Re: [dev] Programmatic XTextFrame Control with Java
Hi again, I took your code and just added some lines. Here you are: XInterface xTextFrameInterface = (XInterface) mxDocFactory.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.TextFrame); XTextContent xFrameContent = (XTextContent) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextContent.class, xTextFrameInterface); XTextRange xDocRange = (XTextRange)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextRange.class, mxDocFactory); XText xText = xDocRange.getText(); xText.insertTextContent(xDocRange, xFrameContent, false); XPropertySet xFramePropSet = (XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, xTextFrameInterface); xFramePropSet.setPropertyValue( FrameHeightAbsolute, new Long(5000)); xFramePropSet.setPropertyValue( FrameIsAutomaticHeight, Boolean.FALSE); xFramePropSet.setPropertyValue( SizeType, new Short((short)1)); This should do the trick. Note that the text frame is inserted at the end of your document. See the description of insertTextContent.

Re: [dev] Programmatic XTextFrame Control with Java
Thanks for the help and comments.
I seem to have got it working, it needs more testing.
Surly there seems to be a bug here:
xShapeProps.setPropertyValue( VertOrientPosition,
new Integer( 2 ) );
xShapeProps.setPropertyValue( HoriOrientPosition,
new Integer( 12000 ) );
These properties are defined to take longs. VertOrient
can take a long, but gives odd results and the other
one takes a long but then throws a
IllegalArgumentException.
Below is the method, I will post this somewhere on a
snippets page, after I wait to see if I get any
comments, or at least after I test it a bit more.
manipulateText() is taken directly out of the
handbook.
Code Follows
#
public void frameTest() throws java.lang.Exception
{
mxDoc = this.bean.getTextDocument();
// get its text
mxDocText = ( XText ) mxDoc.getText();
// Create a document cursor and remember it
mxDocCursor = mxDocText.createTextCursor();
// Access the text document's multi service factory
mxDocFactory = ( XMultiServiceFactory )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XMultiServiceFactory.class,
mxDoc );
// Use the document's factory to create a new text
frame and immediately access
// it's XTextFrame interface
Object objectTextFrame = mxDocFactory.createInstance(
com.sun.star.text.TextFrame );
XTextFrame xFrame = ( XTextFrame )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XTextFrame.class,
objectTextFrame );
XPropertySet xpropertyset = ( XPropertySet )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XPropertySet.class, xFrame
);
xpropertyset.setPropertyValue( AnchorType,
TextContentAnchorType.AT_PAGE );
// insert RectangleShape and get shape text, then
manipulate text
Object writerShape = mxDocFactory.createInstance(
com.sun.star.drawing.TextShape );
XShape xWriterShape = ( XShape )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XShape.class, writerShape
);
xWriterShape.setSize( new Size( 5, 5000 ) );
xWriterShape.setPosition(new Point(2,12000));
XTextContent xTextContentShape = ( XTextContent )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XTextContent.class,
writerShape );
mxDocText.insertTextContent( mxDocText.getEnd(),
xTextContentShape, false );
XPropertySet xShapeProps = ( XPropertySet )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XPropertySet.class,
writerShape );
xShapeProps.setPropertyValue( AnchorType,
TextContentAnchorType.AT_PAGE );
// Setting the vertical position
xShapeProps.setPropertyValue( VertOrient, new Short(
VertOrientation.NONE ) );
xShapeProps.setPropertyValue( HoriOrient, new Short(
HoriOrientation.NONE ) );
// Setting the vertical position
// these really should be able to take longs
xShapeProps.setPropertyValue( VertOrientPosition,
new Integer( 2 ) );
xShapeProps.setPropertyValue( HoriOrientPosition,
new Long( 12000 ) );
XText xShapeText = ( XText )
UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XText.class, writerShape );
manipulateText( xShapeText );
}

Re: [dev] Programmatic XTextFrame Control with Java
Hi Kent Gibson, this is a pure API topic, so discussion should rather go on over there (dev@api.openoffice.org). Thus I am forwarding your message. 2006/2/6, Kent Gibson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi-ya, I would like to create XTextFrames of a fixed arbitrary height and width and place them at arbitrary x and y coordinates. I can manage to get the frame, but I can't seem to size it or place it arbitrarily. I have based my code on the TextFrameExample() in TextDocuments.java. These properties seem to have no effect: XInterface xTextFrameInterface = (XInterface) mxDocFactory.createInstance(com.sun.star.text.TextFrame); XPropertySet xFramePropSet = (XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, xTextFrameInterface); xFramePropSet.setPropertyValue( FrameHeightAbsolute, new Long(5000)); xFramePropSet.setPropertyValue( FrameIsAutomaticHeight, new Boolean(false)); xFramePropSet.setPropertyValue( SizeType, new Short((short)1)); Also when I use xShape to define height and width, it doesn't seem to work either. The textframe is only as big as the text inside it. XShape xShape = ( XShape ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XShape.class, xFrame ); // Access the XPropertySet interface of the TextFrame XPropertySet xFrameProps = ( XPropertySet ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XPropertySet.class, xFrame ); // Set the size of the new Text Frame using the XShape's 'setSize' method Size aSize = new Size(); // this is probably (1/100 mm) aSize.Height = 400; aSize.Width = 15000; xShape.setSize(aSize); If anyone has any pointers that would be grand. -- Best Regards Christian Junker - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] Programmatic XTextFrame Control with Java
thanks, I am now signed up to the api list. I don't suppose in the interim my question was answered? We would really like to integrate openoffice but we need to able to place text with x,y coords and so far I can't get it to work. Does anyone even know if this is possible? Whenever I set any of these properties on a XTextFrame they are either ignored or I get IllegalArgumentException: HoriOrientPosition VertOrientPosition Width Height FrameHeightAbsolute FrameWidthAbsolute FrameWidthAbsolute FrameIsAutomaticHeight SizeType --- Christian Junker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Kent Gibson, this is a pure API topic, so discussion should rather go on over there (dev@api.openoffice.org).

Re: [dev] Programmatic XTextFrame Control with Java
Hi Kent, the text frame is only really valid after you've inserted it in the document. See http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/text/TextFrame.html for a Basic example on how to insert the frame. If you need one in Java, let me know.
