Reply To: On_Document_Open_View not fired for DITA maps?

[mag3737]

As Derek mentions, the problem here really is that the map editor is kind of a closed system embedded within XMetaL, and so doesn't trigger any of the ordinary XMetaL events.

A workaround:  If you don't mind opening maps initially in “XML view”, all the usual events will fire normally.

Even there, though, On_Document_Open_View, doesn't seem to fire for maps.  I'll ask about that.

Meanwhile, there are two other (undocumented) event macros that may be useful:

On_Application_Document_Open_View
On_Application_Document_Open_Complete

Both of these events fire in the XML view both for maps and topics.
