CommentRangeStart

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

public class CommentRangeStart extends Node

Denotes the start of a region of text that has a comment associated with it.

To learn more, visit the Working with Comments documentation article.

Remarks:

To create a comment anchored to a region of text, you need to create a Comment and then create CommentRangeStart and CommentRangeEnd and set their identifiers to the same Comment.getId() / Comment.setId(int) value.

CommentRangeStart is an inline-level node and can only be a child of Paragraph.

Examples:

Shows how print the contents of all comments and their comment ranges using a document visitor.


 public void createCommentsAndPrintAllInfo() throws Exception {
     Document doc = new Document();

     Comment newComment = new Comment(doc);

Initializes a new instance of this class.

To append a CommentRangeStart to the document use InsertAfter or InsertBefore on the paragraph where you want the comment inserted.

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
visitorDocumentVisitorThe visitor that will visit the node.

Returns: boolean - false if the visitor requested the enumeration to stop.

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:

ParameterTypeDescription
isCloneChildrenbooleanTrue to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself.

Returns: Node - The cloned node.

getAncestor(int ancestorType)

public CompositeNode getAncestor(int ancestorType)

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
ancestorTypeint

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
 // 1 = Table is nested within one parent table
 // 2 = Table is nested within two parent tables etc..

     while (parent != null) {
         depth++;
         parent = parent.getAncestor(Table.class);
     }

     return depth;
 }

 // Determines if a table contains any immediate child table within its cells.
 // Does not recursively traverse through those tables to check for further tables.
 //
 // Returns true if at least one child cell contains a table.
 // Returns false if no cells in the table contains a table.
 private static int getChildTableCount(final Table table) {
     int childTableCount = 0;

     for (Row row : table.getRows()) {
         for (Cell cell : row.getCells()) {
             TableCollection childTables = cell.getTables();

             if (childTables.getCount() > 0) childTableCount++;
         }
     }

     return childTableCount;
 }
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
ancestorTypejava.lang.ClassThe object type of the ancestor to retrieve.

Returns: CompositeNode - The ancestor of the specified type or null if no ancestor of this type was found.

getCustomNodeId()

public int getCustomNodeId()

Specifies custom node identifier.

Remarks:

Default is zero.

This identifier can be set and used arbitrarily. For example, as a key to get external data.

Important note, specified value is not saved to an output file and exists only during the node lifetime.

Examples:

Shows how to traverse through a composite node’s collection of child nodes.


 Document doc = new Document();

 // Add two runs and one shape as child nodes to the first paragraph of this document.
 Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 0, true);
 paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world! "));

 Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.RECTANGLE);
 shape.setWidth(200.0);
 shape.setHeight(200.0);
 // Note that the 'CustomNodeId' is not saved to an output file and exists only during the node lifetime.
 shape.setCustomNodeId(100);
 shape.setWrapType(WrapType.INLINE);
 paragraph.appendChild(shape);

 paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello again!"));

 // Iterate through the paragraph's collection of immediate children,
 // and print any runs or shapes that we find within.
 NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false);

 Assert.assertEquals(3, paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false).getCount());

 // we can attach it as a child only if both nodes have the same owner document.
 // The owner document is the document we passed to the node's constructor.
 // We have not attached this paragraph to the document, so the document does not contain its text.
 Assert.assertEquals(para.getDocument(), doc);
 Assert.assertEquals("", doc.getText().trim());

 // Since the document owns this paragraph, we can apply one of its styles to the paragraph's contents.
 para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");

 // Add this node to the document, and then verify its contents.

setParentIdInternal(int value)

public void setParentIdInternal(int value)

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
valueint

toString()

public String toString()

toString(SaveOptions saveOptions)

public String toString(SaveOptions saveOptions)

Exports the content of the node into a string using the specified save options.

Examples:

Exports the content of a node to String in HTML format.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");

 Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph();

 // When we call the ToString method using the html SaveFormat overload,
 // it converts the node's contents to their raw html representation.
 Assert.assertEquals(" " +
         "Hello World!" +
         "", node.toString(SaveFormat.HTML));

 // We can also modify the result of this conversion using a SaveOptions object.
 HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
 saveOptions.setExportRelativeFontSize(true);

 Assert.assertEquals(" " +
         "Hello World!" +
         "", node.toString(saveOptions));
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
saveOptionsSaveOptionsSpecifies the options that control how the node is saved.

Returns: java.lang.String - The content of the node in the specified format.

toString(int saveFormat)

public String toString(int saveFormat)

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
saveFormatint

Returns: java.lang.String
