    Refer BscMEInvertFacade.cpp in sdksamples/basicme.

    Hi Norio, i am not able to get complete idea with that code .Still i dont know how to get current document UID.

     

    InterfacePtr<ICommand> cmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBoss));

        if(cmd == nil)

        {

            ASSERT_FAIL("BscMEInvertFacade::SetDocumentPageBinding - cmd is nil");

            return;

        }

     

        InterfacePtr<IDocSetupCmdData> cmdData(cmd, IID_IDOCSETUPCMDDATA);

        if(cmdData == nil)

        {

              return;     

        }

    Here  i struck up with get refrence of database

    ...

    ...

    InterfacePtr<IDocument> document(db, db->GetRootUID(), UseDefaultIID());

    if (document != nil)

       InterfacePtr<IPageSetupPrefs> pageSetupPrefs(document->GetDocWorkSpace(), UseDefaultIID());

       if(pageSetupPrefs == nil)

        {

         return;

      }

        PMRect rect(0,0,1024,768);

        cmdData->SetDocument(::GetUIDRef(document));

        cmdData->SetPageSize(rect);

              //    OR

    //cmdData->Set(::GetUIDRef(doc),

    //                    pageSetupPrefs->GetPageSizePref(),

    //                    pageSetupPrefs->GetNumPagesPref(),

    //                    pageSetupPrefs->GetPagesPerSpreadPref(),

      //                   pageSetupPrefs->GetWideOrientationPref(),

      //                   pageBinding);

        CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(cmd);

     

    can you point out the mistakes . i am just learning the basics. can you suggest me some idea to learn indesgn sdk. Still i dont get concrete idea about plugin developement .eg..how to create instance or get refrence for a boss .

    Can you please help me .

    Hi Norio, i found a way to set page size.    

     

      thanks for your reply . please tell me if there is any other best way , 

       

       InterfacePtr<IApplication> application(GetExecutionContextSession()->QueryApplication());

        InterfacePtr<IDocumentList> documentList(application->QueryDocumentList());

        for (int32 i = 0; i < documentList->GetDocCount(); i++) {

            IDocument* document = documentList->GetNthDoc(i);

            InterfacePtr<ICommand> cmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBoss));

            if(cmd == nil)

            {

                ASSERT_FAIL("BscMEInvertFacade::SetDocumentPageBinding - cmd is nil");

                return;

            }

           

            InterfacePtr<IDocSetupCmdData> cmdData(cmd, IID_IDOCSETUPCMDDATA);

            if(cmdData == nil)

            {

                   return:

            }

     

            PMRect rect(0,0,100,100);

            cmdData->Set(::GetUIDRef(document),

                         rect,

                         1,

                        1,

                        kTrue,

    If you create a kUIPlugIn, try,

    IDocument* doc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();

     

    InterfacePtr<ICommand> cmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSetPageSizeCmdBoss));

    InterfacePtr<IDocSetupCmdData> cmdData(cmd, IID_IDOCSETUPCMDDATA);

    PMRect pageRect(0, 0, width, height);

    cmdData->SetDocument(::GetUIDRef(doc));

    cmdData->SetPageSize(pageRect);

    /*

    // for kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBoss

    InterfacePtr<IPageSetupPrefs> pageSetupPrefs(doc->GetDocWorkSpace(), UseDefaultIID());

    cmdData->Set(::GetUIDRef(doc),

              pageRect,

              pageSetupPrefs->GetNumPagesPref(),

              pageSetupPrefs->GetPagesPerSpreadPref(),

              pageSetupPrefs->GetWideOrientationPref(),

              pageSetupPrefs->GetPageBindingPref());

    */

    CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(cmd);
