How to get part name on mouse click

You'll have to do that using a block of embedded 3D Javascript - it's possible but only if the part is clicked on within the 3D viewport rather than selected on the model tree.

Paste the following into a new text file, save with a .js extension, and load it into the Script field on your 3D annotation's Properties>3D tab.
.
.
.
// script begins on the line below this

runtime.overrideSelection = true;

var myMouseHandler = function( event ) {
if ( event.isMouseUp ) {
var myMesh = null;
if ( event.hits.length > 0 ) myMesh = event.hits[0].target;
if ( myMesh != null ) {
host.app.alert("You clicked on " + myMesh.name);
}
}
}

var mouseEventHandler = new MouseEventHandler();
mouseEventHandler.onMouseDown = false;
mouseEventHandler.onMouseMove = false;
mouseEventHandler.onMouseUp = true;
mouseEventHandler.onEvent = myMouseHandler;
runtime.addEventHandler( mouseEventHandler );

//end of script

Thank you so much
its working.
Now can I get the name from alert to a TextBox using C#?

Hi UVSAR,

Thank you so much once again...
Its working great...
But how can I display the name in an text box of web application using C#?
I have done same using Electronic Forms in PDF...
Please let me know how I can display the name from alert message to a text box in browser?

How are you communicating with your application? The Acrobat SDK does not support C#, only C++.

I will be using VB.NET to open the PDF in browser
And have embedded JS to 3D model which gives part name as alert on click ...
Now tell me how can I get that name into VB textbox of browser???

hey small mistake
I will be using VB.net to open PDF through Windows application...

Hi UVSAR,

Can u please tell me how to get the control of javascript into my dot net application?
I have been waiting for sooo long ...
its really very important.

You can create a link to the JavaScript engine "root object" from your IAC code by declaring an instance of pdDoc.GetJSObject() once you've opened the file and linked to the pdDoc() object. The properties of JSObject are the properties of the JavaScript engine, so you can invoke member functions on it:


Object jsObj = pdDoc.GetJSObject();
Type T = jsObj.GetType();

String newFileName = "myfile.pdf";
object[] saveAsParam = { newFileName };
T.InvokeMember("saveAs",BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | BindingFlags.Public |
BindingFlags.Instance, null, newDoc, saveAsParam);

double nPages = (double)T.InvokeMember("numPages", BindingFlags.GetProperty |
BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance, null, jsObj, null);

We don't generally provide detailed support on these forums for people using IAC, as without seeing the external code it becomes a complex and time-consuming process to steer a novice user through a case-specific workflow. Handling events in the host that are fired from within the PDF's JavaScript object is not something the IAC was designed to do - it's primarily a system for controlling the PDF viewer instance, not for listening to it.

For specific questions on the IAC methods and properties exposed by Acrobat and Adobe Reader you're best to post your question in the Acrobat SDK Forum.

thank you
