Detecting all fields from Calc or Writer Template

[synyx]

Hi,

is there any possibility to get an enumeration over all fillable fields from a calc or writer document? I want to do this with the Java SDK from OO..

I don`t know anything about the document structure so i need this informations... If this isn`t possible, is there anyone who has experiences with parsing this informations via Java?

Any help is strongly appreciated!

Kind Regards

There are several different types of fields see the API documentation for detail
An example of enumerating over textfields is shown here http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7786

Hi dfrench,

thanks a lot for this fast answer. I believed that this should work, it seems to be quite easy to translate this code into Java. So we`ll try this. But i found no way to do this with calc documents. Is there any difference between cells which are predefined and fillable cells?

The getTextFields() Method isn`t available with calc-templates as i`ve seen.

After a bit more reading in the API i found fields in calc so this is hopefully what i need.

I will post our results later on after some test !!

Thanks a lot
