Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.0 SR4
Operating System: Win2k

Hi everybody,

does anyone know how to rename and label a note window? The following code obviously works only for windows derived from the Page class.

void SetWindowTitel(string aWindowName, string aName,string aLabel)
{
Project myProject;
Page myPage;
PageBase myPageBase;

myPageBase=myProject.Pages(aWindowName);
myPageBase.Rename(aName);

myPage=(Page) myPageBase;
myPage.Label=aLabel;
myPage.LT_execute("page.title=3;");
}

Any help is much appreciated.

Ciao,

Martin

There are a few quirks with Note Windows when it comes to adressing the active notewindow.
The following works with 7.5-SR4.
I've not tested them with 7.0, but I think they should also work ...


#define WM_MDIGETACTIVE 0x0229
bool rename_relabel_active_note_window(string strNewNoteWinName)
{
	Note nwin(strNewNoteWinName);
	if(!nwin.IsValid())
	{
		HWND hWndMDI = GetWindow(OGW_MDICLIENT);
		Window winMID(hWndMDI); 
		DWORD dw = winMID.SendMessage(WM_MDIGETACTIVE);
		HWND hWndChild = (HWND) dw; 
		if(hWndChild) 
		{
			foreach (Note nWin in Project.Notes)
			{
				if(nWin.GetWindow().GetSafeHwnd() == hWndChild)
				{
					nWin.Rename(strNewNoteWinName);
					nWin.Label="NewLabel";
					return (true);
				}
			}
		}
	}
	return (false);
}

bool rename_relabel_note_window(string strNoteWinName, string strNewNoteWinName)
{
	Note nWin(strNewNoteWinName);
	if(!nWin.IsValid())
	{
		Note nwin(strNoteWinName);
		if(nwin.IsValid())
		{
			nwin.Rename(strNewNoteWinName);
			nwin.Label="NewLabel";
			return (true);
		}
	}
	return (false);
}

There is a bug (#6966) with updating the notes window title so even after you change it, it will not show up until you hide and show it again, so use the following code



void note_rename(string strNote, string strName)
{
	Note myNote(strNote);
	if(!myNote)
		return; // not found
	
	myNote.Rename(strName);
	myNote.Label = "Change to new name = " + strName;
	myNote.TitleShow = WIN_TITLE_SHOW_BOTH;

	// force it to update
	myNote.SetShow(PAGE_HIDDEN);
	myNote.SetShow();
	
}

It seems that Note.Rename("NewName") does not check to determine whether "NewName" name conflicts with the name of a pre-existing note window. It is thus possible to have two or more note windows with the same name. This is guaranteed to cause problems ...

When I compile the first function a type mismatch error occurs in the following line:

Window winMID(hWndMDI);

However, the code of the second function works greate. I added the lines

nwin.SetShow(PAGE_HIDDEN);
nwin.SetShow();

to enforce a refresh to really show the changes.



Thanks for you prompt reply.

CU,

Martin

I just tried compiling that function in 7.0-SR4 and got the same error. I guess that particular function call is not supported in in pre 7.5 OriginC.
