rewriting of sdt's with docx4j

[Lars]

Hello,

I've got some documents with content controls in it (sdtBlock).

With this method I was able to read it after casting it to a sdtBlock:
...getMainDocument.getJaxBElement.getBody.getEG...get(x)...

First, Is there a better possibility without casting of the element?

Also, i need to rewrite the content of the sdtBlock with docx4j (not adding a new one) but I found no way to do this. Is there a possibility?

kind regards

Unfortunately not; there are different objects for block level, inline, table row, and table cell sdts. (Microsoft's OpenXML SDK is similar in this respect)

Also, i need to rewrite the content of the sdtBlock with docx4j (not adding a new one) but I found no way to do this. Is there a possibility?

Sure, SdtBlock has

Code: Select all

public SdtContentBlock getSdtContent()

and SdtContentBlock has

Code: Select all

public List<Object> getEGContentBlockContent()

which contains all the content.

Ok.

Due to I got problems with the replacement of the sdtContent I just toke the sdtBlock and used the marshal and unmarshal methods of XMLUtils to rewrite the content.

kind regards
