StructuredDocumentTag

Inheritance: java.lang.Object, com.aspose.words.Node, com.aspose.words.CompositeNode

All Implemented Interfaces: com.aspose.words.IStructuredDocumentTag

public class StructuredDocumentTag extends CompositeNode implements IStructuredDocumentTag

Represents a structured document tag (SDT or content control) in a document.

To learn more, visit the Structured Document Tags or Content Control documentation article.

Remarks:

Structured document tags (SDTs) allow to embed customer-defined semantics as well as its behavior and appearance into a document.

In this version Aspose.Words provides a number of public methods and properties to manipulate the behavior and content of StructuredDocumentTag. Mapping of SDT nodes to custom XML packages within a document can be performed with using the getXmlMapping() property.

StructuredDocumentTag can occur in a document in the following places:

• Block-level - Among paragraphs and tables, as a child of a Body, HeaderFooter, Comment, Footnote or a Shape node.
• Row-level - Among rows in a table, as a child of a Table node.
• Cell-level - Among cells in a table row, as a child of a Row node.
• Inline-level - Among inline content inside, as a child of a Paragraph.
• Nested inside another StructuredDocumentTag.

Examples:

Shows how to work with styles for content control elements.

 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // Below are two ways to apply a style from the document to a structured document tag.
 // 1 -  Apply a style object from the document's style collection:
 Style quoteStyle = doc.getStyles().getByStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.QUOTE);
 StructuredDocumentTag sdtPlainText = new StructuredDocumentTag(doc, SdtType.PLAIN_TEXT, MarkupLevel.INLINE);
 sdtPlainText.setStyle(quoteStyle);

 // 2 -  Reference a style in the document by name:
 StructuredDocumentTag sdtRichText = new StructuredDocumentTag(doc, SdtType.RICH_TEXT, MarkupLevel.INLINE);
 sdtRichText.setStyleName("Quote");

 builder.insertNode(sdtPlainText);
 builder.insertNode(sdtRichText);

 Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG, sdtPlainText.getNodeType());

 NodeCollection tags = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG, true);

 for (StructuredDocumentTag sdt : (Iterable) tags) {
     Assert.assertEquals(StyleIdentifier.QUOTE, sdt.getStyle().getStyleIdentifier());
     Assert.assertEquals("Quote", sdt.getStyleName());
 }

StructuredDocumentTag(DocumentBase doc, int type, int level)

public StructuredDocumentTag(DocumentBase doc, int type, int level)

Initializes a new instance of this class.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
doc	DocumentBase
type	int
level	int

accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)

public boolean accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)

Accepts a visitor.

Remarks:

Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.

For more info see the Visitor design pattern.

Calls DocumentVisitor.visitStructuredDocumentTagStart(com.aspose.words.StructuredDocumentTag), then calls Node.accept(com.aspose.words.DocumentVisitor) for all child nodes of the smart tag and calls DocumentVisitor.visitStructuredDocumentTagEnd(com.aspose.words.StructuredDocumentTag) at the end.

appendChild(Node newChild)

public Node appendChild(Node newChild)

Adds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes for this node.

Remarks:

If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use M:Aspose.Words.DocumentBase.ImportNode(Aspose.Words.Node,System.Boolean,Aspose.Words.ImportFormatMode) to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

Examples:

Shows how to construct an Aspose.Words document by hand.

 Document doc = new Document();

 // A blank document contains one section, one body and one paragraph.
 // Call the "RemoveAllChildren" method to remove all those nodes,
 // and end up with a document node with no children.
 doc.removeAllChildren();

 // This document now has no composite child nodes that we can add content to.
 // If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection.
 // First, create a new section, and then append it as a child to the root document node.
 Section section = new Section(doc);
 doc.appendChild(section);

 // Set some page setup properties for the section.
 section.getPageSetup().setSectionStart(SectionStart.NEW_PAGE);
 section.getPageSetup().setPaperSize(PaperSize.LETTER);

 // A section needs a body, which will contain and display all its contents
 // on the page between the section's header and footer.
 Body body = new Body(doc);
 section.appendChild(body);

 // Create a paragraph, set some formatting properties, and then append it as a child to the body.
 Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);

 para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");
 para.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);

 body.appendChild(para);

 // Finally, add some content to do the document. Create a run,
 // set its appearance and contents, and then append it as a child to the paragraph.
 Run run = new Run(doc);
 run.setText("Hello World!");
 run.getFont().setColor(Color.RED);
 para.appendChild(run);

 Assert.assertEquals("Hello World!", doc.getText().trim());

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Section.CreateManually.docx");
 

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
newChild	Node	The node to add.

Returns: Node - The node added.

clear()

public void clear()

Clears contents of this structured document tag and displays a placeholder if it is defined.

Remarks:

It is not possible to clear contents of a structured document tag if it has revisions.

If this structured document tag is mapped to custom XML (with using the getXmlMapping() property), the referenced XML node is cleared.

Examples:

Shows how to delete contents of structured document tag elements.

 Document doc = new Document();

 // Create a plain text structured document tag, and then append it to the document.
 StructuredDocumentTag tag = new StructuredDocumentTag(doc, SdtType.PLAIN_TEXT, MarkupLevel.BLOCK);
 doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(tag);

 // This structured document tag, which is in the form of a text box, already displays placeholder text.
 Assert.assertEquals("Click here to enter text.", tag.getText().trim());
 Assert.assertTrue(tag.isShowingPlaceholderText());

 // Create a building block with text contents.
 GlossaryDocument glossaryDoc = doc.getGlossaryDocument();
 BuildingBlock substituteBlock = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc);
 substituteBlock.setName("My placeholder");
 substituteBlock.appendChild(new Section(glossaryDoc));
 substituteBlock.getFirstSection().ensureMinimum();
 substituteBlock.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(new Run(glossaryDoc, "Custom placeholder text."));
 glossaryDoc.appendChild(substituteBlock);

 // Set the structured document tag's "PlaceholderName" property to our building block's name to get
 // the structured document tag to display the contents of the building block in place of the original default text.
 tag.setPlaceholderName("My placeholder");

 Assert.assertEquals("Custom placeholder text.", tag.getText().trim());
 Assert.assertTrue(tag.isShowingPlaceholderText());

 // Edit the text of the structured document tag and hide the placeholder text.
 Run run = (Run) tag.getChild(NodeType.RUN, 0, true);
 run.setText("New text.");
 tag.isShowingPlaceholderText(false);

 Assert.assertEquals("New text.", tag.getText().trim());

 // Use the "Clear" method to clear this structured document tag's contents and display the placeholder again.
 tag.clear();

 Assert.assertTrue(tag.isShowingPlaceholderText());
 Assert.assertEquals("Custom placeholder text.", tag.getText().trim());
 

clearRunAttrs()

public void clearRunAttrs()

dd()

public void dd()

deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)

public Node deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)

Creates a duplicate of the node.

Remarks:

This method serves as a copy constructor for nodes. The cloned node has no parent, but belongs to the same document as the original node.

This method always performs a deep copy of the node. The isCloneChildren parameter specifies whether to perform copy all child nodes as well.

Examples:

Shows how to clone a composite node.

 Document doc = new Document();
 Paragraph para = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();
 para.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));

 // Below are two ways of cloning a composite node.
 // 1 -  Create a clone of a node, and create a clone of each of its child nodes as well.
 Node cloneWithChildren = para.deepClone(true);

 Assert.assertTrue(((CompositeNode) cloneWithChildren).hasChildNodes());
 Assert.assertEquals("Hello world!", cloneWithChildren.getText().trim());

 // 2 -  Create a clone of a node just by itself without any children.
 Node cloneWithoutChildren = para.deepClone(false);

 Assert.assertFalse(((CompositeNode) cloneWithoutChildren).hasChildNodes());
 Assert.assertEquals("", cloneWithoutChildren.getText().trim());
 

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
isCloneChildren	boolean	True to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself.

Returns: Node - The cloned node.

fetchInheritedRunAttr(int key)

public Object fetchInheritedRunAttr(int key)

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
key	int

Returns: java.lang.Object

getAncestor(int ancestorType)

public CompositeNode getAncestor(int ancestorType)

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
ancestorType	int

Returns: CompositeNode

getAncestor(Class ancestorType)

public CompositeNode getAncestor(Class ancestorType)

Gets the first ancestor of the specified object type.

Remarks:

The ancestor type matches if it is equal to ancestorType or derived from ancestorType .

Examples:

Shows how to find out if a tables are nested.

 public void calculateDepthOfNestedTables() throws Exception {
     Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested tables.docx");
     NodeCollection tables = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true);
     for (int i = 0; i < tables.getCount(); i++) {
         Table table = (Table) tables.get(i);

         // Find out if any cells in the table have other tables as children.
         int count = getChildTableCount(table);
         System.out.print(MessageFormat.format("Table #{0} has {1} tables directly within its cells", i, count));

         // Find out if the table is nested inside another table, and, if so, at what depth.
         int tableDepth = getNestedDepthOfTable(table);

         if (tableDepth > 0)
             System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Table #{0} is nested inside another table at depth of {1}", i, tableDepth));
         else
             System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Table #{0} is a non nested table (is not a child of another table)", i));
     }
 }

 // Calculates what level a table is nested inside other tables.
 //
 // Returns An integer containing the level the table is nested at.
 // 0 = Table is not nested inside any other table
