Master Page question.

  • Hi.

If I don't need any objects on each non master pages, can I just ignore the master page?

I take it that the master is only used for inheritance ? I mean to allow al pages to inherit objects from the master if needed ?

I apologize if I didn't understand the docs, but have been ill and on lots of meds.

Also, is there a tutorial that I must have over looked in building plugins? Can you use Visual Neo Win or do you need something like C++ to do so?

Thanks in advance

Tim

There are some differences between the platform infrastructures of VisualNEOWin and VisualNEOWeb; so you might consider posting your questions in the appropriate subsections. Otherwise you risk getting the right answers to the wrong questions (platforms).

This particular post appears to be about VisualNEOWin, but is posted in the VisualNEOWeb subsection; both your questions have different answers depending on the product in question.

I'm so sorry.   I didn't realize I posted in VisualNeoWeb. My mistake..

The Master Page (1 per publication) can be left empty or contain objects.

Other pages can be made to include/exclude objects in the Master Page ...

a) At design time ... Page >>> Properties ... has a Check Box - Show items from Master Page

b) At run time ... using commands ShowMasterPage and HideMasterPage ... for details, visit https://winhelp.visualneo.com/Pages.html

Also, this page ... https://winhelp.visualneo.com/WorkingwithPages.html ... might explain things better ...

Each publication also contains a special page called the Master Page. The Master Page typically contains elements that are common to most (or all) pages in a publication. Common elements may include navigational buttons, titles, page numbers, etc. You can add, modify and delete objects on the Master Page just as you would on any other page. The difference is, objects placed on the Master Page will also appear in the background of other pages.

You can not build VisualNEOWin plugins using NeoBook commands ... but you might want to check out this plugin ... https://visualneo.com/product/hpwplayaction

VisualNEOWin plugins are built using DELPHI and C++ ... others have built then using additional languages ... there is a Help file associated with all aspects of building such plugins, but I can not find it (perhaps, others can point out).

The help file is included with VisualNEO Win Plugin SDK. Please check the downloads section:
