Methods' Details
queryVisibleCells
XSheetCellRanges
queryVisibleCells();
 
 

Description
queries all visible cells.
Returns
the visible (not hidden) cells of the current cell range(s).
queryEmptyCells
XSheetCellRanges
queryEmptyCells();
 
 

Description
queries all empty cells.
Returns
the empty cells of the current cell range(s).
queryContentCells
XSheetCellRanges
queryContentCells(
 
[in] short
 
nContentFlags );

Description
queries all cells with the specified content type(s).
Parameter nContentFlags
a combination of CellFlags flags.

Attention: Despite the CellFlags flags are long values, this method expects a short parameter.

Returns
all cells of the current cell range(s) with the specified content type(s).
queryFormulaCells
XSheetCellRanges
queryFormulaCells(
 
[in] long
 
nResultFlags );

Description
queries all formula cells with the specified result type.
Parameter nResultFlags
a combination of FormulaResult flags.
Returns
all formula cells of the current cell range(s) with the specified result type(s).
queryColumnDifferences
XSheetCellRanges
queryColumnDifferences(
 
[in] ::com::sun::star::table::CellAddress
 
aCompare );

Description
queries all cells with different values in a specified row.

This method takes each column of the current cell range(s) and compares all cells with the cell in the specified row. All cells which are different to this comparison cell will be returned.

Parameter aCompare
contains a cell address with the row index used for comparison. Only this row index is of interest.
Returns
all cells of the current cell range(s) which are different to the comparison cell of each column.
queryRowDifferences
XSheetCellRanges
queryRowDifferences(
 
[in] ::com::sun::star::table::CellAddress
 
aCompare );

Description
queries all cells with different values in a specified column.

This method takes each row of the current cell range(s) and compares all cells with the cell in the specified column. All cells which are different to this comparison cell will be returned.

Parameter aCompare
contains a cell address with the column index used for comparison. Only this column index is of interest.
Returns
all cells of the current cell range(s) which are different to the comparison cell of each row.
queryIntersection
XSheetCellRanges
queryIntersection(
 
[in] ::com::sun::star::table::CellRangeAddress
 
aRange );

Description
intersects the current cell range(s) with the specified cell range.
Parameter aRange
contains the cell range for intersection.
Returns
all cells of the current cell range(s) which are contained in the passed cell range.
