• getCalculateOnExit/setCalculateOnExit

  public boolean getCalculateOnExit() / public void setCalculateOnExit(boolean value)
  

  True if references to the specified form field are automatically updated whenever the field is exited.

  Setting CalculateOnExit only affects the behavior of the form field when the document is opened in Microsoft Word. Aspose.Words never updates references to the form field.

  Gets the document to which this node belongs.

  The node always belongs to a document even if it has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree.

  Example:

• getParentNode

  public CompositeNode getParentNode()
  

  Gets the immediate parent of this node.

  If a node has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree, the parent is null.

  Example:

  Shows how to access a node's parent node.

  Document doc = new Document();
  Paragraph para = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();
  
  // Append a child Run node to the document's first paragraph.
  Run run = new Run(doc, "Hello world!");

  Assert.assertEquals(doc.getFirstSection().getBody(), para.getParentNode());
  Assert.assertEquals(doc.getFirstSection(), doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParentNode());
  Assert.assertEquals(doc, doc.getFirstSection().getParentNode());

  Example:

  Shows how to create a node and set its owning document.

  Document doc = new Document();
  Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
  para.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
  
  // We have not yet appended this paragraph as a child to any composite node.
  Assert.assertNull(para.getParentNode());
  
  // If a node is an appropriate child node type of another composite node,
  // 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.

  doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(para);
  
  Assert.assertEquals(doc.getFirstSection().getBody(), para.getParentNode());
  Assert.assertEquals("Hello world!", doc.getText().trim());

• getParentParagraph

  public Paragraph getParentParagraph()
  

  Retrieves the parent Paragraph of this node.

  Example:

  Shows how to determine the revision type of an inline node.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Revision runs.docx");
  
  // When we edit the document while the "Track Changes" option, found in via Review -> Tracking,
  // is turned on in Microsoft Word, the changes we apply count as revisions.
  // When editing a document using Aspose.Words, we can begin tracking revisions by
  // invoking the document's "StartTrackRevisions" method and stop tracking by using the "StopTrackRevisions" method.
  // We can either accept revisions to assimilate them into the document
  // or reject them to change the proposed change effectively.
  Assert.assertEquals(6, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
  
  // The parent node of a revision is the run that the revision concerns. A Run is an Inline node.
  Run run = (Run) doc.getRevisions().get(0).getParentNode();
  
  Paragraph firstParagraph = run.getParentParagraph();
  RunCollection runs = firstParagraph.getRuns();
  
  Assert.assertEquals(runs.getCount(), 6);
  
  // Below are five types of revisions that can flag an Inline node.
  // 1 -  An "insert" revision:
  // This revision occurs when we insert text while tracking changes.
  Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(2).isInsertRevision());
  
  // 2 -  A "format" revision:
  // This revision occurs when we change the formatting of text while tracking changes.
  Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(2).isFormatRevision());
  
  // 3 -  A "move from" revision:
  // When we highlight text in Microsoft Word, and then drag it to a different place in the document
  // while tracking changes, two revisions appear.
  // The "move from" revision is a copy of the text originally before we moved it.
  Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(4).isMoveFromRevision());
  
  // 4 -  A "move to" revision:
  // The "move to" revision is the text that we moved in its new position in the document.
  // "Move from" and "move to" revisions appear in pairs for every move revision we carry out.
  // Accepting a move revision deletes the "move from" revision and its text,
  // and keeps the text from the "move to" revision.
  // Rejecting a move revision conversely keeps the "move from" revision and deletes the "move to" revision.
  Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(1).isMoveToRevision());
  
  // 5 -  A "delete" revision:
  // This revision occurs when we delete text while tracking changes. When we delete text like this,
  // it will stay in the document as a revision until we either accept the revision,
  // which will delete the text for good, or reject the revision, which will keep the text we deleted where it was.
  Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(5).isDeleteRevision());

• getPreviousSibling

  public Node getPreviousSibling()
  

  Gets the node immediately preceding this node.

  If there is no preceding node, a null is returned.

  Example:

  Shows how to use of methods of Node and CompositeNode to remove a section before the last section in the document.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  builder.writeln("Section 1 text.");
  builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_CONTINUOUS);
  builder.writeln("Section 2 text.");
  
  // Both sections are siblings of each other.
  Section lastSection = (Section) doc.getLastChild();
  Section firstSection = (Section) lastSection.getPreviousSibling();
  
  // Remove a section based on its sibling relationship with another section.
  if (lastSection.getPreviousSibling() != null)
      doc.removeChild(firstSection);
  
  // The section we removed was the first one, leaving the document with only the second.
  Assert.assertEquals("Section 2 text.", doc.getText().trim());

• getRange

  public Range getRange()
  

  Returns a Range object that represents the portion of a document that is contained in this node.

  Example:

  Shows how to delete all the nodes from a range.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Add text to the first section in the document, and then add another section.
  builder.write("Section 1. ");
  builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_CONTINUOUS);
  builder.write("Section 2.");
  
  Assert.assertEquals("Section 1. \fSection 2.", doc.getText().trim());
  
  // Remove the first section entirely by removing all the nodes
  // within its range, including the section itself.
  doc.getSections().get(0).getRange().delete();
  
  Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getSections().getCount());
  Assert.assertEquals("Section 2.", doc.getText().trim());

• getResult/setResult

  public java.lang.String getResult() / public void setResult(java.lang.String value)
  

  Gets or sets a string that represents the result of this form field.

  For a text form field the result is the text that is in the field.

  For a checkbox form field the result can be "1" or "0" to indicate checked or unchecked.

  For a dropdown form field the result is the string selected in the dropdown.

  Setting Result for a text form field does not apply the text format specified in TextInputFormat. If you want to set a value and apply the format, use the setTextInputValue(java.lang.Object) method.

  For a text form field the TextInputDefault value is applied if value is null.

  Example:

  Shows how to insert a combo box.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  builder.write("Please select a fruit: ");
  
  // Insert a combo box which will allow a user to choose an option from a collection of strings.
  FormField comboBox = builder.insertComboBox("MyComboBox", new String[]{"Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"}, 0);
  
  Assert.assertEquals("MyComboBox", comboBox.getName());
  Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_FORM_DROP_DOWN, comboBox.getType());
  Assert.assertEquals("Apple", comboBox.getResult());
  
  // The form field will appear in the form of a "select" html tag.
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "FormFields.Create.html");

• getStatusText/setStatusText

  public java.lang.String getStatusText() / public void setStatusText(java.lang.String value)
  

  Returns or sets the text that's displayed in the status bar when a form field has the focus.

  If the OwnStatus property is set to true, the StatusText property specifies the status bar text. If the OwnStatus property is set to false, the StatusText property specifies the name of an AutoText entry that contains status bar text for the form field.

  Microsoft Word allows strings with at most 138 characters.

  Example:

  Shows how insert different kinds of form fields into a document, and process them with using a document visitor implementation.

  public void visitor() throws Exception {
      Document doc = new Document();
      DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

      FormField comboBox = builder.insertComboBox("MyComboBox", new String[]{"One", "Two", "Three"}, 0);
      comboBox.setCalculateOnExit(true);
      Assert.assertEquals(3, comboBox.getDropDownItems().getCount());
      Assert.assertEquals(0, comboBox.getDropDownSelectedIndex());
      Assert.assertTrue(comboBox.getEnabled());
  
      builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PARAGRAPH_BREAK);
  
      // Use a document builder to insert a check box.
      builder.write("Click this check box to tick/untick it: ");
      FormField checkBox = builder.insertCheckBox("MyCheckBox", false, 50);
      checkBox.isCheckBoxExactSize(true);
      checkBox.setHelpText("Right click to check this box");
      checkBox.setOwnHelp(true);
      checkBox.setStatusText("Checkbox status text");

• getTextInputDefault/setTextInputDefault

  public java.lang.String getTextInputDefault() / public void setTextInputDefault(java.lang.String value)
  

  Gets or sets the default string or a calculation expression of a text form field.

  The meaning of this property depends on the value of the TextInputType property.

  When TextInputType is TextFormFieldType.REGULAR or TextFormFieldType.NUMBER, this string specifies the default string for the text form field. This string is the content that Microsoft Word will display in the document when the form field is empty.

  When TextInputType is TextFormFieldType.CALCULATED, then this string holds the expression to be calculated. The expression needs to be a formula valid according to Microsoft Word formula field requirements. When you set a new expression using this property, Aspose.Words calculates the formula result automatically and inserts it into the form field.

  Microsoft Word allows strings with at most 255 characters.

  Example:

  Shows how insert different kinds of form fields into a document, and process them with using a document visitor implementation.

• getTextInputFormat/setTextInputFormat

  public java.lang.String getTextInputFormat() / public void setTextInputFormat(java.lang.String value)
  

  Returns or sets the text formatting for a text form field.

  If the text form field contains regular text, then valid format strings are "", "UPPERCASE", "LOWERCASE", "FIRST CAPITAL" and "TITLE CASE". The strings are case-insensitive.

  If the text form field contains a number or a date/time value, then valid format strings are number or date and time format strings.

• deepClone

  public Node deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)

  Creates a duplicate of the node.

  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.

  Parameters:

  isCloneChildren - True to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself.

  Returns:

  The cloned node.

  Example:

  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());

• toString

  public java.lang.String toString(SaveOptions saveOptions)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

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

  Parameters:

  saveOptions - Specifies the options that control how the node is saved.

  Returns:

  The content of the node in the specified format.

  Example:

  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("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%; font-size:12pt\">" +
          "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" +
          "</p>", 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("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%\">" +

• toString

  public java.lang.String toString(int saveFormat)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

  Exports the content of the node into a string in the specified format.

  Returns:

  The content of the node in the specified format.

  Parameters:

  saveFormat - A SaveFormat value.

  Example:

  Shows how to extract the list labels of all paragraphs that are list items.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");
  doc.updateListLabels();
  int listParaCount = 1;
  
  for (Paragraph paragraph : (Iterable<Paragraph>) doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true)) {
      // Find if we have the paragraph list. In our document, our list uses plain Arabic numbers,
      // which start at three and ends at six.
      if (paragraph.getListFormat().isListItem()) {
          System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("List item paragraph #{0}", listParaCount));
  
          // This is the text we get when getting when we output this node to text format.
          // This text output will omit list labels. Trim any paragraph formatting characters. 
          String paragraphText = paragraph.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT).trim();
          System.out.println("Exported Text: " + paragraphText);
  
          ListLabel label = paragraph.getListLabel();
  
          // This gets the position of the paragraph in the current level of the list. If we have a list with multiple levels,
          // this will tell us what position it is on that level.
          System.out.println("\tNumerical Id: {label.LabelValue}");
  
          // Combine them together to include the list label with the text in the output.
          System.out.println("\tList label combined with text: {label.LabelString} {paragraphText}");
      }

  Example:

  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("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%; font-size:12pt\">" +
          "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" +
          "</p>", 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("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%\">" +
          "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" +
          "</p>", node.toString(saveOptions));

  Example:

  Shows the difference between calling the GetText and ToString methods on a node.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD Field");
  
  // GetText will retrieve the visible text as well as field codes and special characters.
  Assert.assertEquals("\u0013MERGEFIELD Field\u0014«Field»\u0015\f", doc.getText());
  
  // ToString will give us the document's appearance if saved to a passed save format.
  Assert.assertEquals("«Field»\r\n", doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
