Methods

MethodDescription
get_DisplayResult()Gets the text that represents the displayed field result.
get_End() constGets the node that represents the field end.
get_EntryName() overrideGets or sets the name of the AutoText entry.
get_FieldEnd() constGets the node that represents the field end.
get_FieldStart() constGets the node that represents the start of the field.
get_Format()Gets a FieldFormat object that provides typed access to field’s formatting.
get_IsDirty()Gets whether the current result of the field is no longer correct (stale) due to other modifications made to the document.
get_IsLocked()Gets or sets whether the field is locked (should not recalculate its result).
get_LocaleId()Gets or sets the LCID of the field.
get_Result()Gets or sets text that is between the field separator and field end.
get_Separator()Gets the node that represents the field separator. Can be null.
get_Start() constGets the node that represents the start of the field.
virtual get_Type() constGets the Microsoft Word field type.
GetFieldCode()Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator). Both field code and field result of child fields are included.
GetFieldCode(bool)Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).
GetType() const override
Is(const System::TypeInfo&) const override
Remove()Removes the field from the document. Returns a node right after the field. If the field’s end is the last child of its parent node, returns its parent paragraph. If the field is already removed, returns null.
set_EntryName(const System::String&)Setter for Aspose::Words::Fields::FieldAutoText::get_EntryName.
set_IsDirty(bool)Sets whether the current result of the field is no longer correct (stale) due to other modifications made to the document.
set_IsLocked(bool)Setter for Aspose::Words::Fields::Field::get_IsLocked.
set_LocaleId(int32_t)Setter for Aspose::Words::Fields::Field::get_LocaleId.
set_Result(const System::String&)Setter for Aspose::Words::Fields::Field::get_Result.
static Type()
Unlink()Performs the field unlink.
Update()Performs the field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.
Update(bool)Performs a field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.

Examples

Shows how to display a building block with AUTOTEXT and GLOSSARY fields.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();

// Create a glossary document and add an AutoText building block to it.
doc->set_GlossaryDocument(MakeObject<GlossaryDocument>());
auto buildingBlock = MakeObject<BuildingBlock>(doc->get_GlossaryDocument());
buildingBlock->set_Name(u"MyBlock");
buildingBlock->set_Gallery(BuildingBlockGallery::AutoText);
buildingBlock->set_Category(u"General");
buildingBlock->set_Description(u"MyBlock description");
buildingBlock->set_Behavior(BuildingBlockBehavior::Paragraph);
doc->get_GlossaryDocument()->AppendChild(buildingBlock);

// Create a source and add it as text to our building block.
auto buildingBlockSource = MakeObject<Document>();
auto buildingBlockSourceBuilder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(buildingBlockSource);
buildingBlockSourceBuilder->Writeln(u"Hello World!");

SharedPtr<Node> buildingBlockContent = doc->get_GlossaryDocument()->ImportNode(buildingBlockSource->get_FirstSection(), true);
buildingBlock->AppendChild(buildingBlockContent);

// Set a file which contains parts that our document, or its attached template may not contain.
doc->get_FieldOptions()->set_BuiltInTemplatesPaths(MakeArray<String>({MyDir + u"Busniess brochure.dotx"}));

auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);

// Below are two ways to use fields to display the contents of our building block.
// 1 -  Using an AUTOTEXT field:
auto fieldAutoText = System::ExplicitCast<FieldAutoText>(builder->InsertField(FieldType::FieldAutoText, true));
fieldAutoText->set_EntryName(u"MyBlock");

ASSERT_EQ(u" AUTOTEXT  MyBlock", fieldAutoText->GetFieldCode());

// 2 -  Using a GLOSSARY field:
auto fieldGlossary = System::ExplicitCast<FieldGlossary>(builder->InsertField(FieldType::FieldGlossary, true));
fieldGlossary->set_EntryName(u"MyBlock");

ASSERT_EQ(u" GLOSSARY  MyBlock", fieldGlossary->GetFieldCode());

doc->UpdateFields();
doc->Save(ArtifactsDir + u"Field.AUTOTEXT.GLOSSARY.dotx");
