The Structure of Spreadsheets 125
Dim Sheet As Object
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0)
If Doc.Sheets.hasByName("MySheet") Then
Sheet = Doc.Sheets.getByName("MySheet")
Else
Sheet = Doc.createInstance("com.sun.star.sheet.Spreadsheet")
Doc.Sheets.insertByName("MySheet", Sheet)
End If
The getByName and insertByName methods are from the
com.sun.star.container.XnameContainer

Rows and Columns
Each sheet contains a list of its rows and columns. These are available through the Rows
and Columns properties of the spreadsheet object and support the
and/or
com.sun.star.table.TableColumns
com.sun.star.table.TableRows
services.
The following example creates two objects that reference the first row and the first column
of a sheet and stores the references in the FirstCol and FirstRow object variables.
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Sheet As Object
Dim FirstRow As Object
Dim FirstCol As Object
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0)
FirstCol = Sheet.Columns(0)
