Re: Get the number of CountItems by group in CS5 extended

Hi here are some functions on how to get the length of the counts for one group:

// examples:===================

 

 

alert("there are "+getCountsInGroup(getCurrentGroup()).length+ " counts in the selected countGroup");// getting the counts for the current selected group

 

 

//getCountsInGroup(0);//get counts for the first group

// ===================================

function getCountsInGroup( idx ){

  var cArr = listCountsArr();

  return cArr[idx];

}

 

 

function getCurrentGroup(){// find the index of the selected group

  var firstArr = listCountsArr();// make a list with arrays as grpoups and inside them objects for each count

  addTempCount();// create a temp cont

  var secArr = listCountsArr();// make a second list

  theCGroup = 0;

  for( i=0; i<firstArr.length; i++){// compare the listCountsArr

  if( firstArr[i].length != secArr[i].length){

  theCGroup = i;

  break;

  }

  }

  deleteCount( secArr[theCGroup][secArr[theCGroup].length - 1].idx + 1);// detele the temp count

  return theCGroup;

}

function addTempCount(){

  var desc = new ActionDescriptor();

     desc.putDouble( charIDToTypeID( "X   " ), 0 );

     desc.putDouble( charIDToTypeID( "Y   " ), 0 );

  executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "countAdd" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );

}

function deleteCount( idx ){

  var desc = new ActionDescriptor();

     desc.putInteger( charIDToTypeID( "ItmI" ), idx );

  executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "countDelete" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );

}

function listCountsArr(){

  var cArr = new Array();

  var ref = new ActionReference();

   ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn") , charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) );

   desc1 = executeActionGet(ref);

   desc1 = desc1.getList(stringIDToTypeID('countClass'));

   var crntG = 0;

   var grpArr = new Array();

   for(var i = 0; i<desc1.count; i++){

    var gr = desc1.getObjectValue(i).getInteger(charIDToTypeID("Grup"));

    var itI = desc1.getObjectValue(i).getInteger(charIDToTypeID("ItmI"));

    var itX = desc1.getObjectValue(i).getUnitDoubleValue(charIDToTypeID("X   "));

    var itY = desc1.getObjectValue(i).getUnitDoubleValue(charIDToTypeID("Y   "));

    var cntObj = {idx:itI, x:itX, y:itY, grpIDX:gr, domI: i};

    if(crntG == gr ){

    grpArr.push(cntObj);

    }

    if(crntG != gr ){

    cArr.push(grpArr);

  grpArr = new Array();

  grpArr.push(cntObj);

  crntG = gr;

    }

  

   }

   cArr.push(grpArr);

   return cArr;

}
