In Writer, I would like to search for some text and when found position the view to the top of the view/window.
Using the following code,
document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
dim args1(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "SearchItem.SearchString"
args1(0).Value = ":"
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:ExecuteSearch", "", 0, args1())
the view changes and it shows the selection but it is not in any particular place. I want it to be at the top of the window/view.
I've also found elsewhere the use of ThisComponent.currentController.getViewData()
and restoreViewData()
. So I experimented and determined how to change the data returned in order to get a vertical scroll but nothing happens. For example...
vd = ThisComponent.currentController.getViewData()
vdParts = Split(vd, ";")
vdParts(6) = CLng(vdParts(6)) + 1000
vd = join(vdParts, ";")
ThisComponent.currentController.restoreViewData(vd)
Any suggestions?
PS: I am running version 5.0.5.2 on Windows 7 x64
