Java: Replace string in hidden document

Post by wanglong »

I use Java to control the execution of the following script to replace a string in the selected area. When the document is opened in hidden mode, the replacement cannot be successful, but it works fine when opened explicitly.

Code: Select all

REM  *****  BASIC  *****


sub FindReplaceStringInUpLines(n as Integer,find as String,replace as String)
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem define variables
dim document   as object
dim dispatcher as object
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem get access to the document
document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")

rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dim args1(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "Count"
args1(0).Value = n
args1(1).Name = "Select"
args1(1).Value = true

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoUp", "", 0, args1())

rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------
dim args6(4) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args6(0).Name = "SearchItem.SearchFlags"
args6(0).Value = 71680
args6(1).Name = "SearchItem.SearchString"
args6(1).Value = find
args6(2).Name = "SearchItem.ReplaceString"
args6(2).Value = replace
args6(3).Name = "SearchItem.Command"
args6(3).Value = 3
args6(4).Name = "Quiet"
args6(4).Value = false

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:ExecuteSearch", "", 0, args6())

end sub
My JAVA method,

Code: Select all

public void findReplaceStringInUpLines(XTextDocument xTextDocument,XTextViewCursor xTextViewCursor,XParagraphCursor xParagraphCursor,String find,String replace,int N){
        xTextViewCursor.gotoRange(xParagraphCursor.getEnd(), false);  
        TextDocument.executeBasicScript(xTextDocument,"Standard.Module2.FindReplaceStringInUpLines",new Object[]{N,find,replace});
}
        
public static void executeBasicScript(XTextDocument xTextDocument,String scriptPath,Object[] args) {
        XScriptProviderSupplier xScriptProviderSupplier = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XScriptProviderSupplier.class, xTextDocument);
        XScriptProvider xScriptProvider = xScriptProviderSupplier.getScriptProvider();

        try {
            XScript macro = xScriptProvider.getScript("vnd.sun.star.script:" + scriptPath + "?language=Basic&location=application");

            macro.invoke(args,new short[1][1],new Object[1][1]);
        } catch (
                ScriptFrameworkErrorException | WrappedTargetException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
}

Was: Documents opened in hidden mode do not support the execution of UNO Basic scripts, do they?

That's the way it is. Instead of dispatch calls use the API.

... just to be a bit more precise: Hidden documents do support the execution Basic scripts, but not dispatch calls

But dispatch call has different result with Basic,like what I'm discussing in viewtopic.php?t=111143.
