GXPD 18 - Saving Paper Type Information (1-May-95)
Q I need to be able to save unique paper type information in the
Resource fork, which is contained in a collection. How can I access DTP from
ModalDialog?
A Send_GXxxx calls must be made from overrides, so what your application (or
filterproc) can do is override gxJobIdle, do the Send_GXxxx call there, and
then, when in its non-override code, call GXJobIdle(currentJob) to invoke the
override. Make sure you install and remove the override right where you need
it, so that odd things don't happen at other times. Also note that you need the
current job reference, and you have to pass that to your filter proc.
If you're using GXAlertTheUser to handle your dialog, you can override
GXHandleAlertEvent and send your messages without this workaround. In either
case, your goal is to get the collection item, flatten, and then save it to the
DTP with GXWriteDTPData.
