Yes, that works here too. I get the desired textbox. Now I need to figure out whether it is possible to get the selected text inside that textbox.
something like oDoc.getCurrentSelection()
unfortunately only works on the writer page behind the form
thank you for all the sample code
Jens
You get that from the view....
Dim oController Dim oControlView
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools") oController = ThisComponent.getCurrentController() REM Look in the tools library, the ModulesControl module. oControlView = GetControlView(ThisComponent, oController, "TextBox1") MsgBox oControlView.getSelectedText()
Great!
that was the missing peace. Together with an inputBox and some string functions I do now have the desired macro to add tags to selected text in my database form
thank you
Jens
