Hi Dirk, I'v found the Addin for KUtilsBoss at the Boss definition of kUIEXCatHndChangeEntityMappingCmdBoss with the line IID_IXCATHNDFACADE,    kXCatHndFacadeImpl. At my UIEID.h-file I'v the line: DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kXCatHndFacadeImpl, kUIEPrefix + 1 ) At my UIEFactoryList.h I've the line: REGISTER_PMINTERFACE(XCatHndFacade, kXCatHndFacadeImpl) But I get still the Alert for missing Facade-object. What is missing? Jochen Seliger ... View more

Hi Dirk, seems that you are on the right way. The Alert 'Nüscht' ist thrown, because the Facade-object dos not exist. But the obviousely required implementation at my and at the samples fr-file iss missing. Could you please let me know, which lines shoul den added at least to my UIE.fr-file? You may reach me directly via jochen.seliger@flowcontrol.org. Regards Jochen Seliger ... View more

Hi, at least at CS2 the two menu-items under 'File' a) Save b) Save As are handeld by the same functionality, starting with the 'Save As' Fillehelper-Popup and with the same ServiceID raised atb the end. I only want to know, if that feature shal be considered as the right solution, or as an error. This I ask, because I plan to port my Plug-In to all the Adobe Application versions. ... View more

Hi Dirk, again I ask you for a way to get informed, when the actual document was saved. I remember that we've had the solution through the object instances created by the Adobe application. at our 'old' plug-in. But now I can not find a way to get the ActionComponent for the 'File' menu at ISession, ICommandManager, IActionManager and IMenuManager, May you let me kow, what's the name of that ActionComponent or how to retrieve it from the application and its related objects. If I could add the respective ActionID via the ActionManager to that ActionComponent I hope to get, what I want. Kind regards Jochen Seliger ... View more

Hi Dirk, thanks for your repy. As I wrote already, we have had implemenmted a similar pliug-in nearly 10 year ago, which was lost unfortunately. At that Plug-In we had added an own menu and have got the signals from File:Save-actions. As I remember we used the application ActionManager  to get signaled. At the moment I followed the recommendations and have tryed to use one MenuDef and one ActionDef-block to get both functionalties working. But the worked for me and the two fr-files do not work as well. So I ask you again, what ist the way to get the signals from the main menu File:Save-actions without the need to use MenuDef and ActionDef for that approach. Kind regards Jochen Seliger ...

Hi Manan, I've now incuded the DocWch.fr file into my UIE.fr-file. After fixing all the errors, the main problem is quite clear. Du to the repeating of the resource names at the two fr files, 'duplicate ressources errors are thrown. That means that two fr-files caan not be used at a single plug-in. Am I right? So the question, how to combine the creation of an additional menu with the logic to get informed, when the actual file was saved, is still not answerded. Either there is a possibility to bind the menu definition of multiple additional menus and existing menus of interest within a single MenuDef-Block and action definition of theswe multiple menus within a single ActionDef-block, or there is a way to connect to the applications ActionCompoment (or ActionManager) to ask him/them to notify my code about the saving of the current document. At a similar plug-in, we hade build about ten years ago, we used suddenly the lastly named approach. But that project was lost unfortunately. We urgently ned help! Jochen ... View more

Hi Norio, meanwhile I've fixed the linker errors and have created an own menu, which will be added to the application main menu bar. Further I need to know, if the actual file was saved. Therefor seems that I will need signals from the File:Save-actions. So fare I could not get a clear answer, how to do that. So I've searched at the samples and found docwatcher. This sample seems to implement the additional functionality, I am requesting. But that sample can't be build at my system, because the bulding claimes, that Types.r is missing. The guys at the forum told me that that file is required only be MAC-building, but I build (so fare) my Plug-In only for Win32. So Ive tryed to port the DocWch-sample into my existing project. There I met problems concerning the combination a) of the own created menu and b) get signals from the standard menu File:Save-actions (bey using the DocWch-functionality) within the single UIE.fr-file. Next I've tryed to use two (in my case) fr-files and included them both into the single TriggerResourceDeps.cpp Additionlally I've copyed all the cpp-files fom the sample to my project and dapted my UIEID-file to declare the required interfaces. After implementing al these adaptions, my project can be build without any error. But I can not get any response from the DocWch-functionality, allthough I've implemented CAlerts to nearly all the logical brances of DoWchActionComponent, DocWchServiceProvider, DocWchResponder and DocWchUtility. There is no response at all while selecting the File:Save menus. Could yyou give me a hint what may be wrong and how to search for the error(s). Kind regards Jochen Seliger ... View more

Hi Manan, the question is not the implementation of MenuDef and ActionDef-bocks at a single fr-file, but the Menu-definition and the Action-definition for two or more menus at a single fr-file. I could not get it working. So I've used my own UIE.fr to implement the additional own UNI.SEL.FLOW menu and the DocWch.fr-file to implement the functionality to get signaled from the document saving. My Plug-In can now build succesfully, but I can not get any reaction from the File:Save-actions, allthough I've implemented CAlerts at the DocWchActionComponent, DocWchServiceProvider aan at the DocWchResponder at nearly all the logical branches. There is no Alert shown at any stage. Could you let me know from which startpoint the class instance for the plug-in are created/instanciated. I've searched for files containing DocWchFactoryList.h or UIEFactoryList.h without a result. As I do not get any error and any alert, I 'm slightly confused. Please let me know, if my approach with the two fr.file may work at all and if not how to get the creation of an own menu can be combined with the signaling from the Application File:Save-actions.

Hi Manan, to setup an own menu with actions and to be able to react on the ation invocing oft some (standard) applications mein menu items I need the information hoe to code the two MrnuDef- and two ActionDef-blocks at my single UIE.fr-file, if that is generally posible. Or should I implement two (or more) fr-files ans include all them at TriggerResourcesDeps.cpp? As I told you, we have had implmented a similar plug-in (with CS2) nearly 10 years ago, which was lost. As I remember, we used another aproach to get signaled from the main menu File:Save-actions. That another probably would avoid the current problem. May you let me know, how to get the Adobe applications actionManager and its ActionComponent as well? Kind regrads Jochen ... View more

Hi Manan, meanwhile I may add my own menu with three sub items to thr ID main menu successfuly. From one of these sub items I want to call the FileHelper from xmxcataloghandler sample to read the Order-XML and to parse it by the named sample code. Therefor I've copyed most of the xmlcataloghandler sample to my source folder, copyed all the relevant declarations from XCatHndID.h to my UIEID.h and changed all relavant includes of these files from XCatHndID.h to UIEID.h. Further more I've changed all kXCatXYZ delarations and references to kUIEXCatXYZ. After that I get typenewdefinition errors from some of the respective files only for IID_ZZZ interface declarations. It seems to me that a header-file is causing that errors. The only same #include for all the failing cases is IXCatHndFacade.h. I'l attache a txt-file to this mail, contaning the copilation logg and some information concerning the includes. May you give my a hint, where the error is comming from?
