Title: Preview / Viewer Object
Post by: Jeffrey Ferreira on April 06, 2023, 02:15:54 PM

Hi List,

A long time ago Gord Davey helped me invoke a viewer object where i could interact with the viewer. I have lost the code and I cant remember how to do it. Can anyone help me with that?

thanks

jeff

Jeff,

Create a link file using /dev/null on *nix or nul on windows.  Use the driver viewer provided with PxPlus.

Hi Mike,
I'm sorry I should have given an example.
He gave me the code to do something like this:

def object viewer_obj,"Viewer"

and then i could automate some of the functions like saving it.
is this still possible?
