BASIC, Writer Table Cell Selection: Numbering/Bullets interfere with TextTableCursor

users
#1

Hello,

I'm trying to return a cell range for some cells selected in a Writer text
table. From what I've read in Andrew Pitonyak's documentation, the method
getRangeName() from a TextTableCursor seems to be the way to do it.

However oSels.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextTableCursor") returns
FALSE if the cells selected contain numbering or bullets. If I switch the
numbering off the same selected cells return TRUE & I can use
getRangeName().

Is this behaviour inconsistent (i.e a bug) or am I missing something?

I've repeated this in LO4.1, 4.4.5, 5.0, 5.0.1RC1 Linux x86_64

example document containing macro and steps to reproduce:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/0q0sdy9kdtyncky/Selected.Table.Cells.odt

here is the pertinent code from the document above:

  Dim i As Integer : Dim sTextTableCursor$
  sTextTableCursor$ = "com.sun.star.text.TextTableCursor"
  oSels = ThisComponent.getCurrentController().getSelection()
  If Not oSels.supportsService(sTextTableCursor) Then
    Msgbox "Please make a selection of cells!", MB_OK + MB_ICONSTOP
  ElseIf oSels.supportsService(sTextTableCursor) Then
  REM At least one entire cell is selected
    If validSelection(oSels.getRangeName()) Then
      tempStr = "Good, the selection is more than 1 cell!"
    Else
      tempStr = "The selection needs to be more than 1 cell!"
    End If
    Msgbox "We've got a selection in a table!" & CHR$(10) & "The selected
range is: " & oSels.getRangeName() & CHR$(10) & tempStr

  'xray oSels
  End If

Thanks. Selected.odt
