Re: [api-dev] Number of line of a paragraph

[Stephan Wunderlich]

Hi Laurent,
using macros (but any language welcomed)
I retreive a paragraph containing text. Is there a way to know how many 
lines it represents displayed in the document ? (so, depending on the 
formats,  font, font size aso)

I know i can count characters with
num = Len(myParagraph.string)
but need know that this number is displayed on N lines
I suppose you have an XTextRange as base for your calculation.
The following macro should count the lines of a selected text, but by 
replacing the first line with your text range it should work for you too :-)

textRange = thiscomponent.currentcontroller.Selection.getByIndex(0)     
textCursor = thisComponent.getText.createTextCursorByRange(textRange)
viewCursor = thisComponent.currentcontroller.ViewCursor()
viewCursor.gotoRange(textRange,false)
viewCursor.collapseToStart()
counter = 0
while thiscomponent.getText.compareRegionEnds(textCursor,viewCursor)<0
        viewCursor.goDown(1,false)
        counter = counter +1
wend
msgbox "lines in selected paragraph "+counter
Hope that helps
Regards
Stephan
