[andrey_st]

Hi
I have a link articy://localhost/view/0f0605fd-d5a2-4 ... 1347342250. When i run it in Explorer it opens new Articy window? but i need the same

Now i want to do something like this

UpdateSelection
ChangeFocussedItem

Best support! ever!

public static void ExecuteUrl(string aUrl)
{
List<Process> list = NetUtils.FindProcesses("ArticyDraft");
if (list != null && list.Count > 0)
{
foreach (Process current in list)
{
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(aUrl);
try
{
Dispatcher.sLogger.Info("Sending to window: {0}", new object[]
{
current.MainWindowHandle
});
IntPtr intPtr = User32.SendDataMessage(current.MainWindowHandle, 1, bytes);
Dispatcher.sLogger.Info("result: {0}", new object[]
{
intPtr.ToInt32()
});
int num = intPtr.ToInt32();
if (num == 1)
{
break;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Dispatcher.sLogger.Warning("Exception:\r\n{0}", new object[]
{
ex.ToString()
});
}
}
}
}

The easiest way to do that is to use additional parameters to the object Url you open as shown below. The defaults are chosen to be backward compatible to the old behavior from articy:draft 1 & 2.

For your use case it would be far better to use:

Code: Select all

articy://<objectUrl>?windows=current&pane=current&tab=current

The parameters and supported values are:

window

protocol (default)
main
new
current

pane

first (default)
current

tab

new (default)
current

forcesheet (force the view to show the property sheet)

true
false (default)

Ok.
May be you know how to run articy from c#, something like this Process.Start(aUrl) does not work ?

[[Articy] Peter Sabath]

Using the "Process.Start(Url)" call should work if the protocol handler is properly registered in the registry.

But you also may use a direct dispatch from within articy:draft using this call

Code: Select all

public static bool ExecUrl( string aUrl)
{
    var data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes( aUrl );
    var result = Articy.Utils.Win32.User32.SendDataMessage( Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle, 1, data );
    return result == 1;
}
