 |
|
I have a very simple question!
How do I get a handle to a known field (say - "com.sun.star.text.TextField.User") in a odt-doc without having to loop through an entire enumeration?
Does StarOffice offer a method for this (doc. or enum.getFieldByName() -ish) or similar? I just cannot seem to find any...
Thanx a lot!

Hi,
You can enumerate the textfields in the Writer document:
| Code: | Dim enuTF As Object, aTextField As Object
enuTF = ThisComponent.TextFields.createEnumeration
Do While enuTF.hasMoreElements
aTextField = enuTF.nextElement
if aTextField.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextField.User") then
' here is a user textfield
end if
Loop |

Thanx for your reply but...
I'm aware that I can loop thru an enumeration - That's what I want to avoid - 'cause there might be a lot of fields I need to access!
I want to 'get' the field directly by, say Name - when I already have a collection/container (enumeration/document/...) of fields or objects.
Is this really not possible?
Thanx again... |

It's possible but as I already said in another post it would be great if we had an example of the document: there are several kinds of fields in oOO and I can help you if i knew what i have to search:
The "trick" in VB is to add all the fields in a collection, so you could enumerate what you need in the enumeration...

Have a nice day. |
