Examples

Shows how to work with drop down-list structured document tags.

doc = aw.Document()
tag = aw.markup.StructuredDocumentTag(doc, aw.markup.SdtType.DROP_DOWN_LIST, aw.markup.MarkupLevel.BLOCK)
doc.first_section.body.append_child(tag)
# A drop-down list structured document tag is a form that allows the user to
# select an option from a list by left-clicking and opening the form in Microsoft Word.
# The "list_items" property contains all list items, and each list item is an "SdtListItem".
list_items = tag.list_items
list_items.add(aw.markup.SdtListItem('Value 1'))
self.assertEqual(list_items[0].display_text, list_items[0].value)
# Add 3 more list items. Initialize these items using a different constructor to the first item
# to display strings that are different from their values.
list_items.add(aw.markup.SdtListItem('Item 2', 'Value 2'))
list_items.add(aw.markup.SdtListItem('Item 3', 'Value 3'))
list_items.add(aw.markup.SdtListItem('Item 4', 'Value 4'))
self.assertEqual(4, list_items.count)
# The drop-down list is displaying the first item. Assign a different list item to the "selected_value" to display it.
list_items.selected_value = list_items[3]
self.assertEqual('Value 4', list_items.selected_value.value)
# Enumerate over the collection and print each element.
for item in list_items:
    if item is not None:
        print(f'List item: {item.display_text}, value: {item.value}')
# Remove the last list item.
list_items.remove_at(3)
self.assertEqual(3, list_items.count)
# Since our drop-down control is set to display the removed item by default, give it an item to display which exists.
list_items.selected_value = list_items[1]
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'StructuredDocumentTag.list_item_collection.docx')
# Use the "clear" method to empty the entire drop-down item collection at once.
list_items.clear()
self.assertEqual(0, list_items.count)
