• 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.

  Example:

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

• 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 that when you create any node, it requires a document that will own the node.

  // 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));

• getDropDownItems

  public DropDownItemCollection getDropDownItems()
  

  Provides access to the items of a dropdown form field.

  Microsoft Word allows maximum 25 items in a dropdown form field.

• getFont

  public Font getFont()
  

  Provides access to the font formatting of this object.

  Example:

  Creates a simple document from scratch using the Aspose.Words object model.

  // Create an "empty" document. Note that like in Microsoft Word, 
  // the empty document has one section, body and one paragraph in it
  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // This truly makes the document empty. No sections (not possible in Microsoft Word)
  doc.removeAllChildren();
  
  // Create a new section node
  // Note that the section has not yet been added to the document, 
  // but we have to specify the parent document
  Section section = new Section(doc);
  
  // Append the section to the document
  doc.appendChild(section);
  
  // Lets set some properties for the section
  section.getPageSetup().setSectionStart(SectionStart.NEW_PAGE);
  section.getPageSetup().setPaperSize(PaperSize.LETTER);
  
  // The section that we created is empty, lets populate it. The section needs at least the Body node
  Body body = new Body(doc);
  section.appendChild(body);
  
  // The body needs to have at least one paragraph
  // Note that the paragraph has not yet been added to the document, 
  // but we have to specify the parent document
  // The parent document is needed so the paragraph can correctly work
  // with styles and other document-wide information
  Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
  body.appendChild(para);
  
  // We can set some formatting for the paragraph
  para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");
  para.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
  
  // So far we have one empty paragraph in the document
  // The document is valid and can be saved, but lets add some text before saving
  // Create a new run of text and add it to our paragraph
  Run run = new Run(doc);
  run.setText("Hello World!");
  run.getFont().setColor(Color.RED);
  para.appendChild(run);
  
  // As a matter of interest, you can retrieve text of the whole document and
  // see that \x000c is automatically appended. \x000c is the end of section character

• 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.

• getName/setName

  public java.lang.String getName() / public void setName(java.lang.String value)
  

  Gets or sets the form field name.

  Microsoft Word allows strings with at most 20 characters.

  Example:

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

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Form fields.docx");
  
  FormField formField = doc.getRange().getFormFields().get(3);
  
  if (formField.getType() == FieldType.FIELD_FORM_TEXT_INPUT)
      formField.setResult("My name is " + formField.getName());

• getNextSibling

  public Node getNextSibling()
  

  Gets the node immediately following this node.

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

  Example:

  Shows how to enumerate immediate child nodes of a composite node using NextSibling.

  // In this example we enumerate all paragraphs of a section body
  // Get the section that we want to work on
  Section section = doc.getSections().get(0);
  Body body = section.getBody();
  
  // Loop starting from the first child until we reach null

      // Output the types of the nodes that we come across
      System.out.println(Node.nodeTypeToString(node.getNodeType()));
  }

  Example:

  Shows how to efficiently visit all direct and indirect children of a composite node.

          }
      }
  }

• getNodeType

  public int getNodeType()
  

  Returns NodeType.FormField. The value of the property is NodeType integer constant.

  Example:

  Shows how to retrieve the NodeType enumeration of nodes.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");
  
  // Let's pick a node that we can't be quite sure of what type it is
  // In this case lets pick the first node of the first paragraph in the body of the document
  Node node = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getFirstChild();
  System.out.println("NodeType of first child: " + Node.nodeTypeToString(node.getNodeType()));
  
  // This time let's pick a node that we know the type of
  // Create a new paragraph and a table node
  Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
  Table table = new Table(doc);
  
  // Access to NodeType for typed nodes will always return their specific NodeType
  // i.e A paragraph node will always return NodeType.Paragraph, a table node will always return NodeType.Table

• 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.

  // Create a new empty document. It has one section
  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // The section is the first child node of the document
  Node section = doc.getFirstChild();
  
  // The section's parent node is the document
  System.out.println("Section parent is the document: " + (doc == section.getParentNode()));

  Example:

  Shows that when you create any node, it requires a document that will own the node.

  // 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));

  public Paragraph getParentParagraph()
  

  Retrieves the parent Paragraph of this node.

  Example:

  Shows how to process 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 is a CompositeNode and LastChild returns the last child node in the Document node
  // Since the Document can contain only Section nodes, the last child is the last section
  Node lastSection = doc.getLastChild();
  
  // Each node knows its next and previous sibling nodes
  // Previous sibling of a section is a section before the specified section
  // If the node is the first child, PreviousSibling will return null
  Node sectionBeforeLast = lastSection.getPreviousSibling();
  
  if (sectionBeforeLast != null) {
      doc.removeChild(sectionBeforeLast);
  }

• 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(getMyDir() + "Form fields.docx");
  
  FormField formField = doc.getRange().getFormFields().get(3);
  
  if (formField.getType() == FieldType.FIELD_FORM_TEXT_INPUT)
      formField.setResult("My name is " + formField.getName());

• 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);

• 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.

  Microsoft Word allows strings with at most 64 characters.

• 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 using custom specified options.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");
  
  // Extract the last paragraph in the document to convert to HTML
  Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph();
  
  // Create an instance of HtmlSaveOptions and set a few options
  HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
  saveOptions.setExportHeadersFootersMode(ExportHeadersFootersMode.PER_SECTION);
  saveOptions.setExportRelativeFontSize(true);
  
  // Convert the document to HTML and return as a String. Pass the instance of HtmlSaveOptions to
  // to use the specified options during the conversion
  String nodeAsHtml = node.toString(saveOptions);

• 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("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("Numerical Id: " + label.getLabelValue());
  
          // Combine them together to include the list label with the text in the output
          System.out.println("List label combined with text: " + label.getLabelString() + " " + paragraphText);
  
          listParaCount++;
      }
  }

  Example:

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

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // Enter a dummy field into the document
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD Field");
  
  // GetText will retrieve all field codes and special characters
  System.out.println("GetText() Result: " + doc.getText());
  
  // ToString will export the node to the specified format. When converted to text it will not retrieve fields code
  // or special characters, but will still contain some natural formatting characters such as paragraph markers etc.
  // This is the same as "viewing" the document as if it was opened in a text editor
  System.out.println("ToString() Result: " + doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));

  Example:

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

  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 SaveFormat overload then conversion is executed using default save options
  // When saving to HTML using default options the following settings are set:
  //   ExportImagesAsBase64 = true
  //   CssStyleSheetType = CssStyleSheetType.Inline
  //   ExportFontResources = false
  String nodeAsHtml = node.toString(SaveFormat.HTML);
