How to copy all properties from a style

[Alan Yaniger]

Hi list-members,


I'm interested in duplicating a Writer paragraph style.

If I have the following code,

          ...

oFamilies = ThisComponent.StyleFamilies
oStyles = oFamilies.getByName("ParagraphStyles")
oldStyle = oStyles.getByIndex(1)

newStyle = ThisComponent.createInstance("com.sun.star.style.ParagraphStyle")


How do I assign to "newStyle" all the properties of "oldStyle"?


Thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan,

newStyle.ParentStyle = oldStyle.Name
oStyles.insertByName("myNewStyle", newStyle)

Regards

does it work with different spreadsheets ?
i'm not sure, i'll test when time but really not sure
actually, i loop on all properties. that is the quickest way i explored

i would assume that setting a parent style only works if the parent style
actually exists in the same document as the newStyle.

furthermore, setting a parent style is different from simply copying all
the properties over: with a parent style, the new style is linked to the
parent, so a later change to the parent style will have an effect on the
child as well, which is not the case if you just copy properties.
this may or may not be what Alan wants.
