No. Please do not do this. Edit methods are private by design, which is
why there isn't a header file for them.
I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but creating that header file is
*not* the way to solve it. If you have some helper function which you'd
like to call from edit methods and from other places in the code, then move
that function somewhere else.
Or, if you need to call an existing edit method by name from elsewhere in
the app, you can use the following idiom:
const EV_EditMethodContainer * pEMC = pApp->getEditMethodContainer();
UT_ASSERT(pEMC);
EV_EditMethod * pEM = pEMC->findEditMethodByName("closeWindow");
UT_ASSERT(pEM); // make sure it's bound to something
if (pEM)
{
(*pEM->getFn())(pView,NULL);
return 0;
}
Would either of those work for you?
