Get notification about deletion/move/update a group of InDesign document

Hello

I checked the script for InDesign CC 2015 object model and came across the group.addEventListener feature.

I tried to add an event listener for the group, but I get no notification in my role as Manager. Here's the code I used:

myGroup.addEventListener(Event.BEFORE_DELETE,  function() {
    alert("aaa");
    }
);

On the suppression of the group, the handler function is not called. Anyone know how to add the listener of events on the Group?

HM.

Back to your code, trying to listen for the BEFORE_DELETE event.

Basic idea:

You could sneak into a graphic placed in the group you are trying to watch.

Add a group to a document.

Place an image to the group.

Or group with a placed image.

Select the group, run the following code, and try to delete the group.

Unfortunately the listener will react too, if you cut the group as well as its image.

#targetengine shieldMyGroupFromExtinction

// A group is selected, that contains one single image.
// The container of that image is not deeper nested in that group.

if(app.documents.length == 0){exit()};
if(app.selection.length == 0){exit()};
if(app.selection[0].constructor.name !== "Group"){exit()};

// The group, that should be watched indirectly, must be selected before running the script
var myGroup = app.selection[0];
var myLink = myGroup.allGraphics[0].itemLink;

app.documents[0].addEventListener(Event.BEFORE_DELETE, alertThis);

function alertThis(event)
{

    if(event.target.id == myLink.id)
    {
        event.preventDefault();
        alert("You are not allowed to remove that. This will be undone!");
    }

};

Note:

BEFORE_DELETE works exclusively with links.
Maybe you could use that in a different way.

  • How to get information about the important updates.

    Original title: How can I find a list of the updates, I really need and I can uninstall and how uninstall you unnecessary updates.

    I use a laptop computer Inspiron 1525 32-bit Home Premium Windows Vista 4 GB. I don't even think that I have enough for all the updates that Microsoft sends. I really need help to find out what I really need and what I don't. I'd give even Windows mail I really don't use it and it does not work with my web mail att.net. I use Gmail as a program of additional e-mail I can send pictures with this program. What is most important here is I don't think I need all of these updates! I use Microsoft Security essentials to my anti-virus program. I'm an average user of PC with average knowledge about running and maintenance of my PC. This issue is beyond my scope. Thanks for all those who might be able to help me.

    Hello Madeline,.

    Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

    According to the description, it looks like you want to learn more about the updates of Windows that are important and not Important.

    I have a few links that should guide you in the right direction.

    Important updates provide significant benefits, such as improved security and reliability. You can also set Windows to automatically install recommended updates, which can address non-critical problems and help enhance your computing experience. Optional updates are not downloaded or installed automatically.

    Method 1:

    Updates are additions to software that can help to prevent or fix problems, enhance the operation of your computer, or improve your computing experience.

    Visit this link and see "can I choose which updates Windows automatically installs?"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Understanding-Windows-automatic-updating

    Method 2:

    Visit this link and indicate "Do I need to download and install updates?"

    In addition, visit this link and check:

    You must initialize the ILayoutTarget with a CSB. As

    InterfacePtr iLayoutCSB (iSelectionManager-> QueryConcreteSelectionBoss (kNewLayoutSelectionBoss));

    InterfacePtr layoutTarget (iLayoutCSB, UseDefaultIID());

    Yes, you can buy Lightroom without subscribing to Adobe Creative Cloud.

    To purchase an upgrade to Lightroom 6 from a previous version, please see this link: products .  Scroll to lightroom and click 'buy '. Then click on the selectable text next to "I want to:" and select "upgrade". In the drop-down list, select the version that you are upgrading.  I hope that help.

  • How can I stop getting notification of update as a beta-test user of Firefox. I won't be on this list.

    I get notifications of a new version of Firefox. I think I've been on the list of users to beta test and I won't be on this list. I'm not active enough to be of any use to you, dear friends. Thanks for a great product.

    You have probably installed which was one of the beta versions of a version in time and then on the beta channel.

    An easy way to return to the output channel is to install Firefox 34 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

    35.0 Firefox is on channel beta because there have been six versions so far with nine being the average.

  • How can I get rid of unwanted software update message?

    How can I get rid of unwanted software update message?

    Mac Book Pro, OS X 10.9.5.

    On 3 June 2016, I received a notice to update software for my Brother printer. Driver version 4.0. I don't remember if I downloaded it in fact. Then I went on the site of brother and checked for the last update which proved be driver version 4.5. I have successfully downloaded that. On 10 June, I received a software update for the old driver version 4.0 again. I don't want to install an older driver, but I can't get rid of the nagging update notice. Too late, it got installed when I was composing this message. So, if I reinstall the 4.5 update and I get another message of updated software for the 4.0 update, how do I get rid of him?

    When I select the update of the software community, he rises to the Windows software and I can't change it.

    I used to get update notifications for flash. I uninstalled it and now they don't bother me. And updates to OS normal mac, can be disabled app store mac settings.

    In your case, I can say, try to delete the brother driver and install again, if it you nags once more.

  • Apple Watch doesn't show notifications after 2.2 update

    I update my iPhone of 6 to 9.3.1 and Apple Watch to 2.2 and now I don't get notifications on my Apple Watch. I've already restored IPhone and Apple Watch several times and only works for the first text and message. that nothing comes to the watch. Look at the forums and I tried everything and anything and nothing. NO NOTIFICATIONS COME THRU TO THE APPLE WATCH. WORKING FINE BEFORE THE UPDATE.

    Hello

    Remember that how behave notifications depends on the State of your devices. In order to provide notifications to your attention as soon as possible:

    -If your iPhone is unlocked, you will receive notifications on your iPhone instead of on your watch.

    -If your iPhone is locked or mode and your watch is unlocked (regardless of the question of whether the screen saver is awake or asleep) and on your wrist, you will receive notifications on your watch.

    -If your watch is locked or allowed to do not disturb, notifications will be sent to your iPhone.

    Did anyone out there contacted by "windows" say you they receive notifications about a virus tries to hijack your computer and ask for help to remove the files? Initially, it was an area code 855, but now the number is unavailable. I get a lot of calls.

    any help would be appreciated

    It's a scam.

    Here are the tips that we regularly give the posters who receive these types of calls:

    We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

    Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

    You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

    If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

    If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

    And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  • AVG says your messed up my Verizon Yahoo's email server. The line that bed, delete, move, not spam, but... does not load. I can see my email, I just can't open

    I spent over 5 hours in computer shares with AVG. They said your server messed up my email account. I can access my email account, but the line that reads "delete, move, not spam, more' loads ever... so I can't delete the email or anything else. My email account is to verizon yahoo. I need access to my email for various reasons, one of them being pay several bills online and my email account is where to get confirmation that the payment has gone through! My email works through IE, however. I don't want to use IE to see my email... I use Firefox for everything and it would be a pain in the end to have to switch to IE to access my mail. Not to mention, I hate IE - it's like using WEBTV! It's so slow... [address removed by email, please do not provide sensitive information in a public forum] is my email...

    So Safe Mode made no difference?

    To test how Firefox works no 'custom' on your system, could you experience in two minutes?

    Create a new Firefox profile

    A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

    Out of Firefox and start in profile to help Manager start > run:

    firefox.exe -P

    Do not delete anything here.

    Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    Click on the button to create a profile, assign a name like TEST and skip the option to choose a different folder location. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

    Yahoo does not improve in the new profile?

    When you return to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the button Delete a profile on TEST. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.
