Get next spelling/grammar errors via the API

[OlivierR]

Hi *,

Do you know a way to go to the next spelling/grammar error from the cursor via the API?

Or is there a method to list all spelling/grammar errors found in a document?

Macros would not be necessary, since by pressing the F7 key we have everything.

Here is a possible example that maybe you could improve and adapt to your needs.
It's a macro for Writer:

Code: Select all

Sub SpellingError
  Dim aEmpty(0) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
  Dim locale As New com.sun.star.lang.Locale
   locale.Language = "en"
    locale.Country = "US"
            SpellC = createUnoService("com.sun.star.linguistic2.SpellChecker")
  			 oText = ThisComponent.Text
           oCursor = oText.CreateTextCursor()
   oSentenceCursor = oText.CreateTextCursor()
  Do While oCursor.gotoNextWord(True)
    oSentenceCursor.gotoRange(oCursor.getStart(), False)
    Do While oSentenceCursor.gotoNextWord(True) AND oText.compareRegionEnds(oSentenceCursor, oCursor) >= 0
			  dato = Trim(oSentenceCursor.String)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------			  
			  dato = replace(dato, Chr(13) + Chr(10), "")
			  dato = replace(dato, ":","")
			  dato = replace(dato, ".","")
			  dato = replace(dato, ";","")
			  dato = replace(dato, ",","")
			  dato = replace(dato, "-","")
			  dato = replace(dato, "_","")
			  'ETC			  
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------			  
			  	oReturn = SpellC.isValid(dato, locale, aEmpty())
	    If oReturn = False Then
	    acum = acum & chr(13) & dato
	end if  			
   Loop
    	oCursor.goRight(0, False)
  	Loop
  			msgbox acum, , "MisSpellings"
End Sub

Thanks for the answer.

But I don’t want to parse anew a text that had already been parsed. What I’d like is to go to the next error already found. And BTW I’m much more interested by grammar errors than spelling mistakes.

I also need to list all errors. In LO, a grammar error is defined by a structure (https://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/com ... Error.html) that would allow to sort them.
