Hi all,

With the next macro in Writer I can see in Xray that Style.Paratabstops has three tabstops. But in my docement there are no new tabs.

What am i doing wrong.

I have a reason to do not use the recorded uno:tabstops macro.

Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view: sub ParaTabStops DIM loDocument AS object DIM loText as object DIM loCursor AS object DIM oStyle AS object DIM loPara AS object DIM loenText aS object DIM arrayObject loDocument=ThisComponent oStyle = loDocument.createInstance( "com.sun.star.style.ParagraphStyle" ) oStyle.setName( "My new style") dim tbstps(2) as new com.sun.star.style.TabStop tbstps(0).Position = 1500 tbstps(0).Alignment = 0 tbstps(0).DecimalChar = 44 tbstps(0).FillChar = 32 tbstps(1).Position = 4500 tbstps(1).Alignment = 0 tbstps(1).DecimalChar = 44 tbstps(1).FillChar = 32 tbstps(2).Position = 7500 tbstps(2).Alignment = 0 tbstps(2).DecimalChar = 44 tbstps(2).FillChar = 32 oStyle.setPropertyValue( "ParaTabStops", tbstps() ) xray oStyle.paratabstops loText=loDocument.getText() loenText = loText.createEnumeration() loPara = loenText.nextElement() loPara.ParaStyleName = "Standaard" loCursor= loText.createTextCursor() loenText = loText.createEnumeration() loPara = loenText.nextElement() loPara.ParaStyleName = "Standaard" loText.insertString(loCursor,"First line"+Chr(13), false) loCursor= loText.createTextCursor() loText.insertString(loCursor,"Second line ", false) end sub

Kind regards,

First you have to insert the new style into the collection of paragraph styles. Also, later in the code you were applying the style Standaard, not the new style. Try this.

Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view: loDocument=ThisComponent oStyle = loDocument.createInstance( "com.sun.star.style.ParagraphStyle" ) oStyle.setName( "My new style") dim tbstps(2) as new com.sun.star.style.TabStop tbstps(0).Position = 1500 tbstps(0).Alignment = 0 tbstps(0).DecimalChar = 44 tbstps(0).FillChar = 32 tbstps(1).Position = 4500 tbstps(1).Alignment = 0 tbstps(1).DecimalChar = 44 tbstps(1).FillChar = 32 tbstps(2).Position = 7500 tbstps(2).Alignment = 0 tbstps(2).DecimalChar = 44 tbstps(2).FillChar = 32 oStyle.setPropertyValue( "ParaTabStops", tbstps() ) '######### oStyleFams = ThisComponent.StyleFamilies oPStyles = oStyleFams.getByName("ParagraphStyles") oPStyles.insertByName("My new style", oStyle) '################### 'xray oStyle.paratabstops loText=loDocument.getText() loenText = loText.createEnumeration() loPara = loenText.nextElement() loPara.ParaStyleName = "My new style" '########### loCursor= loText.createTextCursor() loenText = loText.createEnumeration() loPara = loenText.nextElement() loPara.ParaStyleName = "My new style" '########### loText.insertString(loCursor,"First line"+Chr(13), false) loCursor= loText.createTextCursor() loText.insertString(loCursor,"Second line ", false)

Hi,

Thank you very much. It works.

Posted: **Sat Oct 07, 2017 12:05 pm**

It is important to know that built-in styles are localized.

For instance, the root of paragraph styles (index 0) is always
oRootStyle = oTextDoc.StyleFamilies.getByName("ParagraphStyles").getByName("Standard")
The name you see in the GUI is oRootStyle.DisplayName ("Default Style" in English GUI, "Standard" in German GUI, possibly "Standaard" in your GUI).
Did you want to manipulate the root stlye? Use .getByIndex(0) or .getByName("Standard")

Posted: **Sat Oct 07, 2017 12:30 pm**

Hi,

It is not nessacary to change the root style, but can be an option. Good to know.

The only remaining question is that now it works in a Macro.

But translating this macro to Visual FoxPro does change the property ParaTabStops checking with xRay, but the tabstops are not activated in the document.

Does using API/COM need more property settings? I am looking to it, f.e. pagestyle,framestyle, desktop,document?

I can imagine the situation that a external program differs from starting within Writer, but what is the difference?

Kind regards,

Hi all,

VFP can not handle this:

Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view: args(0).Value = Array(Array(499,com.sun.star.style.TabAlign.LEFT,","," "),Array(1499,com.sun.star.style.TabAlign.LEFT,","," "))

array(array needs to handled like a string.

But UNO/API needs an array:

Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view: dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:Tabstops", "", 0, args())

How to convert wit executeDispatch the string "array(array" to an array?

Kind regards,

I do not know anything about the Visual FoxPro...

But as I see it, the Visual FoxPro is discontinued since 2007 (ten years!). Maybe the FoxPro can not support the 'Array of Arrays' type variables?

Zizi64,

The question can be seen as a uno/api question. This, becuase in VFP we state f.e. arg6(0)="Array(array(1500,0,32,44))" as a string. VFP can handle that.

Then we arrive in UNO/API and that needs an array and not a string. How to change that string in UNO/API to a value/array?
How to change args6 in this statement : dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:Tabstops", "", 0, args6())

Kind regards,

Why does anybody want to do this programmatically? You could simply distribute templates with styles and use them any way you want (programmatically or not) without all that trouble.
And while doing it the hard way, why do you use dispatches? The API provides everything you need: http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/comm ... raTabStops, http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/comm ... bStop.html
And while using dispatches, why do you pass an array of arbitrary data where the API requires an array of property values? http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/comm ... teDispatch

I can only guess that you do not use MRI? Why not?

But to give a direct answer on your returnning question:

In VFP you can create an array of an array.

So when you should write in UNO
args(0).name="Tabstops.TabStops"
args(0).value=array(array(1,1,1,1),array(1,1,1,1)))

In VFP it is possible to create:
DIM tbstps(4,2) or 2,4
args(1).name="Tabstops.TabStops"
To args(1).value you can add array tbstps

argsmay be more then one.

The only question for me is

Assigning array(array()) to args(1).value
seems to be not the same as
assigning tbstps to args(1).value.

Kind regards,

Jan Flikweert

Next statement does behave strange in VFP: oPStyles.insertByName("My new style", oStyle). The result is that is resets the paratabstops to the default value, buth the style is temporarely inserted. It seems to me a little strange first define a tabstop and then insert a style. With Xray I can see that before the statement the paratabstops are set as ordered.

My code applies a new style because I thought that was one of your goals. If you just want to change the tab stops on the existing Default style and affect the whole document, try this.

Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view: loDocument=ThisComponent dim tbstps(2) as new com.sun.star.style.TabStop tbstps(0).Position = 1500 tbstps(0).Alignment = 0 tbstps(0).DecimalChar = 44 tbstps(0).FillChar = 32 tbstps(1).Position = 4500 tbstps(1).Alignment = 0 tbstps(1).DecimalChar = 44 tbstps(1).FillChar = 32 tbstps(2).Position = 7500 tbstps(2).Alignment = 0 tbstps(2).DecimalChar = 44 tbstps(2).FillChar = 32 '######### oStyleFams = ThisComponent.StyleFamilies oPStyles = oStyleFams.getByName("ParagraphStyles") oStyle = oPStyles.getByName("Standard") oStyle.setPropertyValue( "ParaTabStops", tbstps() )

Posted: **Tue Oct 10, 2017 11:34 pm**

After 15 years I did not know that UNO type char (16 bit) has to be written as decimal. This is contrary to Basic strings and UNO strings which are encoded in UTF-8.
tbstps(1).DecimalChar = ","
tbstps(1).FillChar = "."
does not even raise an error. It seems to do nothing.

Villeroy,

We must wait and see, because until now I did not manage to get tabstops working from VFP. There is always the risk that VFP behaves different then other program languages.

But strange enough: Is there anywhere on the world a working example with tabstops with API COM, except unreadable java stuff?

Posted: **Wed Oct 11, 2017 5:17 pm**

Hi all,

In Visual Fox Pro the next code run's without error message.
The result of xRay shows a correct structure of an array for ParaTabstops of 3 tabstops.
The style can stay "Standard"
The style in the document is Standard,

oPStyle.insterbyname("My new style",oStyle) generates an error.

but

In the document I do not see the correct tabstops.

How to solve this?

What are you talking about? Where did you find working Java code? Why don't you share it with us? Just because you can not read Java does not mean that anybody else can't read it.

The StarBasic code provided by FJCC works as intended. With small syntax modifications it works as Python code as well.

You have set the tabstops of the paragraph style named "Standard" by your macro.
You have set the style and the string of the last pragraph in the document.

But - as I seen it in your code - you have not applied any TAB character in the string...

Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view: "Le derniere texte en france"

Try to use something similar code (you know the VFP):

Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view: "Le derniere " & CHR(9) & "texte " & CHR(9) & "en france"

Hi,

Above the text screen of you document there is a part where you can see at wich position the tabstops are set. For user defined they are "Bold". There I can see that they are not set. In no way. At the same time the backgroundcolor blue is visbile.

Hi,

That is the problem. As macro all ideas work. When I neede a macro I even could record a macro. But I work just like someone with Java,VB, Python c etc. with Visual Fox Pro(VFP)

The same code translated from macro to VFP does not work.

The fact "the tabstops exist and set in a paragraph style" not even mean automatically that "there are tabulator characters in the text".

Posted: **Wed Oct 11, 2017 9:29 pm**

Indeed: I did not insert tabs in the text. I never stated that. The problem is that they can be set in the paragraphstyle with macro and in VFP. In macro theay are activated and by vfp not.

DecimalChar char ","
FillChar char " "
Position long 500
Because the blue color is set and the tabstop not, I think it is a bug.

See the attachment.

and:

Who knows how to translate the next code to Java and add it to the example: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Text/Overall_Document_Features to test it?
Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view
With tbstp .Alignment = 0 .DecimalChar = 44 .FillChar = 32 .Position = 500 Endwith oStyle.SetPropertyValue("ParaTabStops",@tbstps)
