Return of DeletePages

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The Reference Guide says that DeletePages returns 1 or 0 for success/failure.

However, it seems to me that what it returns is in fact the remaining number of pages within the document. That is, it returns PageCount.

Do you confirm that ?

	Jabaltie, I had a look at the source code: You're right. The function returns the pagecount of the current document.

	So, who will talk to the iSed team in order to fix the Reference Guide ? Are they alive after all ?

	Hi! We'll take over the bugfixing, compiling in the future. A modified version of the reference guide for us members here should be a smaller problem ;-)
	Cheers, Ingo

	So you mean that you'll alter the function so that it returns 0 or 1 as originally expected ? My guess is that this is the right choice. That is, it would be more compatible with the general "mood" of the library, which is return 0 or 1. On the other hand, who's being responsible for the product ? What's going on behind the scenes ?

	Hi! From iSED i fear there's nothing going on. We'll keep this very complete and handy library alive and perhaps we can insert new functions in the future. I think it's like a dog you can often see here in germany if the holidays begin: The family wants to travel and the dog can't go with them. So doggy was pused out of the car on a highway-station. But there're friendly people, too. For example the members of an internet community. They take doggy (library) with them, feed it and give it a good, new home ;-)
	Cheers, Ingo

	Lucky the dog to be left abandoned on a highway station in Germany. Should it be in China, it would be eaten ! So you're with the sources ? Will it be a open source project or will there be another company taking care of it ?

	Hi! We all don't know... I think you've read the other sections of this forum, too? We'll establish a bit "inner circle" here. The site-license means for a whole organization. We'll offer compiled versions and bugfixing. Users without a license-key can't do anything with it - so it seems to be legal... I don't want to tell it again... please read the other topics then you'll have the hope that this fine library will be alive!
	Cheers, Ingo
