Detecting a click in the Structure View

[russ at weststreetconsulting.com]

Rick,

The only way I've ever done it is to use the generic click notification, then test the active document to see if it is the Structure View. The test I use looks for "Structure View" in the title bar, which I know isn't completely reliable in all instances.  Something like this, inside of F_ApiNotify():

    case   FA_Note_PostMouseCommand:

      //check to see if the structure view is active
      str = F_ApiGetString(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_Label);
      
      if(F_StrCmp(str, "Structure View"))
      {
        F_ApiDeallocateString(&str);
        
        //if the structure view is active, we need to find out which document
        //it is currently showing. It will be the document window that is currently in front.
        
        docId = F_ApiGetId(0, FV_SessionId, FP_FirstOpenDoc);

        while(docId)
        {
          tempInt = F_ApiGetInt(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_IsInFront);

          if(tempInt == True) break;

          docId = F_ApiGetId(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_NextOpenDocInSession);
        }

        //get the id of the selected element. I use a homemade function for this
        //that derives the ID from the F_ElementRangeT structure
        if(docId)
        {
          obj = ws_GetIdOfSelectedElement(docId, False);
        }
        else obj = 0;

        if(obj)
        {
          
          /* code to do something with the element that was clicked */
        }


        F_ApiDeallocateString(&str);
  
      }
 
      break;
