Hi,
I have an odt writer document with 2 input text fields (added with the form
designer toolbar). I manually type text into one of the fields. I copy/pasted a
macro to see if I could grab the text within the input field but haven't had
any luck. This is the test macro in Basic:
Sub EnumerateFields
vEnum = ThisComponent.getTextFields().createEnumeration()
If Not IsNull(vEnum) Then
If vEnum.hasMoreElements() Then
Print "OK"
Else
Print "NOT OK"
End If
End If
End Sub
If I manually run this macro I get the "NOT OK" message.
What am I doing wrong?
What is the correct way of getting the text field elements?
Thanks
Vieri
I grabbed these two routines from my test modules without running them
first.... so I have no idea what state they are in, but without taking
the time to create a test document and such..... Perhaps these will help
you. I don't even know why I have them. Probably have better coverage in
OOME_3.odt or AndrewMacro.odt (but I did not check).
