• 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.

• getDocument

  public DocumentBase getDocument()
  

  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:

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

  // Open a file from disk
  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // Creating a new node of any type requires a document passed into the constructor
  Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
  
  // The new paragraph node does not yet have a parent
  System.out.println("Paragraph has no parent node: " + (para.getParentNode() == null));

• getHelpText/setHelpText

  public java.lang.String getHelpText() / public void setHelpText(java.lang.String value)
  

  Returns or sets the text that's displayed in a message box when the form field has the focus and the user presses F1.

  If the OwnHelp property is set to True, HelpText specifies the text string value. If OwnHelp is set to False, HelpText specifies the name of an AutoText entry that contains help text for the form field.

  Microsoft Word allows strings with at most 255 characters.

• 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 the parent node.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // Get the document's first paragraph and append a child node to it in the form of a run with text
  Paragraph para = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();
  
  // When inserting a new node, the document that the node will belong to must be provided as an argument
  Run run = new Run(doc, "Hello world!");
  para.appendChild(run);
  
  // The node lineage can be traced back to the document itself
  Assert.assertEquals(para, run.getParentNode());
  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.

  // Open a file from disk
  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // Creating a new node of any type requires a document passed into the constructor
  Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
  
  // The new paragraph node does not yet have a parent
  System.out.println("Paragraph has no parent node: " + (para.getParentNode() == null));
  
  // But the paragraph node knows its document
  System.out.println("Both nodes' documents are the same: " + (para.getDocument() == doc));
  
  // The fact that a node always belongs to a document allows us to access and modify 
  // properties that reference the document-wide data such as styles or lists
  para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");
  
  // Now add the paragraph to the main text of the first section
  doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(para);
  
  // The paragraph node is now a child of the Body node
  System.out.println("Paragraph has a parent node: " + (para.getParentNode() != null));

• getParentParagraph

  public Paragraph getParentParagraph()
  

  Retrieves the parent Paragraph of this node.

  Example:

  Shows how to view revision-related properties of Inline nodes.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Revision runs.docx");
  
  // This document has 6 revisions
  Assert.assertEquals(doc.getRevisions().getCount(), 6);
  
  // The parent node of a revision is the run that the revision concerns, which is an Inline node
  Run run = (Run) doc.getRevisions().get(0).getParentNode();
  
  // Get the parent paragraph
  Paragraph firstParagraph = run.getParentParagraph();
  RunCollection runs = firstParagraph.getRuns();
  
  Assert.assertEquals(runs.getCount(), 6);
  
  // The text in the run at index #2 was typed after revisions were tracked, so it will count as an insert revision
  // The font was changed, so it will also be a format revision
  Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(2).isInsertRevision());
  Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(2).isFormatRevision());
  
  // If one node was moved from one place to another while changes were tracked,
  // the node will be placed at the departure location as a "move to revision",
  // and a "move from revision" node will be left behind at the origin, in case we want to reject changes
  // Highlighting text and dragging it to another place with the mouse and cut-and-pasting (but not copy-pasting) both count as "move revisions"
  // The node with the "IsMoveToRevision" flag is the arrival of the move operation, and the node with the "IsMoveFromRevision" flag is the departure point
  Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(1).isMoveToRevision());
  Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(4).isMoveFromRevision());
  
  // If an Inline node gets deleted while changes are being tracked, it will leave behind a node with the IsDeleteRevision flag set to true until changes are accepted
  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);
  
  // Create a second section by inserting a section break and add text to both sections
  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 characters of a range.

  // Insert two sections into a blank document
  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  builder.write("Section 1. ");
  builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_CONTINUOUS);
  builder.write("Section 2.");
  
  // Verify the whole text of the document
  Assert.assertEquals("Section 1. \fSection 2.", doc.getText().trim());
  
  // Delete the first section from the document
  doc.getSections().get(0).getRange().delete();
  
  // Check the first section was deleted by looking at the text of the whole document again
  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.

  Example:

  Shows how to work with form field name, type, and result.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Use a DocumentBuilder to insert a combo box form field
  FormField comboBox = builder.insertComboBox("MyComboBox", new String[]{"One", "Two", "Three"}, 0);
  
  // Verify some of our form field's attributes
  Assert.assertEquals("MyComboBox", comboBox.getName());
  Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_FORM_DROP_DOWN, comboBox.getType());
  Assert.assertEquals("One", comboBox.getResult());

• 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 a visitor implementation.

  public void formField() throws Exception {
      Document doc = new Document();
      DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
      // Use a document builder to insert a combo box
      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());
  
      // Use a document builder to insert a check box
      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");
      checkBox.setOwnStatus(true);
      Assert.assertEquals(50.0d, checkBox.getCheckBoxSize());
      Assert.assertFalse(checkBox.getChecked());
      Assert.assertFalse(checkBox.getDefault());
  
      builder.writeln();
  
      // Use a document builder to insert text input form field
      FormField textInput = builder.insertTextInput("MyTextInput", TextFormFieldType.REGULAR, "", "Your text goes here", 50);
      textInput.setEntryMacro("EntryMacro");
      textInput.setExitMacro("ExitMacro");
      textInput.setTextInputDefault("Regular");
      textInput.setTextInputFormat("FIRST CAPITAL");

      Assert.assertEquals(TextFormFieldType.REGULAR, textInput.getTextInputType());
      Assert.assertEquals(50, textInput.getMaxLength());
  
      // Get the collection of form fields that has accumulated in our document

• 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 a 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.

  Gets the previous node according to the pre-order tree traversal algorithm.

  Parameters:

  rootNode - The top node (limit) of traversal.

  Returns:

  Previous node in pre-order order. Null if reached the rootNode.

  Example:

  Shows how to delete all images from a document using pre-order tree traversal.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.docx");
  Assert.assertEquals(doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true).getCount(), 10);
  
  Node curNode = doc;
  while (curNode != null) {
      Node nextNode = curNode.nextPreOrder(doc);
  
      if (curNode.previousPreOrder(doc) != null && nextNode != null) {
          Assert.assertEquals(curNode, nextNode.previousPreOrder(doc));
      }
  
      if (curNode.getNodeType() == NodeType.SHAPE) {
          Shape shape = (Shape) curNode;
  
          // Several shape types can have an image including image shapes and OLE objects
          if (shape.hasImage()) {
              shape.remove();
          }
      }
  
      curNode = nextNode;
  }
  
  // The only remaining shape doesn't have an image
  Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true).getCount());
  Assert.assertFalse(((Shape) doc.getChild(NodeType.SHAPE, 0, true)).hasImage());

• remove

  public void remove()

  Removes itself from the parent.

  Example:

  Shows how to delete all images from a document.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.docx");
  Assert.assertEquals(doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true).getCount(), 10);
  
  // Here we get all shapes from the document node, but you can do this for any smaller
  // node too, for example delete shapes from a single section or a paragraph
  NodeCollection shapes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true);
  
  // We cannot delete shape nodes while we enumerate through the collection
  // One solution is to add nodes that we want to delete to a temporary array and delete afterwards
  ArrayList shapesToDelete = new ArrayList();
  for (Shape shape : (Iterable<Shape>) shapes) {
      // Several shape types can have an image including image shapes and OLE objects
      if (shape.hasImage()) {
          shapesToDelete.add(shape);
      }
  }
  
  // Now we can delete shapes
  for (Shape shape : (Iterable<Shape>) shapesToDelete)
      shape.remove();
  
  // The only remaining shape doesn't have an image
  Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true).getCount());
  Assert.assertFalse(((Shape) doc.getChild(NodeType.SHAPE, 0, true)).hasImage());

  Example:

  Shows how to remove all nodes of a specific type from a composite node.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Tables.docx");
  
  Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true).getCount());
  
  // Select the first child node in the body
  Node curNode = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstChild();
  
  while (curNode != null) {
      // Save the next sibling node as a variable in case we want to move to it after deleting this node
      Node nextNode = curNode.getNextSibling();
  
      // A section body can contain Paragraph and Table nodes
      // If the node is a Table, remove it from the parent
      if (curNode.getNodeType() == NodeType.TABLE) {
          curNode.remove();
      }
  
      // Continue going through child nodes until null (no more siblings) is reached
      curNode = nextNode;
  }
  
  Assert.assertEquals(0, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true).getCount());

• removeField

  public void removeField()
                  throws java.lang.Exception

  Example:

  Shows how to delete complete form field.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Form fields.docx");
  
  FormField formField = doc.getRange().getFormFields().get(3);
  formField.removeField();

• 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");
  
  // Extract the last paragraph in the document to convert to HTML
  Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph();
  
  // When ToString is called using the html SaveFormat overload then the node is converted directly to html
  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

• 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 label of each paragraph in a list as a value or a String.

  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 actually getting when we output this node to text format
          // The list labels are not included in this text output. 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 current level of the list. If we have a list with multiple level then this
          // will tell us what position it is on that particular level
          System.out.println("\tNumerical Id: " + label.getLabelValue());
  
          // Combine them together to include the list label with the text in the output
          System.out.println("\tList label combined with text: " + label.getLabelString() + " " + paragraphText);
  
          listParaCount++;
      }
  }

  Example:

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

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");
  
  // Extract the last paragraph in the document to convert to HTML
  Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph();
  
  // When ToString is called using the html SaveFormat overload then the node is converted directly to html
  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();
  
  // Enter a field into the document
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD Field");
  
  // GetText will retrieve all field codes and special characters
  Assert.assertEquals("\u0013MERGEFIELD Field\u0014«Field»\u0015\f", doc.getText());
  
  // ToString will give us the plaintext version of the document in the save format we put into the parameter
  Assert.assertEquals("«Field»\r\n", doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
