IsAutoHeight (Boolean)
table height is dynamically adapted to the content.
VertOrient (const)
vertical orientation of the text frame — details on vertical orientation of the text within
the table (values in accordance with
com.sun.star.text.VertOrientation
)
Columns
Columns are accessed in the same way as rows, using the getByIndex, getCount,
insertByIndex, and removeByIndex methods on the Column object, which is reached
through getColumns. They can, however, only be used in tables that do not contain merged
table cells. Cells cannot be formatted by column in OpenOffice.org Basic. To do so, the
method of formatting individual table cells must be used.
Cells
Each cell of a OpenOffice.org document has a unique name. If the cursor of OpenOffice.org
is in a cell, then the name of that cell can be seen in the status bar. The top left cell is
usually called A1 and the bottom right row is usually called Xn, where X stands for the
letters of the top column and n for the numbers of the last row. The cell objects are
available through the getCellByName() method of the table object. The following example
shows a loop that passes through all the cells of a table and enters the corresponding row
and column numbers into the cells.
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Table As Object
Dim Cursor As Object
Dim Rows As Object
Dim RowIndex As Integer
Dim Cols As Object
Dim ColIndex As Integer
Dim CellName As String
Dim Cell As Object
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Cursor = Doc.Text.createTextCursor()
Table = Doc.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.TextTable")
Table.initialize(5, 4)
Doc.Text.insertTextContent(Cursor, Table, False)
Rows = Table.getRows
