[eNovware.com]

Hi,

I'm curently looking for a .Net library for word .doc files generation.

So your product looks perfect for my need .... but .... just a point :

Is is possible to insert a field in a field ?

The goal is to build document that use INCLUDETEXT with customizable path ... like that :

Code: Select all

{ INCLUDETEXT "{DOCPROPERTY myPath}\\theDoc.doc" }

Thanks for help.

Hello eNovware,

Sorry for any inconveniences caused by us and thank you for your patience.

So far away,Spire.Doc don't support the function of "field in field". We tried to realise the function by MS Word, but we didn't find the field "myPath". MS Word don't have the field "myPath" too. So maybe you need to get a new method to achieve the goal.

We will enhance the function of Spire.Doc gradually. If you still have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Sorry again.

Have a nice day.

"myPath" is a CustomDoc property, that's why you haven't it in Word (we fills this property when generating our files)

In conclusion, I cannot add a field in a field using Spire.doc ... that's a bad news ...

OK, anyway, thanks for your cooperation.

In case that could help you, my application actually use Automation for inserting field in field ...

Here is the piece of code that do that :

Code: Select all

                    oDoc.Application.Selection.ClearFormatting();
                    object field_type = Word.WdFieldType.wdFieldEmpty;
                    //
// insert the first field : INCLUDETEXT
                    oDoc.Application.Selection.Fields.Add(oDoc.Application.Selection.Range, ref field_type, myData.oMissing, ref myData.oFalse);
                    oDoc.Application.Selection.TypeText( "INCLUDETEXT \"");
                    //
// insert the second field : DOCPROPERTY
                    oDoc.Application.Selection.Fields.Add(oDoc.Application.Selection.Range, ref field_type, myData.oMissing, ref myData.oFalse);
                    oDoc.Application.Selection.TypeText("DOCPROPERTY myPath");
                    //
// go out the second field
                    oDoc.Application.Selection.MoveRight(Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter, 2);
                    //
// insert end of INCLUDETEXTE data (filename)
                    oDoc.Application.Selection.TypeText( "example.doc" + "\"");
                    //
// go out the first field
                    oDoc.Application.Selection.EndKey(Word.WdUnits.wdLine);


Note : myPath is a string like "c:\documents\"
