Hi All,

I try to get the cell's background color with below code, but it doesn't work

Code: Select all

xCellProps = (XPropertySet)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, xCell);
				
System.out.println(xCellProps.getPropertyValue("BackColor").toString());
and it's throw exception:

Code: Select all

com.sun.star.beans.UnknownPropertyException: 
	at com.sun.star.lib.uno.environments.remote.Job.remoteUnoRequestRaisedException(Job.java:177)
	at com.sun.star.lib.uno.environments.remote.Job.execute(Job.java:143)
Please advice!

Thanks.

Hi,
Where is your cell ? in a sheet of a Calc document ? or in a table in a Writer document ? or elsewhere ?

For Calc documents, the background color is property CellBackColor.
For Writer documents, the background color is indeed property BackColor.
Read Developer's Guide...

It's cell in sheet of Calc document.

after get the CellBackColor property, it's return value like this: 16776960

Is there any method to convert the above number to string like: Yellow?

Thanks for advice!.

Use the IDL documentation of the SDK.
With the on-line IDL:
Search in the index the Property CellBackColor for service CellProperties :arrow: http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/r ... lBackColor
In the description of the property, link to ::com::sun::star::util::Color CellBackColor
You can get the Red Green Blue components of the color.

A color has no name by itself. The OOo palette only gives names to 100 colors out of (2 power 24) colors and may differ between versions (and in LibreOffice).

In LibreOffice Calc:

Go to Tools>Macros>Organize Macros>LibreOffice Basic>
My Macros>Standard>Module1

Select "Main" and click "Edit."
It will contain the empty 3-line template "REM ***BASIC****\\ Sub Main\\ End Sub".
Add this after the template:

Code: Select all

Function bgcolor(c,r)
  Dim oDoc  As Object   ' define variables
  Dim oSheet As Object
  Dim oCell As Object 
  oDoc  = ThisComponent
  oSheet= oDoc.getSheets().getByIndex(0)
  oCell = oSheet.getCellByPosition(c-1,r-1)
  bgcolor = oCell.CellBackColor
End Function
Examples:
bgcolor(3,1)
bgcolor(3, CELL("Row",A1))

  bgcolor = oCell.CellBackColor

Examples:
bgcolor(3,1)
bgcolor(3, CELL("Row",A1))
That code always returns

Code: Select all

-1
regardless of the bg color. Tested LibreOffice 5.2.2.2.
