createTextCursor()

com::sun::star::text::XTextCursor createTextCursor

(

)

Returns

a new instance of a TextCursor service which can be used to travel in the given text context.

See also

com::sun::star::text::TextCursor

createTextCursorByRange()

com::sun::star::text::XTextCursor createTextCursorByRange

(

[in] com::sun::star::text::XTextRange

aTextPosition

)

Returns

a new instance of a TextCursor which is located at the specified TextRange to travel in the given text context.

The initial position is set to aTextPosition.

Parameters

aTextPosition

specifies the start position for the new TextCursor.

insertControlCharacter()

void insertControlCharacter	(	[in] com::sun::star::text::XTextRange	xRange,
		[in] short	nControlCharacter,
		[in] boolean	bAbsorb
	)
raises	(	com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException
	)

inserts a control character (like a paragraph break or a hard space) into the text.

See also

com::sun::star::text::ControlCharacter

insertString()

void insertString	(	[in] com::sun::star::text::XTextRange	xRange,
		[in] string	aString,
		[in] boolean	bAbsorb
	)

inserts a string of characters into the text.

The string may contain the following white spaces:

• blank
• tab
• cr (which will insert a paragraph break)
• lf (which will insert a line break)

Parameters

xRange

specifies the position of insertion. For example, XSimpleText::createTextCursor() can be used to get an XTextRange for this argument.

If the parameter bAbsorb() was TRUE the text range will contain the new inserted string, otherwise the range (and it's text) will remain unchanged.

Parameters

aString	specifies the string to insert.
bAbsorb	specifies whether the text spanned by xRange will be replaced. If TRUE then the content of xRange will be replaced by aString, otherwise aString will be inserted at the beginning of xRange.

xText.insertString( xTextCursor, "Hello " + aName + ",", false )

xText.insertControlCharacter( xTextCursor,
    ControlCharacter.PARAGRAPH_BREAK, false );

xText.insertString( xTextCursor, "more text ...", false )
