Adding paragraphs to XWPFTableCell
Hi all,
How would I add a paragraph to a XWPFTableCell? While XWPFTableCell contains
an addParagraph method, that method expects an already instantiated
paragraph object to be passed to it and there doesn't seem to be a simple
way to create stand-alone XWPFParagraph objects that I can attach to the
body or table after creation.
Is there some simple way to add paragraphs to XWPFTableCell like you can add
paragraphs to a document using XWPFDocument.createParagraph?
Regards,
Immad
PS: I am using the 3.7 beta release of POI.

Thanks for this, I saw the patch just a few seconds ago and reckon that quite
a few people will be happy when this one is added to the api. It is
impossible to say when, but one of the development team will review the
patch and add it to the api; it may take a few days but someone will pick it
up I am sure. They may suggest changes to keep the code in line with the
projects standards but above all, I am confident they will be happy that
someone else has joined the project.
Thanks again for the contribution.

I should have been more proactive -- thanks for the gentle nudge.

Thanks for that. This is most liekely the sort of question that will arise
again in the future. By the way (and this a very unsubtle hint for which I
apologise), POI is a public, collaborative project and, if you wanted to do
so (another hint), you could always download the source, modify it to
include an addParagraph() or newParagraph() method and then submit this as a
patch.

Re: Adding paragraphs to XWPFTableCell

A quick follow up. It would probably be better to write:
cell.addParagraph(new XWPFParagraph(cell.getCTTc().addNewP(), cell));
This way the newly created paragraph gets reflected in the cell's paragraph
array.

Re: Adding paragraphs to XWPFTableCell
Posted by Immad Naseer <im...@gmail.com>.
Thanks Mark -- that helped a lot.
I tried adding the new paragraph to a XWPFTableCell using its addParagraph
method but that didn't work; it just appended the paragraph to its paragraph
array but didn't add anything to the underlying CTTc object..
I looked at the source code some more and here is how I was able to do it:
XWPFParagraph newPara = new XWPFParagraph(cell.getCTTc().addNewP(), cell);
newPara.createRun().setText("Some text");
It sure will be nice to have a createParagraph() method on a XWPFTableCell
in a future release of POI.

Immad

Re: Adding paragraphs to XWPFTableCell
Posted by MSB <ma...@tiscali.co.uk>.
Try this
XWPFParagraph para = new XWPFParagraph(
org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTP.Factory.newInstance());
That compiles and seems to run perfectly well. Of course, you will then need
to add runs to the paragraph in order to add any text to it but this shoulod
get you started.

Re: Adding paragraphs to XWPFTableCell

Late last night,m it ocurred to me that I think I know how to do this - in
fact I think that I already have using the Factory method of the CTP class
to create an instance that is then used to initialise an XWPFParagraph
object - but I need to test some code out before posting again.
Will post again once I have had the chance to lay around a bit.
