Aspose::Words::Fields::Field::GetFieldCode method

Field::GetFieldCode() method

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.

System::String Aspose::Words::Fields::Field::GetFieldCode()

Examples

Shows how to insert a field into a document using a field code.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);

SharedPtr<Field> field = builder->InsertField(u"DATE \\@ \"dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy\"");

ASSERT_EQ(FieldType::FieldDate, field->get_Type());
ASSERT_EQ(u"DATE \\@ \"dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy\"", field->GetFieldCode());

// This overload of the InsertField method automatically updates inserted fields.
ASSERT_LE(System::Math::Abs((System::DateTime::Parse(field->get_Result()) - System::DateTime::get_Today()).get_Hours()), 24);

Shows how to get a field’s field code.

// Open a document which contains a MERGEFIELD inside an IF field.
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(MyDir + u"Nested fields.docx");
auto fieldIf = System::ExplicitCast<FieldIf>(doc->get_Range()->get_Fields()->idx_get(0));

// There are two ways of getting a field's field code:
// 1 -  Omit its inner fields:
ASSERT_EQ(u" IF  > 0 \" (surplus of ) \" \"\" ", fieldIf->GetFieldCode(false));

// 2 -  Include its inner fields:
ASSERT_EQ(String::Format(u" IF \u0013 MERGEFIELD NetIncome \u0014\u0015 > 0 \" (surplus of \u0013 MERGEFIELD  NetIncome \\f $ \u0014\u0015) \" \"\" "),
          fieldIf->GetFieldCode(true));

// By default, the GetFieldCode method displays inner fields.
ASSERT_EQ(fieldIf->GetFieldCode(), fieldIf->GetFieldCode(true));
