How to copy-paste frames from one document to other with there respective layers intact?

hi all,

 

     facing issue while copy paste frames 1 document other. have 3 frames in first documents each 1 on different layer. first document has 3 layers. second document have 3 layers , copying frames first document scrapdata using 'icopycmddata ' , 'kcopycmdboss'. have 'paste remembers layers' menu 'checked' on layer panel. using following function copy frames scrapdata.

 

bool16 copystencilsfromthetemplatedocumentintoscrapdata(pmstring & templatefilepath)
{
     bool16 result = kfalse;
    do
    {
        sdklayouthelper sdklhelp;

 

        pmstring filepathitemstobecopiedfrom(templatefilepath);  //("c:\\test\\aa.indt");
        idfile templateidfile(filepathitemstobecopiedfrom);
        uidref templatedocuidref = sdklhelp.opendocument(templateidfile);

        if(templatedocuidref == uidref ::gnull)                 
            break;

 

        errorcode err = sdklhelp.openlayoutwindow(templatedocuidref);
        if(err == kfailure)                 
            break;

 

        interfaceptr<idocument> templatedoc(templatedocuidref,usedefaultiid());
        if(templatedoc == nil)               
            break;
       
        interfaceptr<ispreadlist>templatespreaduidlist(templatedoc,usedefaultiid());
        if(templatespreaduidlist == nil)                  
            break;
      
        idatabase * templatedocdatabase = templatedocuidref.getdatabase();
        if(templatedocdatabase == nil)                  
            break;

 

        uidref templatedocfirstspreaduidref(templatedocdatabase, templatespreaduidlist->getnthspreaduid(0));
        interfaceptr<ispread> templatespread(templatedocfirstspreaduidref, iid_ispread);
        if(templatespread == nil)                 
            break;
      
        uidlist templateframeuidlist(templatedocdatabase);
        if(templatespread->getnthpageuid(0)== kinvaliduid)                  
            break;      
       
        templatespread->getitemsonpage(0,&templateframeuidlist,kfalse,ktrue);  

 

        interfaceptr<icommand> copystencilscmd(cmdutils::createcommand(kcopycmdboss));
        if(copystencilscmd == nil)                

            break;

     
        interfaceptr<icopycmddata> cmddata(copystencilscmd, iid_icopycmddata);
        if(cmddata == nil)                 
            break;
      
        // copy cmd own list

 

        uidlist* listcopy = new uidlist(templateframeuidlist);
        interfaceptr<iclipboardcontroller> clipboardcontroller(gsession,usedefaultiid());
        if(clipboardcontroller == nil)              

            break;

      
        errorcode status = clipboardcontroller->prepareforcopy();
        if(status == kfailure)                  
            break;
       
        interfaceptr<idataexchangehandler> scraphandler(clipboardcontroller->queryhandler(kpageitemflavor));
        if(scraphandler == nil)                 
            break;

 

        clipboardcontroller->setactivescraphandler(scraphandler);

 

        interfaceptr<ipageitemscrapdata> scrapdata(scraphandler, usedefaultiid());
        if(scrapdata== nil)                
            break;

 

        uidref parent = scrapdata->getrootnode();

        cmddata->set(copystencilscmd, listcopy, parent, scraphandler);

 

        if(templateframeuidlist.length() == 0)       
            return kfalse;      
        else      
            status = cmdutils::processcommand(copystencilscmd);    

 

        if(status != kfailure)

          result = ktrue;

 

        sdklhelp.closedocument(templatedocuidref,kfalse,k2::ksuppressui, kfalse);

 

    }while(kfalse);

    return result;

}

 

after need close first document. opening second document indt file has same number of layers first document. trying paste frames scrap data second document using '' 'icopycmddata ' , 'kpastecmdboss' shown in follwoing function

 

bool16 pastetheitemsfromscrapdataontoopendocument(uidref &documentdocuidref )
{
    bool16 result = kfalse;
    do
    {
           interfaceptr<iclipboardcontroller> clipboardcontroller(gsession,usedefaultiid());
            if(clipboardcontroller == nil)
                break;

 

           interfaceptr<idataexchangehandler> scraphandler(clipboardcontroller->queryhandler(kpageitemflavor));
           if(scraphandler == nil)               
                break;
        
           interfaceptr<ipageitemscrapdata> scrapdata(scraphandler, usedefaultiid());
            if(scrapdata == nil)
               break;
          
                 //this give list of items present on scrap
            uidlist* scrapcontents = scrapdata->createuidlist();
            if (scrapcontents->length() >= 1)
            {  
                interfaceptr<idocument> datatobesprayeddocument(documentdocuidref,usedefaultiid());
                if(datatobesprayeddocument == nil)
                   break;
              
                interfaceptr<ispreadlist>datatobesprayeddocumentspreadlist(datatobesprayeddocument,usedef aultiid());
                if(datatobesprayeddocumentspreadlist == nil)
                     break;
               
                idatabase * datatobesprayeddocdatabase = documentdocuidref.getdatabase();
                if(datatobesprayeddocdatabase == nil)
                     break;    

 

                uidref spreaduidref(datatobesprayeddocdatabase, datatobesprayeddocumentspreadlist->getnthspreaduid(0));               
                sdklayouthelper sdklhelp;
                uidref parentlayeruidref = sdklhelp.getspreadlayerref(spreaduidref);
           
                interfaceptr<ipageitemscrapdata> localscrapdata(scraphandler, usedefaultiid());
                if(localscrapdata == nil)
                    break;
                   
                if(parentlayeruidref.getuid() == kinvaliduid)
                    break;
               
                interfaceptr<icommand> pastetoclipboardcmd (cmdutils::createcommand(kpastecmdboss));
                if(pastetoclipboardcmd == nil)
                    break;
              
                interfaceptr<icopycmddata> cmddata(pastetoclipboardcmd, usedefaultiid());
                if(cmddata == nil)
                    break;
               
                if(scrapcontents == nil)
                    break;               
                               
                pmpoint offset(0.0, 0.0);
                cmddata->setoffset(offset);

 

                cmddata->set(pastetoclipboardcmd, scrapcontents, parentlayeruidref );
                errorcode status = cmdutils::processcommand(pastetoclipboardcmd);
                if(status == ksuccess)
                {
                    ca("result = ktrue");
                    result = ktrue;
                }
            }//end if (scrapcontents->length() >= 1)       
    }while(kfalse);
    return result;
}

 

     here in above function required set parent layer uidref , because of frames getting paste in 1 layer.

is there way can paste frame in there respective layers?

     need work code cs4 server , desktop indesign.

 

thanks in advance,
