Stephan, I tried running this code, but got a "com.sun.star.lang.ServiceNotRegisteredException". I can't find any references to com.sun.star.textfield.URL online. Is that the correct path?
Thanks, Ann === The shades of confusion start to lift ;-) "HyperLinkURL" is a optional CharacterProperty which isn't avalable at the text of a shape. What the "insert-Hyperlink" does is inserting a textfield ... something like ---------------- Object o = xFactory.createInstance("com.sun.star.textfield.URL"); XTextContent xTC = (XTextContent) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextContent.class, o); XPropertySet xPS = (XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, o); xPS.setPropertyValue("URL","http://www.openoffice.org"); xText.insertTextContent(xTextCursor, xTC, false); ---------------- should do the trick. Hope that helps Regards Stephan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
