Rows and Columns 127
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0)
For I = 0 To 4
Row = Sheet.Rows(I)
Row.OptimalHeight = True
Next I
Col = Sheet.Columns(1)
Col.IsVisible = False
The Rows and Columns lists can be accessed through an index in OpenOffice.org Basic. Unlike in VBA,
the first column has the index 0 and not the index 1.
Inserting and Deleting Rows and Columns
The Rows and Columns objects of a sheet can access existing rows and columns as well as
insert and delete them.
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Sheet As Object
Dim NewColumn As Object
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0)
Sheet.Columns.insertByIndex(3, 1)
Sheet.Columns.removeByIndex(5, 1)
This example uses the insertByIndex method to insert a new column into the fourth column
position in the sheet (index 3 - numbering starts at 0). The second parameter specifies the
number of columns to be inserted (in this example: one).
The removeByIndex method deletes the sixth column (index 5). Again, the second
parameter specifies the number of columns that you want to delete.
The methods for inserting and deleting rows use the Rows object function in the same way
as the methods shown for editing columns using the Columns object.
