Hi,

Is there any script function to change the workspace to use the default setting?

The action I would like to do in the script function is just like click on the Menu [Window] => [Workspace] and then select [Default] using the mouse.

Please advise. Thank you.

Henry

var myMenuAction = app.menuActions.item("$ID/Default Workspace");
myMenuAction.invoke();

Hi Kaysyan & Peter,

Thank you for your response. Actually, I want to use VB.net to call the function and the version of InDesign I'm using is InDesign CS.

I've tried both your codes and found there were no such functions in my version of Indesign for calling.

Do you know how can I trigger the function in VB.net?

Please advise. Thank you.

Henry

Henry,

CS and CS2 don't have a method applyWorkspace (which rules out my method), and before CS3 (or CS4) you couldn't invoke menu items (which rules out Kasyan's method). So this looks difficult. Maybe there's a trick in VB but I don't know.

You might be able to do it using SendKeys, which simply sends keystrokes to an application. This would probably be awkward and fragile, but it might work.

Thanks,

Ole
