RE: Updating XRefs

["Mitchell, Sue" <Sue.Mitchell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Message

Thanks to Rick Quatro for solving this one... the code should have been

 

myError = F_ApiUpdateXRefs(docId, FF_XRUI_FORCE_UPDATE | FF_XRUI_EVERYTHING);

 

and then all is fine.

 

Thanks again Rick!

Subject: Updating XRefs

Has anyone ever had experience using F_ApiUpdateXRefs who might know why it is not working for me? I am trying to change all instances of Heading & Page xRefs to Jump and while the format of the xref does change when I try to update them through the API it doesn't work, they are still displayed as <$paratext>  <$pagenum>. If I look at the xref in the document it does indicate that it is now a Jump xref and if I do the update manually in Frame they do change. Can anyone offer any advice here? This is the core of the code that is not working:

headingAndPageId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_XRefFmt, (StringT)"Heading & Page");
jumpId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_XRefFmt, (StringT)"Jump");

xRefId = F_ApiGetId(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_FirstXRefInDoc);
//Loop through all markers in the document
                                       
while(xRefId){
        //Get the id of the marker type for each one
        xRefTypeId = F_ApiGetId(docId, xRefId, FP_XRefFmt);
        //if it is a Heading & Page xref then change to Jump
        if (xRefTypeId == headingAndPageId){
                F_ApiSetId(docId, xRefId, FP_XRefFmt, jumpId);
                myError = F_ApiUpdateXRefs(docId, FF_XRUI_FORCE_UPDATE);               
        }
        xRefId = F_ApiGetId(docId, xRefId, FP_NextXRefInDoc);
}

PS I also tried F_ApiRedisplay and F_ApiReformat after F_ApiUpdateXRefs and that didn't work either and myError returns 0 which is FE_Success! Saving and closing and reopening the document didn't work either.
