How to Add values to dropdown list in runtime
Hi All
I wanted to add the items to the dropdown list in the plugin.
The SDK Example WriteFishPrice shows the items are hard coded in the .fr file.
i am looking for a similar concept, but not adding the items in the .fr file, i wanted to add the items in the .cpp or .h files and add the items to the dropdownlist.
DECLARE_PMID(kWidgetIDSpace, kWFPDropDownListWidgetID, kWFPPrefix + 2)
The declaration is done in WFPID.h file
#define kWFPDropDownItem_1Key kWFPStringPrefix "kWFPDropDownItem_1Key"
defining the string is done in WFPID.h
I wanted to add the items in the same header file, is there any way that i can add the items in the header files instead of adding in .fr file
Please guide me
Thank you

Native Modal Dialogs?
Hi,
I have existing UI code that is written against a generic UI framework (wxWidgets), but essentially uses platform-native UI frameworks. For many reasons I don't want to recreate the same UI using InDesign widgets and resources.
I can run the code, it basically works, and I can bring up "half" modal dialogs. BUT I do have some event issues because I don't know how to make my dialog truly modal. Panels and Toolbars are still active when my dialog is up, and so they can (and do) cause a lot of trouble - including crashes during and after the dialog display.
So my question basically is: How can I run native dialogs (be it wxWidgets, MFC, or Carbon) from within an InDesign plugin? This surely must be supported somehow?
Thanks for any pointers in the right direction!

Hi, in the above code, CmdUtils::ProcessCommand returns kFailure.
Here, myDocRef refers to the current document in indesign application.
outputTOCStoryUIDRef refers the story UIDRef of current document, where the TOC should be generated.
Would be much helpful if someone helps me in this regard??

Fonts are not updating in InDesign instantly
Hi,
I am working on InDesign 5.5 plugin, which is used to handle missing fonts of document. It Displays a List of missing fonts in a dialog box and user can Activate the missing font.
If user opens a document, which contains missing fonts, then InDesign throws the missing font Information in a Dialog box(Default, provided by In Design).In my plugin, On opening the document, I fetch the missing font info and activate the missing font (I am doing this work before opening document by using kBeforeCloseDocSignalResponderService signal). But still InDesign shows the missing font Dialog Box on opening the document however I already activated the missing fonts. I am not getting the reason of why InDesign is behaving like this?
If I put a Alert message(with ‘OK’ button) just after activating the font and before opening the document, Then document is opening properly(without default Missing font info Dialog Box). It means this is behaving correctly. I am not getting why this Alert message is creating a difference. I need this functionality without using any extra alert message

How do I get Texts in a .indd file to a wordpad
I'm running CS6 & developing a pluging for that.
Currently I'm reading texts written in a .indd file & print them to a text file using ITextModelClass..
But I can't read texts written as TextVariable & I tried to convert them to strings using
ITextVariable* textVariable,
textVariable->VariableToString(varUIDRef, temp, kTrue);
when i run the above code, it returns texts that are not relevant to the current .indd file.
when i use "kFalse" instead of kTrue it gives a runtime error & return nothing.
So how can i convert "TextVariable " to a readable text.
Thanks..

Compiling CS3 plugins on Xcode 5 or 6
I read in other discussion threads that you can compile CS3-CS4 plugins (the samples to begin with) in Xcode 6 DP now released. What changes are needed in the version of the odfrc-cmd that comes with CS3 SDK? Can I use the compiler from CS5?
I always get the "..odfrc-cmd: Bad CPU type in executable" because it's a PowerPC binary and it can't be run in 10.8 or 10.9 due to their lack of support for this type of executables (rosetta).
