Event Management

[leb]

Hello Sorin,
I use oxygen (version eclipse plugin) and when I load a xml document (Open) in author mode, I suppose that oxygen uses an event-type "load file". How can I have access to this event (to get it and manipulate it ...) ?

Thank,

Regards.

Hi,

Can you tell us more about your use case? What control do you want to have over the Oxygen plugin?

Thank Radu,
For example, when I change the contents of my xml file in author mode (using oxygen plugin version), I'd like power controller (programmatically) the registration of the new modified file, for example to set an automatic recording file every 10 minutes ...

Hi,

I understand you want some kind of auto-save every couple of minutes (or saving to a backup file).
We have some extensions available for Author editing allowing both the addition of new user-defined actions and also for a listener which could possibly achieve what you want.
See the Author SDK kit available here:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/developer.html

Basically you can register a listener of interface AuthorExtensionStateListener and when the callback:

Code: Select all

void activated(AuthorAccess authorAccess);

gets called you can start a thread that every couple of minutes can either call "save()" on the current document or get the entire XML content of the edited file and save to a different location.

Hi Radu,
Thank you for your reply. I will therefore use the second solution you proposed: "implement a listener could possibly Which Achieve What I Want." I checked out the Author Kit SDK, I know how to implement a listerner, but I do not know where deploy it in oxygen ... is what I have to implement a class that inherits a class of oxygen?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

There is a chapter in the Oxygen User Guide called Author Developer Guide (which can be found also in the Author SDK package):
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/ ... guide.html

In that chapter there is a sub-section describing how to add extensions:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/ ... sions.html

A quick not-detailed explanation:
The Oxygen installation directory contains a frameworks directory.
For each supported XML file type there is a subdirectory in that directory (for example "docbook"). That subdirectory contains document templates, the DTDs/XML Schemas used to validate the specific XML file type, the CSS used for rendering, a jar file containing the Author Extensions for that document type and a ".framework" file.
That file is created by Oxygen when you add a new external document type in the "Document Type Association" preferences page.

If you tell us what kind of XML files you are editing and send us a sample schema and CSS I'll try to create a sample framework directory to get you started.
Our email address is:

Hi Radu,
Thank you very much for your help, I have received your mail, it helped me a lot. I have another question please: In the XML editor, I would like tt control the mouse event "double left click" (of my mouse): For example, when I double left click on a tag in opened xml document, I would like to extract the contents of the tag selected. It Is there a way to do so? is it possible to place a listener on the double left click of my mouse?

Ragards,
leb

Hi,

Can you be more specific?
Do you want to add this behavior in the "Text" or in the "Author" page?
What do you mean by "extract the contents"? Do you want to call a custom action which uses the tag's contents in some way or do you want to modify in the document and remove the element's tags, leaving only the contents?
Maybe you can give us a small example.

Radu
