Class FieldArgumentBuilder

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.aspose.words.FieldArgumentBuilder
public class FieldArgumentBuilder 
extends java.lang.Object

Builds a complex field argument consisting of fields, nodes, and plain text.

Example:

Shows how to insert fields using a field builder.
Document doc = new Document();

// Use a field builder to add a SYMBOL field which displays the "F with hook" symbol
FieldBuilder builder = new FieldBuilder(FieldType.FIELD_SYMBOL);
builder.addArgument(402);
builder.addSwitch("\\f", "Arial");
builder.addSwitch("\\s", 25);
builder.addSwitch("\\u");
Field field = builder.buildAndInsert(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph());

Assert.assertEquals(field.getFieldCode(), " SYMBOL 402 \\f Arial \\s 25 \\u ");

// Use a field builder to create a formula field that will be used by another field builder
FieldBuilder innerFormulaBuilder = new FieldBuilder(FieldType.FIELD_FORMULA);
innerFormulaBuilder.addArgument(100);
innerFormulaBuilder.addArgument("+");
innerFormulaBuilder.addArgument(74);

// Add a field builder as an argument to another field builder
// The result of our formula field will be used as an ANSI value representing the "enclosed R" symbol,
// to be displayed by this SYMBOL field
builder = new FieldBuilder(FieldType.FIELD_SYMBOL);
builder.addArgument(innerFormulaBuilder);
field = builder.buildAndInsert(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendParagraph(""));

Assert.assertEquals(field.getFieldCode(), " SYMBOL \u0013 = 100 + 74 \u0014\u0015 ");

// Now we will use our builder to construct a more complex field with nested fields
// For our IF field, we will first create two formula fields to serve as expressions
// Their results will be tested for equality to decide what value an IF field displays
FieldBuilder leftExpression = new FieldBuilder(FieldType.FIELD_FORMULA);
leftExpression.addArgument(2);
leftExpression.addArgument("+");
leftExpression.addArgument(3);

FieldBuilder rightExpression = new FieldBuilder(FieldType.FIELD_FORMULA);
rightExpression.addArgument(2.5);
rightExpression.addArgument("*");
rightExpression.addArgument(5.2);

// Next, we will create two field arguments using field argument builders
// These will serve as the two possible outputs of our IF field and they will also use our two expressions
FieldArgumentBuilder trueOutput = new FieldArgumentBuilder();
trueOutput.addText("True, both expressions amount to ");
trueOutput.addField(leftExpression);

FieldArgumentBuilder falseOutput = new FieldArgumentBuilder();
falseOutput.addNode(new Run(doc, "False, "));
falseOutput.addField(leftExpression);
falseOutput.addNode(new Run(doc, " does not equal "));
falseOutput.addField(rightExpression);

// Finally, we will use a field builder to create an IF field which takes two field builders as expressions,
// and two field argument builders as the two potential outputs
builder = new FieldBuilder(FieldType.FIELD_IF);
builder.addArgument(leftExpression);
builder.addArgument("=");
builder.addArgument(rightExpression);
builder.addArgument(trueOutput);
builder.addArgument(falseOutput);

builder.buildAndInsert(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendParagraph(""));

doc.updateFields();
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Field.SYMBOL.docx");
