 |
|
I'm trying to build a macro that, when the user wants to print out a file, checks if all the essential data has been filled out. If something's missing (like the user's name), the visible cursor should jump to it.
The following code didn't work:
| Code: | oViewCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.getviewCursor()
oBookmark = ThisComponent.Bookmarks.getByName("your_name").Anchor
oViewCursor.gotorange(oBookmark, false) |
The second line produced the exception $arg1) |

try to select the object with the current controller. Something like:
| Code: | | ThisComponent.getCurrentController().select(object) |
Try selecting that text range...

What do I put in the select()-command?
| Code: | | ThisComponent.getCurrentController().select("your_name") |
A similar problem: I want to insert a text at a bookmark, but the following code doesn't work. It produces the same exception as the one above:
| Code: | | ThisComponent.getBookmarks().getByName("MyBookmark").getAnchor.setString("Input this text here") |
[/code] |

Not tested:
oViewCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.getviewCursor()
sBookmark = "your_name"
oRange = BookmarkJumping(ThisComponent,sBookmark)
oViewCursor.gotoRange(oRange, false)
oViewCursor.String = "MyString"
Function BookmarkJumping(Doc,sBookmark) as Object
oBookmark = Doc.Bookmarks.GetByName(sBookmark)
BookmarkJumping = oBookmark.Anchor.Text.CreateTextCursorByRange(oBookmark.Anchor)
End Function
Keep in mind, that a bookmark is always a range, you can select text and then insertt the bookmark.

OK, I've found the problem: a simple typing error in the name.
So far I can use the methods setString en getString, but I can not type at the bookmarkt directly.
After executing the procedure, I see the visible cursor at the bookmark for a fraction of a second, then it's gone and I can not type. |

With my posted code I can type immediately, if you want to modify the range, don't use oViewCursor.String but oRange.String =
