[SOLVED] How can I re-index TextFrames?

[lknoll]

is there a way to re-index text frames in a writer document?

for example, i start with 2 text frames in this order:
Frame 1
Frame 2

i insert a new text frame in between these frames, so it now the order looks like this:
Frame 1
Frame 3
Frame 2

when i view ThisComponent.TextFrames.ElementNames, i see this:
index 0 = Frame 1
index 1 = Frame 2
index 2 = Frame 3

if i close the document and re-open it, openoffice will re-index the frames correctly to look like this:
index 0 = Frame 1
index 1 = Frame 3
index 2 = Frame 2

is there anyway i can programmatically re-index the frames without closing the document?

Hi,
Don't use index to get a particular text frame. You should name each frame and get them with getByName() method. You can change the name of a text frame with its setName() method.
