 Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2004 1:37 am Post subject: How to determine if a table is within a selection? |
 |
|
I am trying to write a routine that searches within a selection. My problem is in determining when the found object is within a table is that table within the original selection.
I can determine if the found object is in a table with:
| Code: | | if not isEmpty(oFound.cell) then |
I can find where the table is anchored with:
| Code: | | oFound.textTable.anchor |
This returns a text range (SwxTextRange) object.
However, when I try and do anything with oFound.textTable.anchor like compare its location with a textCursor in the bodytext, or create a textCursor that's in the body text or get a textCursor to go this location I get an exception error.
The string that is returned from oFound.textTable.anchor.text.string and ThisDocument.text.string are identical (i.e the body text of the document).
I have searched the issues and not found it listed as a bug. I am running OOo1.1.1rc1 for Linux. I will download OOo1.1.1 tonight (at my connection speed it will take all night).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

|

I have now posted this as an issue:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=27268
Below is a copy of my issue posting.
Having a table in a document and running the following macro code:
| Code: | oDoc = ThisComponent
oText = oDoc.Text
oRange = oDoc.currentSelection(0)
oTextTableAnchor = oDoc.TextTables(0).anchor
msgbox oText.compareRegionEnds(oTextTableAnchor, oRange) |
produces the error: com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException when executing
the msgbox line.
Where as having a frame and running this code:
| Code: | oDoc = ThisComponent
oText = oDoc.Text
oRange = oDoc.currentSelection(0)
oTextFrameAnchor = oDoc.TextFrames(0).anchor
msgbox oText.compareRegionEnds(oTextFrameAnchor, oRange) |
doesn't produce an error.
I first found this in OOo1.1.1rc1 for Linux, and have tried it in Star Office 7
for Linux, OOo1.1.1 for Linux and OOo1.1.1 for Windows.
It is quite possible that I am not understanding something but I think that this
is a bug. The implications of the bug are that it isn't possible to determine
whether a table is within a particular range.
I have done a search on "table" in the issue list and could not find a similar
issue reported.
