I was just wondering: createCursor() creates a cursor containing the
whole sheet, which could be slow when you have a big sheet.
Maybe this is a way to create the cursor with better performance.
Just an idea, Steffen

Nice tip... I will change this in my document...
I have no idea why this is written as it is, but many of the snippets
were created years ago with OOo 1.x, so, the issue may be that the
author of that particular macro (probably me) was not properly
efficient, or, that OOo did not support the methodology. In this case, I
suspect the first.

At page 142 in the macro manual by A. Pitonyak, there is a section
about how to do it, here's a function that returns the last column of
the used area:
Function getLastUsedColumn(oSheet as Object) as Integer
Dim oCell As Object
Dim oCursor As Object
Dim aAddress As Variant
oCell = oSheet.GetCellbyPosition( 0, 0 )
oCursor = oSheet.createCursorByRange(oCell)
oCursor.GotoEndOfUsedArea(True)
aAddress = oCursor.RangeAddress
GetLastUsedColumn = aAddress.EndColumn
End Function
I am wondering about the oCell thing. Why is that necessary? I tried
the following and it seems to work:
Function getLastUsedColumn(oSheet as Object) as Integer
Dim oCursor As Object
Dim aAddress As Variant
oCursor = oSheet.createCursor
oCursor.GotoEndOfUsedArea(True)
aAddress = oCursor.RangeAddress
GetLastUsedColumn = aAddress.EndColumn
End Function
Or even shorter, and still works and just as easy to follow (in my
opinion):
Function getLastUsedColumn(oSheet as Object) as Integer
Dim oCursor As Object
oCursor = oSheet.createCursor
oCursor.GotoEndOfUsedArea(True)
GetLastUsedColumn = oCursor.RangeAddress.EndColumn
End Function
