Re: [api-dev] TabStop...

[Cristian Fonti]

Hi Michael, now i try to explain better my problem (sorry for my english..): I want to insert some text (one or two page), after a title bar, from an extern document (with insertDocumentFromURL) and i want to allign with a Tabstop like so: TITLE BAR1.........................................           some text from external document1                  ................................................           ................................................. TITLE BAR2.........................................           some text from external document2                  ................................................           ................................................. how can i do it??? if i insert a TAB character, the system only move the first row of external text... I hope that i was more clear... Thanks Hi Cristian, Just use a TAB (ASCII 9) in your string. Too simple? There is a problem, because i must insert a big text(40-50 rows), not only a string, and i want to allign the text to the tabstop... so with the TAB (ASCII 9) i can't do nothing Then I don't understand the problem at all. Or your problem is not the TAB key but the line break? That only works with XSimpleText::insertControlCharacter(), thus you have to split your text into lines (only if you want hard linebreaks) or paragraphs. XTextCursor xt = (XTextCursor)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextCursor.class,tb[0]); Here you query an XTextCursorfrom a TabStop struct? That should throw an> exception or at least return null, don't know the UNO spec for the case> where queryInterface is used on a non interface. Undefined behaviour (i.e.: never do that in your code). The current implementation will most probably return null. -Stephan XText xTextheader = (XText) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XText.class, xPropertySetStyle.getPropertyValue("HeaderText")); xTextheader.insertString(xt," CENTER TEXT IN THE HEADER",false); And this should at latest throw a null pointer exception. It does not?> Michael Ok, i understand what is the problem for the TextCursor, so how can i do to use the tabStop that i have created?? I supposed that is similiar to paragraph, so i create a XParagraphCursor and i use gotoNextParagraph, but nothing... I catn't tell, because I do not even understand what your code is supposed to do. Sorry. Maybe you have to find other words to describe your problem. Michael
