Let's get a reference of a Table with the following code :
Code: Select all
myDocument = ThisComponent
myTable = myDocument.TextTables.getByName( "Table1" )
How can I get the width of the first column in my table ?

Code: Select all
Sub WhereIsColumnsDelimiters(Optional numTable%)
Dim oTextTables As Object
Dim oTextTable As Object
Dim oColumns, i%
If IsMissing(numTable) Then numTable = 0
oTextTables = ThisComponent.getTextTables()
If oTextTables.getCount() = 0 Then Exit Sub
oTextTable = oTextTables.getByIndex(numTable)
oColumns = oTextTable.getPropertyValue("TableColumnSeparators")
For i = 0 To UBound(oColumns)
print " " & (i+1) & " column finished at " & oColumns(i).Position
Next i
End Sub

Thanks, it seems to work. But in which unit the oColumns(i).Position is returned ? How can I convert the value returned to "centimeters" ?

Oh, sorry! See
here
"The real width of a table depends on the environment (page style and number of text columns at the table's position, alignment, and left and right margins). For that reason, the table column separator does not contain metric values for the column widths. The values are relative to the value of the property TextTable::TableColumnRelativeSum."
But you can try
