[Solved] TYPE error using InputStream with transferable data

[Bastien]

I'm trying to write in Python a BASIC code to copy a text from a document (keeping styles, bold or not) to another. The basic source is here viewtopic.php?f=20&t=56753&p=249848&hil ... le#p249987.
The line that raises a "CannotConvertException" is :

Code: Select all

args = (PropertyValue('InputStream', oIn, "FilterName", "writer_Rich_Text_Format"),)

Here is the complete macro:

Code: Select all

def python_bal(*args):
    """
    Main function launched from toolbar button.
    """

    desktop = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDesktop()
    ctx = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getComponentContext()
    document = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()

    # Position a cursor at the very beginning of the doc
    oVC = document.getCurrentController().getViewCursor()
    oVC.jumpToFirstPage()

    # Select text to copy with style (bold or not)
    oVC.gotoEnd(True)

    # Get transferable
    oTransferable = document.getCurrentController().getTransferable()
    dataFlavors = oTransferable.getTransferDataFlavors()

    # Get specific DataFlavor
    sType = "text/richtext"
    for flavor in dataFlavors:
        if flavor.MimeType == sType:
            aMtype = flavor

    if oTransferable.isDataFlavorSupported(aMtype):
        nData = oTransferable.getTransferData(aMtype)

    # Dark part of the trick
    oTemp = createUnoService("com.sun.star.io.TempFile")
    oOut = oTemp.getOutputStream()
    oOut.writeBytes(nData)
    oOut.flush()

    oIn = oTemp.getInputStream()

    # Create a new doc
    args = (PropertyValue('Hidden', 0, False, 0),)
    newDoc = desktop.loadComponentFromURL(
        get_template_url(), "_default", 0, args
        )

    # Position the cursor at the end of the new doc
    oText = newDoc.getText()
    oCursor = oText.createTextCursor()
    oCursor.gotoEnd(False)

    # Insert transferable data at the cursor's position
    args = (PropertyValue('InputStream', oIn, "FilterName", "writer_Rich_Text_Format"),)
    oCursor.insertDocumentFromURL("", args)

    return None

Except this exception, all the macro runs correctly. Text is selected. Transferable is ok. New doc is created. It just fails at the end.

Have you tried just using inserttransferable?

[Bastien]

Inserttransferable? What do you mean? It doesn't seem to be a method of textCursor.

[JeJe]

newDoc.getCurrentController().insertTransferable( oTransferable)

Thanks man !
Here is the working python code to do the job:

Code: Select all

def python_bal(*args):
    """
    Main function launched from toolbar button.
    """

    desktop = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDesktop()
    ctx = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getComponentContext()
    document = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()

    # Position a cursor at the very beginning of the doc
    oVC = document.getCurrentController().getViewCursor()
    oVC.jumpToFirstPage()

    # If cursor is in table, we jump over it
    while oVC.TextTable:
        oVC.goDown(1, False)

    # Select text to copy with style (bold or not)
    oVC.gotoEnd(True)

    # Get transferable
    oTransferable = document.getCurrentController().getTransferable()
    dataFlavors = oTransferable.getTransferDataFlavors()

    # Create a new doc
    args = (PropertyValue('Hidden', 0, False, 0),)
    newDoc = desktop.loadComponentFromURL(
        get_template_url(), "_default", 0, args
        )

    # Insert transferable data at the cursor's position
    oCursor = newDoc.getCurrentController().getViewCursor()
    oCursor.jumpToFirstPage()
    oCursor.jumpToNextPage()
    newDoc.getCurrentController().insertTransferable(oTransferable)

    return None
