Query results

This query returns a list of stories. For each story, it returns the following information:



const char * fFilename;

Filename (including path) if story is linked to external file
"" for unlinked story

long nNumChars;

Number of characters in story, including inline graphics and non-printing characters (e.g., tabs, returns, and index markers)

These fields are followed by a list of text blocks. For each text block:

short nPageNumber;
Page on which story is placed (from 1 to 999)
-3 for left master page
-4 for right master page
-5 for pasteboard
long xLeftTop;
x coordinate of left-top handle of text block in twips
long yLeftTop;
y coordinate of left-top handle of text block in twips
long xRightBottom;
x coordinate of right-bottom handle of text block in twips
long yRightBottom;
y coordinate of right-bottom handle of text block in twips
short nNumChars;
Number of PageMaker characters in text block

Coordinates for transformed text block. If the selected text block was skewed, rotated, or reflected, the coordinate pairs (xLeftTop, yLeftTop) and (xRightBottom, yRightBottom) correspond to the original left-top and right -bottom handles, but indicate their new locations.

Accessing query results. Because this query returns a list within a list, you must access the information in the text block list using the PTextBlock helper class, which is a member field of this class.
