I am looking for a way to register an AuthorListener with AuthorAccess as soon as the application has started.

Is this possible in 10.3?

Thanks,

Dylan.

Hi Dylan,

The AuthorAccess is only connected to the current authored file.
So for each authored file there is an AuthorAccess associated with it.
When editing a document type in the Oxygen Preferences->Document Type Association page in the "Extensions" tab you can set up an ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.ExtensionsBundle implementation.
In the implementation you can overwrite the method:

Code: Select all

  public AuthorExtensionStateListener createAuthorExtensionStateListener() {

    return null;

  }  

and you will get notified when the current editor gets activated and deactivated (its tab is brought to top or unselected).

When the void activated(AuthorAccess authorAccess); method is called you can register your listener on the AuthorAccess.getEditorAccess(). When the page gets de-activated you will remove the listener.

Regards,
Radu
