Hi,

I m new to InDesign Programming. I m using InDesign CS3 on MAC OS...
Is it possible to pass values to a javascript through plugin code?
I have a dialog with textboxes in it, On clicking ok button a script is called which uses these text box values for processing. Is this possible or is this the only way: to write them into a text file and read the textfile in script....

Another simple doubt: writing to textfile
I get my textbox value as PMString, how to convert it to char*

PMString string = this->GetTextControlData(kBscDlgTextEditBoxWidgetID);
FILE* fh = FileUtils::OpenFile(file, "wt");
if (fh != NULL)
{
	fprintf(fh, "%s\n", string);
	fclose(fh);
}

This gives 2 warnings that this willcrash application during runtime...

Someone Pls guide me...

Are you looking for this:

in C++ :
Utils<IScriptArgs>()->Set(yourkeyStr ,yourvalueStr );

in JavaScript:
if(app.scriptArgs.isDefined(yourkeyStr)) {
     var yourvalueStr = app.scriptArgs.get(yourkeyStr)
}

HTH,
Kamran
