Rows and Columns 126
FirstRow = Sheet.Rows(0)
The column objects support the
com.sun.star.table.TableColumn
service that has the following properties:
Width (long)
width of a column in hundredths of a millimeter.
OptimalWidth (Boolean)
sets a column to its optimum width.
IsVisible (Boolean)
displays a column.
IsStartOfNewPage (Boolean)
when printing, creates a page break before a column.
The width of a column is only optimized when the OptimalWidth property is set to True. If
the width of an individual cell is changed, the width of the column that contains the cell is
not changed. In terms of functionality, OptimalWidth is more of a method than a property.
The row objects are based on the
com.sun.star.table.RowColumn
service that has the following properties:
Height (long)
height of the row in 100ths of a millimeter.
OptimalHeight (Boolean)
sets the row to its optimum height.
IsVisible (Boolean)
displays the row.
IsStartOfNewPage (Boolean)
when printing, creates a page break before the row.
If the OptimalHeight property of a row is set to the True, the row height changes
automatically when the height of a cell in the row is changed. Automatic optimization
continues until the row is assigned an absolute height through the Height property.
The following example activates the automatic height optimization for the first five rows in
the sheet and makes the second column invisible.
