SelectContentControlsByTitle

[EmbacherChristoph]

Hello,

to get the content of a MS Word formfield by it’s name I can use the following code:

WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordApp.Documents.Open("sample.docx")
sContent = WordApp.ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("myName").Item(1).Range.Text

Is there an equivalent of the SelectContentControlsByTitle-method in Spire.doc? I haven’t found it.

Thank you.

Dear Christoph,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Here is sample code for your reference.

Code: Select all

            Document doc = new Document(@"F:\testing\doc form\original document\9418UserForm.doc");
            foreach (Section sec in doc.Sections)
            {
                foreach (FormField field in sec.Body.FormFields)
                {
                    if (field.Name == "email")
                    {
                      string text = field.Text;
                    }
                }
            }

Dear Betsy,

many thanks! I tried your code but it seems, that none of the formfields in the Doc (textbox, combobox, checkbox) will be found. Attached you will find my sample file. It would be nice if you could help me to find the error.

Best regards

Dear Christoph,

Thanks for your information.
Please reference following code.

Code: Select all

            Document doc = new Document(@"F:\testing\doc form\original document\9418Sample.docx");
            foreach (Section section in doc.Sections)
            {
                foreach (Body body in section.ChildObjects)
                {
                    foreach (DocumentObject bodyObj in body.ChildObjects)
                    {
                        if (bodyObj is StructureDocumentTag)
                        {
                            IStructureDocument sdt = bodyObj as IStructureDocument;
                            //get the text in textbox
                            if (sdt.SDTProperties.Tag == "TextBox")
                            {
                                foreach (DocumentObject SObj in sdt.ChildObjects)
                                {
                                    if (SObj is Paragraph)
                                    {
                                        Paragraph par = SObj as Paragraph;
                                        string text = par.Text;
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                            //get all value in combobox
                            if (sdt.SDTProperties.Tag == "Combobox")
                            {
                                SdtComboBox cb = sdt.SDTProperties.ControlProperties as SdtComboBox;
                                foreach (SdtListItem item in cb.ListItems)
                                {
                                    string value = item.Value;
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            //I found in the last paragraph, you first insert text "Checkbox" and then insert content control.
            foreach (DocumentObject Pobj in doc.LastParagraph.ChildObjects)
            {
                if (Pobj is TextRange)
                {
 
                }
                if (Pobj is StructureDocumentTagInline)
                {

                }
            }
        }
