[AI-CS5] Unable to capture panel closed/Hide event .

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:40:51 GMT

Hi All,

I am using flex for my illustrator plug-in panel. I want to show a msg if panel is closed.

I registered StateChangeEvent.WINDOW_CLOSE /StateChangeEvent.WINDOW_HIDE in PanelInit() but I am unable to get the call.

here is the code that i am using to register.

CSXSInterface.getInstance().addEventListener(StateChangeEvent.WINDOW_CLOSE , PanelClose);

CSXSInterface.getInstance().addEventListener(StateChangeEvent.WINDOW_HIDE , PanelHide);

however in case of StateChangeEvent.WINDOW_CLOSE I am getting call only if illustrator is being closed and panel is opened.

plz suggest how to overcome?

thanks

[AICS4] Selecting art and making mask does not work together.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 07:33:34 GMT

Hi All,

I want to make a clipping mask of some particular arts but problem occurs when I select these arts using sAIArt->SetArtUserAttr(), then make mask usnig action manager.

When I made a selection of the arts i wanted to clip through code and clipped them manually, it worked.

Also when I made a selection of the arts I wanted to clip manually and clipped them through code, it worked.

But when I do both the tasks through code I does not work.

I think the document is not being updated when making clipping mask code is being executed.

When I used sAILayer->SelectArtOnLayer it worked but then every art on that layer is clipped, which is not what I want.

What can I do in this scenario?

Code snippet

////Start

AILayerHandle lh = NULL;

sAILayer->GetFirstLayer(&lh);

AIArtSet set =NULL;

sAIArtSet->NewArtSet(&set);

sAIArtSet->LayerArtSet(lh, set);

// Select first art

AIArtHandle mArt = NULL;

sAIArtSet->IndexArtSet(set, 1, &mArt);

sAIArt->SetArtUserAttr(mArt, kArtSelected, kArtSelected);

// Select third art

sAIArtSet->IndexArtSet(set, 3, &art);

sAIArt->SetArtUserAttr(art, kArtSelected, kArtSelected);

// Make clipping mask

sAIActionManager->PlayActionEvent(kAIMakeMaskFromSelectionAction, kDialogOff ,NULL);

////End

Please help.

Thanks.

TextRangesRef rangesRef = NULL;

result = sAIDocument->GetTextSelection(&rangesRef);

aisdk::check_ai_error(result);

ITextRanges ranges(rangesRef);

if (ranges.GetSize() > 0) {

ITextRange range = ranges.Item(0);

range.InsertBefore("A\nB\nC");
