Class FormsReader


  • public class FormsReader
    extends java.lang.Object

    This class reads the collection of all forms in an OOo document (the office:forms element).

    An OOo document may contain any number of forms; these are declared within this element. In OOo, unlike eg. html, the form declaration is separated from the presentation. This element contains the declaration. The presentation is given by inclusion of draw:control elements in the document flow. These refer to form controls by id.

    Note: A form is identified by a unique name, a control is identified by a (globally) unique id.
