How to change the font? - openoffice-impress

I want to change the font and set its style to bold.
I have two problems:
changing CharWeight works but not CharFontName
it applies "bold" to the whole paragraph, not only to the selection
Here's my code:
sub AddAnimation
xTextCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Selection(0)
xText = xTextCursor.getText()
xText.CharFontName = "Consolas"
xText.CharWeight = com.sun.star.awt.FontWeight.BOLD
end Sub

Calling getText() gets the entire text, not just the selected part.
Sub ChangeFont
xTextCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Selection(0)
xTextCursor.CharFontName = "Consolas"
xTextCursor.CharWeight = com.sun.star.awt.FontWeight.BOLD
End Sub
The font name changed when I tried it, using both LO and AOO.
Are you using CTL or CJK scripts? If so, then it needs to be CharFontNameComplex or CharFontNameAsian. However if CharWeight worked, then that must not be the issue.
One more guess: Maybe a style is overriding it.

Why won't the ForeColor of this label visibly change when altered in a loop?

I am making a form that has groups of controls that I want to visibly enable/disable with a related toggle button (let's call them Group Toggles). Each group has a different variety of control types, so I made a common procedure to handle the toggling:
'constants for control ForeColors
Public Enum LabelForeColor
Default = 8355711
Off = 14277081
End Enum
Public Enum ListForeColor
Default = 4210752
Off = 12566463
End Enum
Public Sub EnableControl(Ctrl As Control, Enabled As Boolean)
With Ctrl
Select Case Ctrl.ControlType
Case acLabel
If Enabled Then .ForeColor = LabelForeColor.Default Else .ForeColor = LabelForeColor.Off
Debug.Print "LABEL", .ForeColor
Case acListBox
If Enabled Then .ForeColor = ListForeColor.Default Else .ForeColor = ListForeColor.Off
.Enabled = Enabled
Debug.Print "LIST", .ForeColor
Case acCommandButton
.Enabled = Enabled
Debug.Print "BUTTON", "NA"
Case acCheckBox
.Enabled = Enabled
Debug.Print "CHECK", "NA"
Case Else
Debug.Print "Control [" & .Name & "] is not of a type that EnableControl can handle."
End Select
End With
End Sub
Each group of controls is represented by a collection. When the form is loaded, every control with a particular tag property is added to the corresponding collection. The Group Toggles are not added to any collection and instead have event procedures that look like this:
Private Sub ToggleGroup1_AfterUpdate()
Dim State As Boolean
'a public function that converts the toggle button's value to a boolean
State = FormCommon.ToggleButtonState(ToggleGroup1.Value)
Dim iCtrl As Control
For Each iCtrl In Controls_ByPlant
FormCommon.EnableControl iCtrl, State
Next iCtrl
End Sub
When I click on a GroupToggle, all of the controls in the corresponding group visibly change appropriately, except for the labels. After an hour of troubleshooting, here's what I know:
The ForeColor property of the label does change, but not visibly.
When I call EnableControl on a label outside of a loop, the label visibly changes.
It doesn't matter if I pass the label object specifically to the subroutine or if I pass it from its group collection; the change is visible in both cases
If I toggle-disabled a label as part of the Group Toggle event and then call EnableControl specifically on that label to try to disable it again, there is no visible change (probably because the ForeColor property is already set to the "off" color)
Turning screen updating off with Application.Echo while the Group Toggle event runs and then turning it back on at the end of the event does not make a difference.
Making the Group Toggle event run with a For i = 1 to .Count instead of a For Each does not make a difference.
This problem also occurs when changing a different visual property instead, such as ForeTint.
(Per comments) Repaint does not make a difference
(Per comments) DoEvents does not make a difference
Why is this happening?
(First ever question, so apologies if I messed something up in the post)
This was interesting, but somewhat anticlimactic.
Your code does work for the labels, but what happens is this:
All labels are associated with input controls (as it is usual)
When you deactivate a group, you disable the input controls (.Enabled = Enabled)
This automatically sets the associated labels to a (system defined) light gray text color which cannot be changed.
This "disabled label" color is very similar to your LabelForeColor.Default color, so it is hard to see the change when toggling. But it does change.
Change your color constants to make the effect more visible:
Public Enum LabelForeColor
Default = vbRed ' 8355711
' the "Off" color is never visible, unless you add an un-associated label to a group
Off = vbBlue ' 14277081
End Enum
Edit: your test code FormCommon.EnableControl iCtrl, False works, because it only affects the label, but doesn't disable its associated list box.

Get text in a div that doesn't have a name or id

I would like to get the text inside this code:
<div class="js-text-container"></div>
when there is an ID, i use getelementbyId, no problem, but in this case no ID and even nothing inside the 2 >< (although something is displayed)
I found an interesting solution here and tried to adapt it to my case:
Dim divs = WebBrowser1.Document.Body.GetElementsByTagName("div")
For Each d As HtmlElement In divs
If d.GetAttribute("class") = "js-text-container" Then
TextBox1.Text = d.InnerText
End If
Next
But nothing appears in my textbox. Do someone have an idea? I think its because InnerText refers to nothing in this case...
I hope I was clear enough.
Thanks a lot
Instead of d.GetAttribute("class") = "js-text-container"
use
d.GetAttribute("className") = "js-text-container"
I tested it locally, I believe you can use it in VB.Net
foreach (HtmlElement el in webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("div"))
if (el.GetAttribute("className") == "js-text-container")
{
textBox1.Text = el.InnerText;
}
Hope it helps!

VBA code that changes background color of form conditionally by answer

I want to use VBA (or some other solution) to conditionally change the background color of a form based off what number users enter in a numeric field. Basically, after they enter their answer to the Starter question, if they entered 1 then I want the form background to change to a specific shade of blue, and if they entered 2 then I want the form background to change to a specific shade of green. I saw a code that looks like it would be very similar to my need in another question on here, but I couldn't figure out how to make the code work, and was having trouble figuring out exactly how/where to put each module.
Some information:
The field I want it to be based off of is numeric, called Starter, and through data validation users are limited to entering 1, 2, 9, or leaving it blank. I only want the color to change if it's entered as 1 or 2.
I'm using Access 2010
the form has neither header nor footer
the code I was attempting to use and made some alterations to is the following:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
blue_yes = "15325906"
green_no = "13888226"
Dim colorThis As String
booWhatever = Me.Starter ''Use of the variable can prevent problems
If booWhatever = 1 Then
colorThis = "blue_yes"
End If
If booWhatever = 2 Then
colorThis = "green_no"
End If
subFrm.Form.Section(acDetail).BackColor = colorThis
subFrm.Form.Repaint
End Sub
I've also managed, off a very different piece of code, to sort of do what I want, but the way it's working it seems to change the status of all forms, not just the one I'm currently working with, which is the goal. So for example if I enter 2 to starter, it changes the background color of every single record's form.
Private Sub Starter_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Starter = "1" Then Me.Detail.BackColor = vbBlue
If Me.Starter = "2" Then Me.Detail.BackColor = vbGreen
End Sub
EDIT:
Welp, embarrassingly I found the solution. It's not a very neat one, but it works.
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim Presence As String
Presence = Nz(Me.Starter.Value, 9)
Select Case Presence
Case "1"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 15325906
Case "2"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 13888226
Case Else
Me.Detail.BackColor = vbWhite
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub Starter_AfterUpdate()
Dim Presence As String
Presence = Nz(Me.Starter.Value, 9)
Select Case Presence
Case "1"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 15325906
Case "2"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 13888226
Case Else
Me.Detail.BackColor = vbWhite
End Select
End Sub
I know it is a really old question (probably you have already solved it in a better way) but I will give it a try anyways.
Try the following:
Private Sub Text0_Change()
Select Case Me.Text0.Text
Case ""
Case "1"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 15325906
Case "2"
Me.Detail.BackColor = 13888226
Case Else
Me.Detail.BackColor = vbWhite
End Select
End Sub
EDIT:
I tried that and it works I think now as it supposed to do.
When you change the text on the text box triggers this event every time, runs the Sub, checks it's own text and changes the color of the form as described.
The change is that I changed the property of the field it checks. From Value to Text. We want when the event triggers to check the current text because the Value property updates when you "finish" with the textbox (after you press enter or the focus on the control is lost) and we want the change to happen the same moment we press the key changing the value and not later.
The second change and the reason we got strange patterns before is that I have added one more Case when the text is "" to do nothing on that change (empty case). Without that case when we used delete or backspace to remove the text and left the textbox empty ("") then the case else was True and it changed the background color.
I hope this is the correct answer now. Please let me know!

How to perform font changes to a report using an option box

I am having issues trying to use an option box to change a font on a series of controls. Basically, I have a report (named Q_tblProject52Week) embedded in a form. I have embedded an option box within the form (called "cornice33) which aims to change the font on the two controls (testo107 and testo108) embedded in the report.
At the moment I am trying the following with no success:
If Cornice33 = 1 Then
testo107.FontName = "calibri"
testo108.FontName = "times"
ElseIf Cornice33 = 2 Then
testo107.FontName = "times"
testo108.FontName = "calibri"
End If
I am getting a missing object message (it is not recognising the controls testo107 and testo108). Also important to note, the report is embedded in a folder control.
You need to tell access that you refer to a control on the report which is a child of your form.
If Cornice33 = 1 Then
Me.Q_tblProject52Week.testo107.FontName = "calibri"
Me.Q_tblProject52Week.testo108.FontName = "times"
ElseIf Cornice33 = 2 Then
Me.Q_tblProject52Week.testo107.FontName = "times"
Me.Q_tblProject52Week.testo108.FontName = "calibri"
End If
hope this helps

VBS: Can I target a field by its tabIndex, and its div position?

Novice here, using VBS to help with data entry to a web input form. Would appreciate any advice. I regularly use lines like this to set the value of a field based on its name:
IE.Document.All.Item("field1").Value = "test"
However I have a set of very awkward fields whose names change with each record. Their physical positions stay the same (visually); their tabIndexes stay the same (1,2,3,4), so I wondered if it's possible to do something like this:
IE.Document.All.getElementByTabIndex(1).Value = "test"
...But I'm not sure it is? Furthermore, even if that did work, tabIndex1 is used for another field on the same webpage. The fields that I am interested in, however, are all located on a div. The ID of the div is "form_div". So I'm trying to target a field located on div "form_div" whose tabIndex is 1... do you think it is possible?
Big thanks in advance.
So you have a DIV element with tabIndex set to 1 and you don't know it Name or ID, right? Then do something like this:
Set oDivs = IE.Document.getElementsByTagName("div")
Set myDiv = Nothing
For Each od In oDivs
If od.tabIndex = "1" Then
Set myDiv = od
Exit For
End If
Next
If Not myDiv Is Nothing Then
'do what needs here...
MsgBox myDiv.Name
End If
P.S. Well, I see 2 drawbacks in your design.
The tabIndex should be unique.
Searching for element by name is not so perfect in IE. If your
element has only Name and not ID then getElementsByName will
fail. Better use ID, it's even simplify coding:
Set myDiv = IE.Document.All.form_div
To find it by Name w'd be:
Set oDivs = IE.Document.getElementsByTagName("div")
Set myDiv = Nothing
For Each od In oDivs
If od.Name = "form_div" Then
Set myDiv = od
Exit For
End If
Next
And once you have the element...
If Not myDiv Is Nothing Then
Set nodes = myDiv.childNodes
For i = 0 To nodes.Length-1 Step 2
If nodes(i).tabIndex = "1" Then
'do what need here...
nodes(i).Value = nodes(i).tabIndex
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
