Retrieve / Modify custom properties

[jacklafrip]

Dear all,

I have a document that uses some custom properties.
These properties are used in other documents, so I want to use them.
I tried to retrieve the custom properties and modify the texts associated with them.

Code: Select all

XPropertySet xCustomProperty = (XPropertySet)((XMultiServiceFactory)TextDocument).createInstance("com.sun.star.text.textfield.docinfo.Custom");
xCustomProperty.setPropertyValue("Name", new uno.Any("CustomProperty1"));
xCustomProperty.setPropertyValue("CurrentPresentation", new uno.Any("TextForProperty"));
xCustomProperty.setPropertyValue("IsFixed", new uno.Any(true));

No modifications could be seen on the document.
What did I do for a mistake ?

Thanks

Hi, I ran into the same problem, was there a solution?

The answer is the same for 90% of all these questions.
1. Read the above linked book.
2. Install MRI. [Tutorial] Introduction into object inspection with MRI
No MRI, no macros.

I read the article above, but there is an example with fieldmaster, writing to user variables is normal for me. But writing to docinfo does not occur. Could you give an example of an entry in docinfo?

You know what? I don't know. I start MRI and look it up!

The UserDefinedProperties are implemented as a PropertyBag. This service inherits the interface XPropertyContainer which provides the functions you need.
See https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/re ... ainer.html e.g.

in Basic:

Code: Select all

propname = "New Property"
propvalue = "fish"

	with ThisComponent.DocumentProperties.UserDefinedProperties

		if .getPropertySetInfo().hasPropertyByName(propname) = false then
			.addProperty(propname,128,"")
		end if
			.setPropertyValue(propname, propvalue)
	
			MSGBOX .getPropertyValue(propname)
	end with
