Close a PDF from Uniface

Author: bignonj@gmail.com (Bignon)

Hi,

Can I close an open PDF with Adobe Reader from Uniface ?

I open the PDF with activate WIN30.SHELLEXECUTEA(O,"open","%%vNomfichier%%%","","",1)

Perhaps work on the Id Process but how can I do that ?

 

Thanks a lot,

Hi Jerome,

 

What about sending a DDE-execute to the PDF-reader process ?

Success, Uli

P.S. as usual, just a brainstorm result. If it does not fit your needs, tell me.

Hi Uli,

And how do that ?

You want to say make a Jscript file, by example, ( with inside a fonction to close Adobe Reader), and execute this Jscript from Uniface by spawn ?

Hi Jerome,

you can use DDE straight from the uniface application:

Setup of INI File to use DDE

[userdlls]
;path=..\\3gl
;demandload=
preload=dde4012c.dll
 
[udde]

dde=1

 
     1         if (Function = 'uddeexecute')
     2-1        $50 = A50
     3-1        $51 = A51
     4-1        $53 = A53
     5-1        HISTORY = "*** %%Function ***%%^%%HISTORY"
     6-1        HISTORY = "IN  $53 Data    = >%%$53<%%^%%HISTORY"
     7-1        HISTORY = "IN  $51 Topic   = >%%$51<%%^%%HISTORY"
     8-1        HISTORY = "IN  $50 Service = >%%$50<%%^%%HISTORY"
     9-1        $result = ""
    10-1        perform "UDdeExecute"
    11-1        HISTORY = "%%Function Stat/Res= %%$status >%%$result<%%^%%HISTORY"
    12-1        done
    13-1       endif
    14         if (Function = 'uddepoke')

    37-1        $result = ""
    38-1        perform "UDdeRequest"
    39-1        message "%%$status %%$result"

Hi Jerome,

On your question, I have another question :

How do you have implemented WIN30.SHELLEXECUTEA. ?

I wants replace all spawn comman by the shell execute but I have not the signature.

Regards,

Antoine

Hello Jerome,

I have created a form component several years ago in which we can show a PDF-document. It is based on the Internet Explorer which can show a lot different type of documents like Word, Excel, PDF and DWF, provided that the plugin is installed. Just paint a OCX-container on the form and use the Shell.Explorer. In your program add the statement

$ocxhandle(ocx) -> navigate($URL$, "", "", "", "")

where $URL$ can be a fully qualified filename but also an url to a website.

This form can be closed any way you like, closing the PDF as well.

Hope this helps,

John Bergsma

It is a great help. Closing PDFs and Scanning to PDF sometimes make me confused.
