I have been looking online to get the idea how to acess a range and then "clearing" it. Sadly even though i have found several solutions, vba in libre office makes things really complicated to understand. I have tried to record a macro, and edit it... It works but not as i want it to. I need to execute the below code from a Form (Dialog) and it does what its meant to, but shows everything in the background and I can't have that .... is there a way, to do this ? for example in vba Exel I would just write :
Range("A1:DA25000").ClearContents (or .Delete)
Here is what I got with macro recordings:
Function Brisanje()
dim document as object
dim dispatcher as object
document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
dim args1(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "Nr"
args1(0).Value = 2
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:JumpToTable", "", 0, args1())
dim args2(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args2(0).Name = "ToPoint"
args2(0).Value = "$A$1:$DA$25000"
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoToCell", "", 0, args2())
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:ClearContents", "", 0, Array())
end Function
The code you are looking for is in Andrew Pitonyak's macro document, section 6.4. Clear a cell. Notice that the code works for multiple cells as well:
REM You can use a range such as "A1:B2"
Macro recordings are not a good way to learn how to write macros. They generate dispatcher code, which is different from working with the UNO API.

Hi I have searched through the internet looking for examples of creating a new onenote section and I can't find the right example for me to understand. The closest I can get to is using .OpenHierarchy function but I'm still very new to it and I couldn't get the parameters right.
I'm currently working on an OCR marco for multiple PDF file. Everything is working fine till I realise that I'm creating huge waste files on my computer.
Here's the code I used to delete all the pages created in the section
Dim oneNote As OneNote14.Application
Dim secDoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument60
Set secDoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument60
Dim secNodes As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNodeList
Set secNodes = secDoc.DocumentElement.getElementsByTagName("one:Section")
' Get the first section.
Dim secNode As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode
Set secNode = secNodes(0)
Dim sectionName As String
sectionName = secNode.Attributes.getNamedItem("name").Text
Dim sectionID As String
sectionID = secNode.Attributes.getNamedItem("ID").Text
oneNote.DeleteHierarchy (sectionID)
oneNote.OpenHierarchy
End Sub
Deletehierarchy function deletes the entire section away leaving no section behind but my OCR macro requires at least one section to work.
Thanks for reading and thank you in advance!
oneNote.OpenHierarchy in vba does not allow bracklet and thats the issue that is causing the error.
solution:
oneNote.OpenHierarchy fileName, "", "New Section 1", 3
I have a little strange question. I used to have few reports worked upon daily.
All these are in Excel and had a logo of the company in all the sheets of each file.
However, now the company name is changed and hence a new logo needs to be replaced in place of the existing. Wanted to check if this replacement can be done with VBA.
I tried with the application.shapes method. But, was confused to proceed further.
Try this....
Sub ChangePicture(strNewPath As String)
Dim oOld As Picture
Dim oNew As Picture
Set oOld = ActiveSheet.Pictures(1)
Set oNew = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(strNewPath)
oNew.Left = oOld.Left
oNew.Top = oOld.Top
oNew.Width = oOld.Width
oNew.Height = oOld.Height
oOld.Delete
End Sub
Im writing a silverlight application in vb.net and need to send an email via lotus notes. I wish to do this by opening the lotus notes client app, open a new email window and substitute all the necessary details (to, subject etc.) in the new email window. I am using the below code but it only OPENS the lotus notes application on the machine, it does not do anything past this. Its seems that everything after the initial CreateObject call is simply ignored, although it doesnt throw any errors. I have attempt to reference interops.domino.dll but being silverlight project visual studio states the dll is not compiled for the silverlight runtime. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
Dim outlook = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
Dim notesdb = outlook.GetDatabase("", "")
notesdb.OpenMail()
Dim doc = notesdb.CreateDocument()
Dim msg = "Hey whats up"
doc.ReplaceItemValue("SendTo", "person#temp.com")
doc.ReplaceItemValue("Subject", "Hello")
Dim rtitem = doc.CreateRichTextItem("Body")
rtitem.AppendText(msg)
All you do in the moment is to create a new document in the backend and fill it with values.
It is like creating a word document without opening it...
You need some more code to actually SHOW the document you created.
In addition you need to assign a Form, otherwise Notes will not know, how to display this document:
Dim session = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
Dim notesdb = outlook.GetDatabase("", "")
Dim ws = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("Notes.NotesUIWorkspace")
notesdb.OpenMail()
Dim doc = notesdb.CreateDocument()
Dim msg = "Hey whats up"
doc.ReplaceItemValue("Form", "Memo")
doc.ReplaceItemValue("SendTo", "person#temp.com")
doc.ReplaceItemValue("Subject", "Hello")
Dim rtitem = doc.CreateRichTextItem("Body")
rtitem.AppendText(msg)
ws.EditDocument( True, doc )
As I do not use silverlight I unfortunately could not test the code, but It should point into the right direction.
You can not do UI manipulations via COM in Notes, as the UI-Classes (NotesUIDocument, NotesUIWorkspace, ...) are not supported via COM.
You can only use the backend-classes likes NotesDocument, ...
This still leaves you a lot of possibilites, as you can eiter use NotesRichTextItem or MIMEEntity classes to compose e-mails.
I'm trying to read excel file which is uploaded on itemadded event. I need to update meta data column of document library by reading uploaded excel sheet. But I get following error,
Here is my code,
SPItem item = properties.ListItem;
string workbookpath = "http://server/sites/dev/Published%20documents/Test.xlsx";
ApplicationClass excel = new ApplicationClass();
excel.Visible = false;
Workbook excelWorkBook = excel.Workbooks.Open(workbookpath, 0, true, 5, "", "", false, XlPlatform.xlWindows, "", true, false, 0, true, false, false);
Sheets sheets = excelWorkBook.Worksheets;
Worksheet worksheet = (Worksheet)sheets.get_Item(1);
Range range = worksheet.get_Range("A1", "A1");
item["Status"] = (string)range.Cells.Value2;
item.Update();
base.ItemAdded(properties);
For testing purpose I've hard coded the excel file path.
Take a look at this blog post. I think it will help
http://hristopavlov.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/uploading-a-file-event-receivers-the-file-has-been-modified-by/
I think the problem that you document is in checked out state because you have open it from excel app, so you need to do following:
close excel app
Check in document back to save chages or undo check out (use item.CheckIn() or item.UndoCheckOut())
after this you should be able to update item properties
Its 5th Question and apart of one I didn't get response from the experts....
Hope this time I will get the helping hand.
I want to do mailmerge in openoffice using Vb.net and I am totally new with openoffice.
I searched on net for some help to understand how to use openoffice with vb.net but all I get is half info.....So can you please help me and give me code for mailmerge in vb.net for openoffice.
Well i have list of workers in DB and there is this facility that if they want to mail to all or some of the workers then they can do it.I have completed this task using Microsoft Office now as a Add in we are providing the facility to perform the same task using Open Office.
What they have to do is just select the List of workers and click on a button and it will automate the mailmerge using the field of those workers data from DB. The Code of mine is as shown below
Public Sub OpenOfficeMail(ByVal StrFilter As String)
Dim oSM ''Root object for accessing OpenOffice from VB
Dim oDesk, oDoc As Object ''First objects from the API
Dim arg(-1) ''Ignore it for the moment !
''Instanciate OOo : this line is mandatory with VB for OOo API
oSM = CreateObject("com.sun.star.ServiceManager")
''Create the first and most important service
oDesk = oSM.createInstance("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop")
''Create a new doc
oDoc = oDesk.loadComponentFromURL("private:factory/swriter", "_blank", 0, arg)
''Close the doc
oDoc.Close(True)
oDoc = Nothing
''Open an existing doc (pay attention to the syntax for first argument)
oDoc = oDesk.loadComponentFromURL("file:///C:\Users\Savan\Documents\1.odt", "_blank", 0, arg)
Dim t_OOo As Type
t_OOo = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("com.sun.star.ServiceManager")
Dim objServiceManager As New Object
objServiceManager = System.Activator.CreateInstance(t_OOo)
Dim oMailMerge As New Object
oMailMerge = t_OOo.InvokeMember("createInstance", Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing, _
objServiceManager, New [Object]() {"com.sun.star.text.MailMerge"}) 'com.sun.star.text.MailMerge"})
oMailMerge.DocumentURL = "file:///C:\Users\Savan\Documents\1.odt"
oMailMerge.DataSourceName = CreateSource(StrFilter)''Function that will return the datasource name which will be a text file's path
oMailMerge.CommandType = 0
oMailMerge.Command = "file:///C:\Mail.txt"
oMailMerge.OutputType = 2
oMailMerge.execute(New [Object]() {})**---->I am getting Error here**
End Sub
