Could you please know, where these file may be   found? Regards Jochen ... View more

Hi Dirk, as gSession can be created by PlugIn.cpp, the question is, where that class should be incuded. At the moment, I've incuded it into my ActionComponent.cpp. But the gSession  should be defiined only once, that cpp should be somewher at a higher level. I can suggest to include it into my StartupShutdown-class. But at the samples I could not find a project file, which is including PlugIn.cpp. May you give me a advise? But I've further problems with the 'legalnotices'. The SnapshotFactory.h is shipped for CS5.5 only under the named directory. I've incuded that haeder from the respective folder. But get compilng errors from SnapshotFactory.h. What are the requirements/dependencies for the files under legalnotices? That is my urgent question. Kind regards Jochen Seliger ... View more
