The Structure of Spreadsheets HoriJustify (enum) horizontal justification of the text (value from com.sun.star.table.CellHoriJustify) VertJustify (enum) vertical justification of the text (value from com.sun.star.table.CellVertJustify) Orientation (enum) orientation of text (value in accordance with com.sun.star.table.CellOrientation) IsTextWrapped (Boolean) permits automatic line breaks within the cell RotateAngle (Long) angle of rotation of text in hundredths of a degree The following example shows how you can "stack" the contents of a cell so that the individual characters are printed one under another in the top left corner of the cell. The characters are not rotated. Dim Doc As Object Dim Sheet As Object Dim Cell As Object Doc = ThisComponent Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0) Cell = Sheet.getCellByPosition(1,1) Cell.Value = 1000 Cell.HoriJustify = com.sun.star.table.CellHoriJustify.LEFT Cell.VertJustify = com.sun.star.table.CellVertJustify.TOP Cell.Orientation = com.sun.star.table.CellOrientation.STACKED Number, Date and Text Format OpenOffice.org provides a whole range of predefined date and time formats. Each of these formats has an internal number that is used to assign the format to cells using the NumberFormat property. OpenOffice.org provides the queryKey and addNew methods so that you can access existing number formats as well as create your own number formats. The methods are accessed through the following object call: NumberFormats = Doc.NumberFormats A format is specified using a format string that is structured in a similar way to the format function of OpenOffice.org Basic. However there is one major difference: whereas the command format expects English abbreviations and decimal points or characters as thousands separators, the country-specified abbreviations must be used for the structure of a command format for the NumberFormats object. The following example formats the B2 cell so that numbers are displayed with three decimal places and use commas as a thousands separator. Dim Doc As Object Dim Sheet As Object Dim Cell As Object Dim NumberFormats As Object Dim NumberFormatString As String Dim NumberFormatId As Long Dim LocalSettings As New com.sun.star.lang.Locale Doc = ThisComponent Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0) Cell = Sheet.getCellByPosition(1,1) Cell.Value = 23400.3523565 LocalSettings.Language = "en" LocalSettings.Country = "us" NumberFormats = Doc.NumberFormats NumberFormatString = "#,##0.000" NumberFormatId = NumberFormats.queryKey(NumberFormatString, LocalSettings, True) If NumberFormatId = -1 Then 100 OpenOffice.org 3.2 BASIC Guide · March 2010
NumberFormatId = NumberFormats.addNew(NumberFormatString, LocalSettings) End If MsgBox NumberFormatId Cell.NumberFormat = NumberFormatId The Structure of Spreadsheets The Format Cells dialog in OpenOffice.org Calc provides an overview of the different formatting options for cells. Page Properties Page properties are the formatting options that position document content on a page as well as visual elements that are repeated page after page. These include Paper formats Page margins Headers and footers. The procedure for defining page formats differs from other forms of formatting. Whereas cell, paragraph, and character elements can be formatted directly, page formats can also be defined and indirectly applied using page styles. For example, headers or footers are added to the page style. The following sections describe the main formatting options for spreadsheet pages. Many of the styles that are described are also available for text documents. The page properties that are valid for both types of documents are defined in the com.sun.star.style.PageProperties service. The page properties that only apply to spreadsheet documents are defined in the com.sun.star.sheet.TablePageStyle service. Note – VBA : The page properties (page margins, borders, and so on) for a Microsoft Office document are defined by means of a PageSetup object at the Worksheet object (Excel) or Document object (Word) level. In OpenOffice.org, these properties are defined using a page style which in turn is linked to the associated document. Page Background The com.sun.star.style.PageProperties service defines the following properties of a pages background: BackColor (long) color of background BackGraphicURL (String) URL of the background graphics that you want to use BackGraphicFilter (String) name of the filter for interpreting the background graphics BackGraphicLocation (Enum) position of the background graphics (value according to enumeration) BackTransparent (Boolean) makes the background transparent Page Format The page format is defined using the following properties of the com.sun.star.style.PageProperties service: IsLandscape (Boolean) landscape format Width (long) width of page in hundredths of a millimeter Chapter 7 · Spreadsheet Documents 101
