Incomplete SDK documentation?

Does anyone know in which PDF the IContextItems collection named:
"SelectedNRTDocuments" is documented? I cannot find it in any of the PDFs that come with the SDK.

Thanks

Hey sschro,

There is a small bit about SelectedNRTDcouments in table 1.2 of the pdf "Work Extension Library Reference Manual.pdf".

I quote: "A safe array of NRTDocument objects".

There are also some examples of its use further on in the same pdf.

Hope that helps,

Matt

"SelectedNRTDocuments" is also mentioned on Pg-15 of
Creating Custom Commands in WorkSite.pdf

Thank you both for the information.

My point I think is, there is a lot not specifically documented, as in this case, SelectedNRTDocuments is only mentioned in an incidental manner, and there are many other examples. One only needs to browse the object library for IManage to see that.

They really need to clean up and consolidate the documentation.

Unfortunately, contextitems are used in a very specific way as an internal communications between the client and the extension library. They are also subject to change thus it's rather difficult to document them in a holistic manner.

While there are documentation for the IN (required, optional) and OUT (returned) contextitems for individually documented command objects, it's difficult to list all the available contextitems and all the cases they are used.

In a future release, I believe this will be redesigned as the ContextItems was always meant to be used internally thus they are not very efficiently supported by the SDK.

If you have purchased the SDK, I suggest that you send an e-mail request to DevSupport, at Worksite-Devsupport@interwoven.com, so that they can assist you in your specific case.

On that note, what are you trying to do in finding out about SelectedNRTDocuments? I might be more equipped to help if you can describe your objective in more details.
