Re: I have five text frames on the one page, can I move each frame to a new page?

by Chris Fleischmann :: Rate this Message:

Hi, Yes, I am trying to calculate the height like so,

(i * page_size.Height) + 1000

The page_size.Height was calculated previously, ie.,

XStyleFamiliesSupplier xSupplier = (XStyleFamiliesSupplier)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XStyleFamiliesSupplier.class, xTextDocument_dest);

// get the NameAccess interface from the Style family collection
XNameAccess xNameAccess = xSupplier.getStyleFamilies();

XNameContainer xPageStyleCollection = (XNameContainer)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XNameContainer.class, xNameAccess.getByName(
"PageStyles"));

// create a PropertySet to set the properties for the new Pagestyle
XPropertySet xPropertySet = (XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class,
xPageStyleCollection.getByName("Default"));

// Flip the size
page_size = (Size) xPropertySet.getPropertyValue("Size");

int height = page_size.Height;
page_size.Height = page_size.Width;
page_size.Width = height;

I have also tried the following:

private void moveTextFrames() {
XTextFramesSupplier xTextFramesSupplier = (XTextFramesSupplier)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextFramesSupplier.class, xWriterComponent_dest);

XNameAccess xNamedFrames = xTextFramesSupplier.getTextFrames();

XIndexAccess xIndexAccess = (XIndexAccess)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XIndexAccess.class, xNamedFrames);

XTextContent xFrameContent[] = new XTextContent[xIndexAccess.getCount()];
XPropertySet xShapeProps[] = new XPropertySet[xIndexAccess.getCount()];

XText xText = xTextDocument_dest.getText();

XTextCursor xTextCursor = xText.createTextCursor();

for (int i = 0; i < xIndexAccess.getCount(); i++) {
try {
Any xImageAny = (Any) xIndexAccess.getByIndex(i);
Object textFrame = xImageAny.getObject();

xFrameContent[i] = (XTextContent)textFrame;

xShapeProps[i] = (XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, textFrame);

xShapeProps[i].setPropertyValue("AnchorType", TextContentAnchorType.AT_PAGE);

// Setting the vertical and horizontal position
long height = (i * page_size.Height) + 1000;

xShapeProps[i].setPropertyValue("VertOrientPosition", height);

// Insert a paragraph break into the document (not the frame)
xText.insertControlCharacter(xTextCursor, ControlCharacter.PARAGRAPH_BREAK, false);

XPropertySet xCursorProps = (XPropertySet)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, xTextCursor);

xCursorProps.setPropertyValue("BreakType", com.sun.star.style.BreakType.PAGE_AFTER);

xText.insertControlCharacter(xTextCursor, ControlCharacter.PARAGRAPH_BREAK, false);

} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());

e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Which doesn't seem to work either, see attached.

test.odt

Is there a problem specifying a "long" for the vertical position, rather than an "Integer", ie., the value when you get to page 3 or 4 is over 32768 pixels high.

Any thoughts, do I have to move the view cursor or something or somehow to get the anchor on to the next page.. I notice when I try it manually, i need to "cut" the text frame, move to the next page and paste the frame, I then notice that the anchor is moved to the right page..

At present, it seems all of the textframes remain on page1 in top/left corner.

I can happily move the textframes using the above technique around the first page, but not on to the next page....

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Chris,

AT_PAGE is the only option, but the vertical position is calqulated from
the begining off the document, so for every Page you have to ad the
hight off every page .
And i think a viewCursor gives you information about the pagenr wher
the frame is located.

Hope it helps
