I'm glad (in an ironic sense) to see that I'm not the only person who is asking
for the API to expose the GUI elements. In a more literal sense, I'm sorry to
see it. Please, please, please... Expose the new GUI to the API so we can
make plug-ins that interact reasonably with the user's session. This is
especially important now because the whole point of the new GUI is to give the
user more control over the environment. And yet, any plug-in that adds
documents or uses FrameMaker in any way to display or capture information runs
the risk of disrupting the user's setup. This puts plug-in developers in the
unfortunate position of being at cross-purposes with Adobe and the FrameMaker
users.
(And while you're at it, make a notification for every time you generate an ID
Val attribute -- PLEASE!!!! How hard can it be?)
************************************************
The FM9 API does not expose methods
for handling or dealing with actions in the new UI elements, and because
DITA-FMx requires the replacement of the core DITA DLLs many of the
features in the resource manager are non-functional or don't work as
expected. I'm hoping that a future patch will add access to the UI features.
