Make visible cell selection in Writer with Basic Macro

[jorn]

Hi,

I am writing a macro to perform some operations on a cell in a table. Before I do anything, I want to visibly show the user which cell is being operated on. So I want to visibly highlight/select the cell the cursor is currently at, not just the text.



Is that possible? I have been looking at some code using cursors and while I can change the text properties such as colors, I cannot make the cell appear selected.

Any ideas.

Thanks.

Hi,
try this

Code: Select all

Sub select_Cell_Texttable
    oTexttables = thiscomponent.texttables
    oTable1 = oTexttables.getByName("Table1")
    ocell = oTable1.getcellbyPosition(0,0)
    'ocell = oTable1.getcellbyName("A1")
    oViewCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.ViewCursor
    oViewCursor.gotoRange(ocell,false)
    oViewCursor.goright(1,true)
    oViewCursor.goleft(1,true)
end sub

Oh sorry, I was careless: the linked example is for Calc table...
