Gets the current name of the master page associated with the specified page ID.

Query constructor

unsigned long nPageID;

PageMaker internal ID for master page

Query results

This query returns a C string containing the name of specified master page.
Page ID stays with page. While the name of a master page may change (if you rename it), its ID remains the same: A master page is independent of its name. If you assign private data to a master page and the page is subsequently renumbered, you can still access the private data using the page ID. (Assigning private data to a master page is one of the few instances where you need the ID of a master page.)

To change the name of a master page, use the PRenameMasterPage command.

PGetMasterPageName mpName(15);
strcpy(foo, mpName);
