Hyperlinks removal

[Leonardo Cavan Suryana]

Hi,

Currently I'm trying to open a template word document using DocIO which contains a bunch of hyperlinks that maps to the database. Now the problem I'm having is actually replacing those hyperlinks with actual data. I've manage to use checks all over my code to get all of the hyperlinks and then remove them after retrieving the values and placing a new WTextRange with the text set to the value.

My question is:
1) Is there an easier way to retrieve all of the hyperlinks that are available in a document?
2) What is the proper way of removing a hyperlink from a text? Do i have to remove the WField type (which contains the FieldType.FieldHyperlink type) and all of the text between that and a WFieldMark with type FieldEnd?

Thanks
Leo

Hi Leo,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

1) Way to retrieve Hyperlinks?

Please refer the below code to retrieve the hyperlinks in the document:
foreach (Entity ent in document.ChildEntities)
{
if (ent is WSection)
{
WSection section = ent as WSection;
foreach (WParagraph paragraph in section.Body.Paragraphs)
{
for (int i = 0; i < paragraph.Items.Count; i++)
{
if (paragraph.Items[i] is WField && (paragraph.Items[i] as WField).FieldType == FieldType.FieldHyperlink)
{
Hyperlink hlink = new Hyperlink(paragraph.Items[i] as WField);
}
}
}
}
}

2) Proper way to removing a hyperlinks?
Yes, for removing the hyperlink have to remove those mentioned fields since Hyperlink consists of WField, then goes WFieldMark ( field separator ), then WTextRange ( one or several ) and then WFieldmark ( field end)

Please refer the below code snippet to remove the hyperlinks:

foreach (Entity ent in document.ChildEntities)
            {
                if (ent is WSection)
                {
                    WSection section = ent as WSection;
                    foreach (WParagraph paragraph in section.Body.Paragraphs)
                    {                     
                        for (int i = 0; i < paragraph.Items.Count; i++)
                        {
                            if (paragraph.Items[i] is WField && (paragraph.Items[i] as WField).FieldType == FieldType.FieldHyperlink)
                            {
                                while (!(paragraph.Items[i] is WFieldMark &&
                                  (paragraph.Items[i] as WFieldMark).Type == FieldMarkType.FieldEnd))
                                    paragraph.Items.RemoveAt(i);

                                // Remove field end
                                paragraph.Items.RemoveAt(i);
                                break;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
