Hi fmEveryDay, First, sorry for the delay. I like fm Every Day too but it was a three-day US holiday and I stayed away from the computer. Indeed, the documentation is out of date. Assuming FDK11, you...
View ArticleRe: Building DLL for FDK API
That’s nice to know. I’m using FDK9 at the moment, but the winds of change are blowing toward FM11, so I will probably start the basics that I need and then port it when the time comes. The resource...
View ArticleRe: Building DLL for FDK API
Kevin, For all versions of the FDK before 11, I use Multi-threaded (/MT). I use VS2008 for all of those, though. I am confident that the /MT switch builds a robust DLL, but I won't say that /MD can't...

One thing that would be nice to have is a way to highlight a reference marker in Frame and go back to where the cross-reference was created. The cross-reference could easily be in another section of...

Re: Way to highlight marker and refer back to reference
You can have multiple cross-refs to a cross-ref marker (perhaps from other books), so how would you know where to go in such a situation? It would be nice to be able to backtrack, but it could be...

Re: Way to highlight marker and refer back to reference
I agree completely that it would be nice. I built a similar feature into my XRef Wizard plugin for structured documents, where you can search for all cross-references in a book that point to any...

Hi, FM11. I can't seem to get the Delete() method to work on commands, nor can I retreive the proper CommandNum property. For example: cmd = DefineCommand(1111, "TestScriptCommand",...

Hi Russ, Thanks for the follow up. I got some of the letter keys to work, but I couldn't use the punctuation keys. FrameScript still rules :-). Rick

Hi, Seems that answers to complicated questions are a bit sparse in these parts, but I'll try again anyway I'm wondering if there is any technique to reliably undo a character format application...
View ArticleRe: Technique to undo a character format application?
Hi Russ, If you use a GetText method and use the Constants.FTI_CharPropsChange you should get an array of text items where each item has one particular set of properties. You should be able to save...

Hi Jang, Thanks for the tip. This would streamline things a bit, I think, but I would still need to store multiple property sets at each point where the properties change, right? I'd have to also...
View ArticleRe: Technique to undo a character format application?
Hi Russ, You don't need to actually do the GetProps until the moment when something needs to be undone. Keep the array of TextItems until it is no longer needed. Thinking out loud as well, this leads...

OK, I found the answer myself. The property is available via app.GetProps ( ), which is what I expected in the first place. But the following code just gave an invalid object as result: var MyProps =...
