How to get a bookmark located in a cell ?

[Florider]

Hello,

I have a word table with a bookmark located in each cell of the first row. Each header bookmark is used to find the right columns index and then, to fill the table with the right info in each cell.

But for now, i didn't find a way to get the bookmark object located in each cell (i only get a Wparagraph, which doesn't contain a bookmark).

If i start from the bookmarks (with a bookmarkNavigator), each bookmark's content is a WParagraph (not a WTableCell).

Please, could you provide me a sample ?

If necessary, i attached my test document.

Best regards,

Flo

Hi Flo, 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

Yes, it is possible to replace the bookmark content which is inside a Table cell. The following code example illustrates how to replace a bookmark content. 

Code example: 

 WordDocument document = new WordDocument(@"testTab.docx", FormatType.Docx); 

 //Creates the bookmark navigator instance to access the bookmark 

 BookmarksNavigator bookmarkNavigator = new BookmarksNavigator(document); 

  

 //Moves the virtual cursor to the location before the end of the bookmark "Col1" 

 bookmarkNavigator.MoveToBookmark("Col1"); 

 //Replaces the bookmark content 

 bookmarkNavigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent("Column 1",true); 

 

 //Moves the virtual cursor to the location before the end of the bookmark "Col2" 

 bookmarkNavigator.MoveToBookmark("Col2"); 

 //Replaces the bookmark content 

 bookmarkNavigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent("Column 2", true); 

 

 document.Save("Sample.docx", FormatType.Docx); 

 document.Close(); 

  

To know more about replacing a bookmark content, kindly refer the following UG documentation link.

Thanks for your answer but that's not my need.

I need to get each bookmark entity from each cell of the first row.

I found a way to get the cell entity from a given bookmark name (using the bookmarknavigator). So i guess there's a relation between bookmarks and cells in your object model. But i don't understand why it's not possible to find the same bookmark object (located in the same cell), but starting from the cell object.

Hi Flo, 

Thank you for your update. 

We have prepared a sample based on your requirement i.e., iterate the table’s first row cells and accessed the bookmark in it. The sample can be downloaded from the following link.

Thank you very much for your answer.

You sample works very well with the provided document.

But i noticed a problem when i try to find the cells bookmarks into a specific table enclosed itself by another bookmark.

I changed a little part of your sample to show you the behavior with 2 different configurations (testTabOK.doc and testTabNOK.doc).

You will see a little difference on the bookmark used for the table selection :

- testTabOK.doc => the bookmark starts directly from the table

- testTabNOK.doc => the bookmark starts from a paragraph above the table 

The right wTable object is returned in both configuration but strangely the cells' bookmarks are correctly identified on testTabOK but not on testTabNOK.doc

And unfortunalely, i have hundred of word templates with the testTabNOK configuration ...

Any idea ?

Hi Flo, 

Thank you for your update. 

To retrieve the bookmark which is inside another bookmark content, GetContent method of BookmarksNavigator must be used. We have modified the sample accordingly to meet your requirement which is available in the following link.
