public class FieldEnd 
extends FieldChar

Represents an end of a Word field in a document.

FieldEnd is an inline-level node and represented by the ControlChar.FIELD_END_CHAR control character in the document.

FieldEnd can only be a child of Paragraph.

A complete field in a Microsoft Word document is a complex structure consisting of a field start character, field code, field separator character, field result and field end character. Some fields only have field start, field code and field end.

To easily insert a new field into a document, use the DocumentBuilder.insertField(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) method.

Property Getters/Setters Detail

getNodeType

public int getNodeType()
Returns NodeType.FIELD_END. The value of the property is NodeType integer constant.

hasSeparator

public boolean hasSeparator()
Returns true if this field has a separator.

getFieldType

→ inherited from FieldChar
public int getFieldType()
Returns the type of the field. The value of the property is FieldType integer constant.

getParentParagraph

→ inherited from Inline
public Paragraph getParentParagraph()
Retrieves the parent Paragraph of this node.

getFont

→ inherited from Inline
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 pararagraph 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 \u000c is automatically appended. \u000c is the end of section character.
Assert.assertEquals("Hello World!\u000c", doc.getText());

// Save the document.
doc.save(getMyDir() + "Section.CreateFromScratch Out.doc");

isInsertRevision

→ inherited from Inline
public boolean isInsertRevision()
Returns true if this object was inserted in Microsoft Word while change tracking was enabled.

isDeleteRevision

→ inherited from Inline
public boolean isDeleteRevision()
Returns true if this object was deleted in Microsoft Word while change tracking was enabled.

getParentNode

→ inherited from Node
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.
Assert.assertEquals(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.
Assert.assertNull(para.getParentNode());

// But the paragraph node knows its document.
Assert.assertEquals(doc, para.getDocument());

// 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 paragaph to the main text of the first section.
doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(para);

// The paragraph node is now a child of the Body node.
Assert.assertNotNull(para.getParentNode());

getDocument

→ inherited from Node
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 yed 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.
Assert.assertNull(para.getParentNode());

// But the paragraph node knows its document.
Assert.assertEquals(doc, para.getDocument());

// 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 paragaph to the main text of the first section.
doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(para);

// The paragraph node is now a child of the Body node.
Assert.assertNotNull(para.getParentNode());

getPreviousSibling

→ inherited from Node
public Node getPreviousSibling()
Gets the node immediately preceding this node.

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

Note: Calculating the value of this property iterates from the first child node of ParenNode to this node.

Example:

Demonstrates 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);

getNextSibling

→ inherited from Node
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.
for (Node node = body.getFirstChild(); node != null; node = node.getNextSibling())
{
    // Output the types of the nodes that we come across.
    System.out.println(node.getNodeType());
}

Example:

Shows how to efficiently visit all direct and indirect children of a composite node.
public void recurseAllNodes() throws Exception
{
    // Open a document.
    Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Node.RecurseAllNodes.doc");

    // Invoke the recursive function that will walk the tree.
    traverseAllNodes(doc);
}

/// <summary>
/// A simple function that will walk through all children of a specified node recursively
/// and print the type of each node to the screen.
/// </summary>
private void traverseAllNodes(CompositeNode parentNode)
{
    // This is the most efficient way to loop through immediate children of a node.
    for (Node childNode = parentNode.getFirstChild(); childNode != null; childNode = childNode.getNextSibling())
    {
        // Do some useful work.
        System.out.println(childNode.getNodeType());

        // Recurse into the node if it is a composite node.
        if (childNode.isComposite())
            traverseAllNodes((CompositeNode)childNode);
    }
}

isComposite

→ inherited from Node
public boolean isComposite()
Returns true if this node can contain other nodes. This method returns false as Node cannot have child nodes.

Example:

Shows how to efficiently visit all direct and indirect children of a composite node.
public void recurseAllNodes() throws Exception
{
    // Open a document.
    Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Node.RecurseAllNodes.doc");

    // Invoke the recursive function that will walk the tree.
    traverseAllNodes(doc);
}

/// <summary>
/// A simple function that will walk through all children of a specified node recursively
/// and print the type of each node to the screen.
/// </summary>
private void traverseAllNodes(CompositeNode parentNode)
{
    // This is the most efficient way to loop through immediate children of a node.
    for (Node childNode = parentNode.getFirstChild(); childNode != null; childNode = childNode.getNextSibling())
    {
        // Do some useful work.
        System.out.println(childNode.getNodeType());

        // Recurse into the node if it is a composite node.
        if (childNode.isComposite())
            traverseAllNodes((CompositeNode)childNode);
    }
}

deepClone

→ inherited from Inline
public Node deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)
              throws java.lang.Exception
Creates a duplicate of the node.

This method serves as a copy constructor for nodes. The cloned node has no parent, but belongs to the same document as the original node.

This method always performs a deep copy of the node. The isCloneChildren parameter specifies whether to perform copy all child nodes as well.

Parameters:
isCloneChildren - True to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself.
Returns:
The cloned node.

getAncestor

→ inherited from Node
public Node getAncestor(java.lang.Class ancestorType)
Gets the first ancestor of the specified object type.

The ancestor type matches if it is equal to ancestorType or derived from ancestorType.

Parameters:
ancestorType - The object type of the ancestor to retrieve.
Returns:
The ancestor of the specified type or null if no ancestor of this type was found.

getAncestor

→ inherited from Node
public Node getAncestor(int ancestorType)
Gets the first ancestor of the specified NodeType.
Parameters:
ancestorType - A NodeType value. The node type of the ancestor to retrieve.
Returns:
The ancestor of the specified type or null if no ancestor of this type was found.

remove

→ inherited from Node
public void remove()
           throws java.lang.Exception
Removes itself from the parent.

Example:

Shows how to remove all nodes of a specific type from a composite node. In this example we remove tables from a section body.
// Get the section that we want to work on.
Section section = doc.getSections().get(0);
Body body = section.getBody();

// Select the first child node in the body.
Node curNode = body.getFirstChild();

while (curNode != null)
{
    // Save the pointer to the next sibling node because if the current
    // node is removed from the parent in the next step, we will have
    // no way of finding the next node to continue the loop.
    Node nextNode = curNode.getNextSibling();

    // A section body can contain Paragraph and Table nodes.
    // If the node is a Table, remove it from the parent.
    if (curNode.getNodeType() == NodeType.TABLE)
        curNode.remove();

    // Continue going through child nodes until null (no more siblings) is reached.
    curNode = nextNode;
}

nextPreOrder

→ inherited from Node
public Node nextPreOrder(Node rootNode)
Gets next node according to the pre-order tree traversal algorithm.
Parameters:
rootNode - The top node (limit) of traversal.
Returns:
Next node in pre-order order. Null if reached the rootNode.

Example:

Shows how to delete all images from a document using pre-order tree traversal.
Node curNode = doc;
while (curNode != null)
{
    Node nextNode = curNode.nextPreOrder(doc);

    if (curNode.getNodeType() == NodeType.SHAPE)
    {
        Shape shape = (Shape)curNode;

        // Several shape types can have an image including image shapes and OLE objects.
        if (shape.canHaveImage())
            shape.remove();
    }

    curNode = nextNode;
}

previousPreOrder

→ inherited from Node
public Node previousPreOrder(Node rootNode)
Gets the previous node according to the pre-order tree traversal algorithm.
Parameters:
rootNode - The top node (limit) of traversal.
Returns:
Previous node in pre-order order. Null if reached the rootNode.

toTxt

→ inherited from Node
public java.lang.String toTxt()
            throws java.lang.Exception
Exports the content of the node into a string in plain text format.

This method removes field codes and Microsoft Word control characters, uses CrLf (or any other) combination of characters to mark ends of paragraphs in the resulting string. It produces a different result from getText() which just gets the text from the node without removing field codes or special characters.

Returns:
The content of the node in plain text format.
