I remember this particular issue, the IDL reference had a non-working example for the SearchDescriptor service as well (should have been fixed by now).
Please use what Emanuele posted, checking for IsNull(...), that should be the correct way to go.
2005/6/16, Ennio-Sr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi all,
after some further reading I realized being completely off-track when I
sent a few messages relating to Paolo Mantovani's original post about
the service cssu.TextSearch; these may have annoyed some of you as well
as spoiled the OP's query.
Therefore I do apologize for my behaviour, driven by a miked of
inexperience and enthusiasm ;(
Concerning the second part of the captioned subject,
I started reading the Star Basic Guide and tried to run one of the
examples I found there; but I'm under the impression to have picked the
wrong one for a start, as there is no way to make it run!
This example was taken from p. 102 of the Italian version:
Sub test_search
'------------------------
Dim SearchDesc As Object
Dim Doc as Object
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent '[*]
SearchDesc=Doc.createSearchDescriptor
SearchDesc.SearchString="test"
SearchDesc.SearchSimilarity= True
SearchDesc.SearchAdd= 2
SearchDesc.SearchRemove= 2
SearchDesc.SearchRelax= False
Found = Doc.findFirst(SearchDesc)
Do while Found
Found.CharWeight = com.sun.star.awt.FontWeight.BOLD
Found = Doc.findNext(Found.End,Search)
Loop
end sub
' -------------------------------------------------
[*] BASIC runtime error: Property or method not found.
------------
Searching the ML I saw a similar post by Daniel Carrera ("The StarBasic
guide is boken" - 12 Aug 2004) which quoted a different example; so my
question is: what should I start reading (methodically) to basic Basic?
Regards,
Ennio.
