Find graphics that belong to a text selection

[roland65]

Hi,

in Writer, I know how to enumerate all the graphics contained in the DrawPage object of a document, and then select these objects and manipulate them.
I use something like this (in BASIC language0):

Code: Select all

oDrawPage = oDoc.drawPage
If oDrawPage.hasElements() Then
    ' Go through graphic elements
            For j = (oDrawPage.getCount() - 1) To 0 Step -1
                oShape = oDrawPage.getByIndex(j)
                < work on  oShape >
            Next
End If

Now, I would like to restrict these operations on a text selection. I think I can still enumerate all the graphics but I need to know which of them are contained within the selected area in order to work on these. I can get the position of the graphics but I don't know how to relate this info to the selected area...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
RB

Still no answer to this question?
Thanks for any help,

Hi RB,

in a writer document you can compare the graphics anchor position if it is within the selection range. Perhaps this might be useful:

OK, thanks a lot! I'll look into the code and try to find my way...
Have a nice day,
