ModifierFileRequest
For ModifierFileRequest, the member contents are used to set the file path or send
the XML itself.
sdk.QRequestContext rc = new sdk.QRequestContext();
if(!this.DocumentSettings1.documentName.Text.Equals(""))
rc.documentName = this.DocumentSettings1.documentName.Text;
//STEP 2(SPECIFIC TO REQUESTS):Create the Text Modifier
//renderer request and embed it in request context
ModifierRequest textReq = new ModifierRequest();
Project contents = new Project();
RichText richText1 = new RichText();
richText1.value = this.text1.Text;
richText1.color = this.color1.Text;
Text boxText1 = new Text();
Story story = new Story();
story.richText = new RichText[]{richText1};
boxText1.story = story;
if(this.fittextbox1.Checked)
boxText1.fitTextToBox = "true";
if(this.clearoldtext1.Checked)
boxText1.clearOldText = "true";
Box box1 = new Box();
box1.UID = txtBox1;
box1.text = boxText1;
Layout layout1 = new Layout();
layout1.name = layoutText;
layout1.boxes = new Box[]{box1};
contents.layouts = new Layout[]{layout1};
textReq.contents = contents;
rc.request = textReq;
//Create the service and call it with QRequestContext object
QManagerSDKSvcService svc = new QManagerSDKSvcService();
sdk.QContentData qc = svc.processRequest(rc);
To edit the properties of an existing text box in a QuarkXPress project, use the following object
hierarchy:
ModifierRequest < Project < Layout < Spread <
Box < Text < Story < Paragraph < RichText
Example 2,
object model
For a list of the RichText object's properties, see the JavaDoc installed with QuarkXPress Manager.
The Story object also contains some text-related properties: fitTextToBox, includeStylesheets,
convertQuotes, and clearOldText.
The <FITTEXTTOBOX> attribute depends on two preferences: Allow Text to Grow and Font Size.
To set these preferences in QuarkXPress Server, choose QuarkXPress > Server > Preferences and
then click Modifier in the list on the left.
Notes
If you prefer to set text fitting preferences on a story-by-story basis, use the <FITTEXT> element
type rather than the <FITTEXTTOBOX> attribute (for more information, see "FITTEXT (Modifier
DTD)").
