[Framers] API or ExtendScript function for Read Application Definitions

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Ian,

Maybe this only works if I use FmDispatch to open the XML file. I want to
read the application definitions programmatically, but not open any xml
files programmatically. The idea is that the user will open a map that could
have various outputs (using different templates/transforms, etc.). I want to
present them with a dialog box asking what kind of output they want. Based
on their selection, I want to be able to programmatically read the
appropriate structapps file so that when they open any topics or create
output, the correct version of the application will be used. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. Thanks.

Rick

Hi Rick that's odd, as I use it in a couple of applications without any
problems. I'll look at my code and see if I've missed anything.

Hi Ian,

This doesn't appear to work. I open the custom structapps.fm document and
use this:

CallClient ("FmDispatcher", doc.id);

where doc is a valid FrameMaker document. But then when I open an XML file,
it doesn't use the settings in the custom structapps.fm. I want to read the
custom structapps.fm file and have it used for the rest of the session or
until I change it. Thanks.

Hi Rick,
Try this for ExtendScript...

CallClient ('FmDispatcher', structappsfile.id);

Structappsfile is a FrameMaker document object and you have to pass its
Object ID as the second argument.

I hope that helps?
Ian

Hello Framers,

 

Is there an ExtendScript method or FDK function for the Structure >
Application Definition > Read Application Definitions? Thank you very much.
