i folowing error:

 

invalid value set property "findchangegrepoptions". expected nothingenum enumerator, recived findchangegrepoption.

 

help! it's driving me nuts.

hello vamitul,

 

i think cannot set properties in way.

 

but try findchangegrepoptions:

 

with (app) {  

    (findchangegrepoptions) {  

      var _userincludefootnotes = includefootnotes;

      var _userincludehiddenlayers = includehiddenlayers;

      var _userincludelockedlayersforfind = includelockedlayersforfind;

      var _userincludelockedstoriesforfind = includelockedstoriesforfind;

      var _userincludemasterpages = includemasterpages;   

    } 

 

    //  stuff 

 

    (findchangegrepoptions) {    

      includefootnotes = _userincludefootnotes;

      includehiddenlayers = _userincludehiddenlayers;

      includelockedlayersforfind = _userincludelockedlayersforfind;

      includelockedstoriesforfind = _userincludelockedstoriesforfind;

      includemasterpages = _userincludemasterpages;   

    }

}

 

or this:

 

app.findchangegrepoptions.properties = { includefootnotes:_userincludefootnotes, ... };

 

app.findgreppreferences has on 200 properties! can use loop , ".reflect.properties".

 

 

best regards

roland
