Document (Type of variable)

In french: Document

The Document type is used to handle a "docx" document. The content of this document can be viewed and modified by several WLanguage functions and properties.

A Document variable can be initialized:

with the content of a Word Processing control.
with a ".docx" file or an ".rtf" file.
with a buffer (containing a docx or rtf).
with a Binary Memo item of a data file.
with a character string. For example:

MyDoc is Document = "a paragraph." + CR + "a second paragraph."

Remark: For more details on the declaration of this type of variable and the use of WLanguage properties, see Declaring a variable.

Example

See additional examples

// Load the document
MyDoc is Document = "c:\temp\doc.docx"
// Browse the paragraphs of the document
FOR EACH para OF MyDoc.Paragraph
FOR EACH MyElement OF para.Element
Trace(MyElement.Texte)
END
END
