New Document Defaults applied to IMANEXTLib.NewProfileDlg

wolfixx

Hello,

I am using the NewProfileDlg as a User Interface to let them update attributes for multiple documents. So I don't need to rebuild the complete New Profile Dialog. I reuse this one and when the user clicks ok set all the attrbutes on all selected documents.

So far so good.

The problem is that if the user has new Document Defaults set in DeskSite or FileSite they will overwrite my settings

...
oDlg.SetAttributeValueByID(AttributeID.nrAuthor, "UserA",True)
oDlg.Show(Handle)
...
'Now the Window pops up and shows UserB a the Author (because UserB is set as Author in the New Documents Default Setting).

Is there a way where I can disable the defaults with the API?
Is there a way where I can change the defaults with the API?

Thanks for any help,
Wolfgang

I haven't tested this out, but you should be able to set the attribute values from within OnChange to override the NDD values.
