End If
End If
The example first checks whether the relevant document has been modified since it was last saved. It only
continues with the saving process if this is the case. If the document has already been assigned a URL and is not a
read-only document, it is saved under the existing URL. If it does not have a URL or was opened in its read-only
status, it is saved under a new URL.
storeAsURL Method Options
As with the loadComponentFromURL method, some options can also be specified in the form of a
PropertyValue data field using the storeAsURL method. These determine the procedure OpenOffice.org uses
when saving a document. storeAsURL provides the following options:
CharacterSet (String)
defines which set of characters a document is based on.
FilterName (String)
specifies a special filter for the loadComponentFromURL function. The filter names available are defined
in the \share\config\registry\instance\org\openoffice\office\TypeDetection.xml file.
FilterData (String)
defines additional options for filters.
FilterOptions (String)
defines additional options (used by old filters).
Overwrite (Boolean)
allows a file which already exists to be overwritten without a query.
Password (String)
transfers the password for a protected file.
Unpacked (Boolean)
saves the document (not compressed) in sub-directories.
The possibility to store documents in unpacked way is not currently supported, the "Unpacked" property is
just ignored, see Issue 64364 .
The following example shows how the Overwrite option can be used in conjunction with storeAsURL:
Dim Doc As Object
Dim FileProperties(0) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
Dim Url As String
' ... Initialize Doc
Url = "file:///c:/test3.odt"
FileProperties(0).Name = "Overwrite"
FileProperties(0).Value = True
Doc.storeAsURL(Url, FileProperties())
The example then saves Doc under the specified file name if a file already exists under the name.
Printing Documents
Similar to saving, documents are printed out directly by means of the document object. The Print method of the
com.sun.star.view.Xprintable interface is provided for this purpose. In its simplest form, the print call is:
Dim Dummy()
Doc.print(Dummy())
As in the case of the loadComponentFromURL method, the Dummy parameter is a PropertyValue data field
through which OpenOffice.org can specify several options for printing.
