Indesign SDK Panels TextEditbox

Question

how to get the TextEditbox value for indesign panel. I have tried the following code:

GetTextControlData(kDYNTextEditBoxWidgetID);

It returns an error like as below:

error C3861: 'GetTextControlData': identifier not found

Answer 1

The function GetTextControlData() is available with IDialogController. Are you including IDialogController.h header in the file ? Another approach could be to use IWidgetUtils::QueryRelatedWidget() to get ITextControlData for this widget. From ITextControlData, you can GetString()
