Hi,
I am looking for a way to read out the longname of a workbook without having to active it. Currently I have to activate it first and use page.name$ to read out the workbooks longname into a string.
This is not very convenient as it slows down my script considerably.
Is there any way of reading out the longname without having to activate a workbook? |

Hi,
Yes, the brackets indicates that it is optional. Sorry I did not make it clear in the first place.
For example:
//
window -a Book1; // Active Book1
page.longname$ = BK1; // Set page longname
window -a Book2; // Active Book2
Book1!page.longname$ = ; // Will return "BK1"
//

Hi,
the brackets are too much, they indicate that the including is optional
I guess this should work for you:
storevar$ = Book1!page.longname$;
best regards

Thanks!
So if the short name of my workbook is e.g. Book1 and I am currently in Book2 I have to enter:
storevar$ = [Book1!]page.longname$;
to access the longname of Book1 and store it in my storevariable storevar$?
Edit: I just tried it with this syntax and it doesn't work (with or without the "!"). So what would be the actual syntax in my case? |

Hi,
The standard syntax of page properties is actually:
[winName!]page.property =
When [winName!] is not specified, the active window is affected.
