How to properly clear text in Visual Studio editor window? - vsix

I'm developing an extension, and basically need to replace text in current window. I can call ReplacePattern like this
EnvDTE80.DTE2 app = GetActiveIDE();
TextDocument txt = app.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument") as TextDocument;
EditPoint ep = txt.CreateEditPoint(txt.StartPoint);
txt.ReplacePattern(".*", string.Empty, (int)vsFindOptions.vsFindOptionsRegularExpression);
ep.Insert("blah");
and it works. The only problem with it is that when user tries to undo the replacement, the text is coming back line-by-line, not as a single big chunk - so I think there should be a better way...

Duh.. This:
EditPoint ep = txt.CreateEditPoint(txt.StartPoint);
ep.Delete(txt.EndPoint);

How to properly close Word documents after Documents.Open

I have the following code for a C# console app. It parses a Word document for textboxes and inserts the same text into the document at the textbox anchor point with markup. This is so I can convert to Markdown using pandoc, including textbox content which is not available due to https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/3086. I can then replace my custom markup with markdown after conversion.
The console app is called in a PowerShell loop for all documents in a target list.
When I first run the Powershell script, all documents are opened and saved (with a new name) without error. But the next time I run it, I get an occasional popup error:
The last time you opened '' it caused a serious error. Do you still want to open it?
I can get through this by selecting yes on every popup, but this requires intervention and is tedious and slow. I want to know why this code results in this problem?
string path = args[0];
Console.WriteLine($"Parsing {path}");
Application word = new Application();
Document doc = word.Documents.Open(path);
try
{
foreach (Shape shp in doc.Shapes)
{
if (shp.TextFrame.HasText != 0)
{
string text = shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text;
int page = shp.Anchor.Information[WdInformation.wdActiveEndPageNumber];
string summary = Regex.Replace(text, #"\r\n?|\n", " ");
Console.WriteLine($"++++textbox++++ Page {page}: {summary.Substring(0, Math.Min(summary.Length, 40))}");
string newtext = #$"{Environment.NewLine}TEXTBOX START%%%{text}%%%TEXTBOX END{Environment.NewLine}";
var range = shp.Anchor;
range.InsertBefore(Environment.NewLine);
range.Collapse();
range.Text = newtext;
range.set_Style(WdBuiltinStyle.wdStyleNormal);
}
}
string newFile = Path.GetFullPath(path) + ".notb.docx";
doc.SaveAs2(newFile);
}
finally
{
doc.Close();
word.Quit();
}
The console app is called in a PowerShell loop for all documents in a target list.
You can automate Word from your PowerShell script directly without involving any other dependencies. At least that will allow you to keep a single Word instance without creating each time a new Word Application instance for each document:
Application word = new Application();
Document doc = word.Documents.Open(path);
In the loop you could just open documents for processing and then closing them. It should improve the overall performance of your solution.
When you are done processing a document you need to close it by using the Close method which closes the specified document.
Also when a new Word Application instance is created, don't forget to close it as well by calling the Quit method which quits Microsoft Word and optionally saves or routes the open documents.
Application.Quit SaveChanges:=wdSaveChanges, OriginalFormat:=wdWordDocument

Unable to get visible texteditor in other viewcolumn

I'm trying to open the active file in a new viewcolumn, and fold a tag. The folding commands work fine in activeTextEditor:
// Fold based on linenumber
let range = editor.document.lineAt(lineNumber).range;
editor.selection = new vscode.Selection(range.start, range.end);
editor.revealRange(range);
commands.executeCommand('editor.fold');
Now I would like to do the same in a newly opened file:
// Open the same file in a new column
// at this time editor.ViewColum is One
commands.executeCommand('vscode.open', Uri.file(editor.document.fileName), ViewColumn.Two);
// Try to get that editor
let newEditor = vscode.window.visibleTextEditors.find(x=> x.viewColumn===viewColumn.Two && x.document.fileName===fileName)
The problem is that newEditor is not found, becouse the newly opened document has ViewColumn undefined.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks
The vs commands returns a promise. Needed to await that and everything works fine.

Get Word's window handle to use with WPF windows

I have a number of WPF dialogs in my Word Add-In. For one of them (and only one, strangely), it is sometimes not focused when opened. I believe I need to set its parent.
I know there is a way to set the owner of a WPF window to a HWND, but is there any way to get a HWND in Word 2010? I found this HWND property but it is Word 2013 and later only. Is there any other way to get Word's HWND, other than using GetForegroundWindow() which does not guarantee the handle for the window I actually want (or any other similar kludge)?
I found something helpful in Get specific window handle using Office interop. But all those answers are based on getting the handle for a window you're newly creating. I modified it somewhat to get an existing window, and stuffed it into a utility method.
doc is the current document.
using System.Windows.Interop;
using System.Diagnostics;
public void SetOwner(System.Windows.Window pd)
{
var wordProcs = Process.GetProcessesByName("winword").ToList();
// in read-only mode, this would be e.g. "1.docx [Read-Only] - Microsoft Word"
var procs = wordProcs.Where(x =>
x.MainWindowTitle.StartsWith(Path.GetFileName(doc.FullName))
&&
x.MainWindowTitle.EndsWith("- Microsoft Word"));
if (procs.Count() >= 1)
{
// would prefer Word 2013's Window.HWND property for this
var handle = procs.First().MainWindowHandle;
WindowInteropHelper wih = new WindowInteropHelper(pd);
wih.Owner = handle;
}
}
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible to account for multiple windows with the same document name (in different folders), because the number of processes is never greater than 1. But I think that's an acceptable limitation.

How to find Window by variable title using TestStack.White framework?

I am using TestStack.White framework to automate opening new document in MS Word 2013.
I am opening Microsoft Word application with:
Application application = Application.Launch("winword.exe");
After that, I am trying to get the window by partial title:
Window window = application.GetWindow("Word", InitializeOption.NoCache);
But it throws an exception saying that there is no such window.
Window title is: Document1 - Word
The question is: How to get a window by partial title taking into consideration that the title is changing every time: "Document2 - Word", "Document3 - Word", etc.
Also tried *Word but looks like this func does not support wildcards
If I invoke:
List windows = application.GetWindows();
after launching an application, windows list is empty.
Thanks in advance,
Ostap
You can use EnumWindows to find all the open windows.
Within that callback you'll get a window handle which you can then us with GetWindowTextLength and GetWindowText
This will let you decide what window handle is to the window you want. From there you can use GetWindowThreadProcessId to retrieve the process ID for the word document.
And finally with that you can create a TestStack White application using the Application.Start()
It looks like opening window takes some noticeable time. GUI testing frameworks often have functions like Wait() to make sure the window is already created/visible/enabled. I'm not an expert in Teststack.White. Probably this document may help: http://teststackwhite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/AdvancedTopics/Waiting/
public static Window GetWindowBySubstring(this Application app, string titleSubString)
{
return app.GetWindows().FirstOrDefault(w => w.Title.Contains(titleSubString));
}

sendkeys() enters text and clears it in an auto-complete search field

I am not able to get webdriver working on entering some text into an auto-complete based search text-field.
I am using the following code:
//here elmt is a WebElement variable.
elmt = driver.findElement(By.id(testDataMap.get("globalSearchTextLocator")));
elmt.sendKeys(patientName);
//Here I am finding the search result list once webdriver enters the characters.
elmt = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(testDataMap
.get("searchPatientNameLocator")));
searchedPatientsList = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(testDataMap
.get("searchPatientNameLocator")));
I also tried using elmt.click() before elmt.sendKeys(). It worked for a few random times I ran the test. But mostly, it fails.
What happens is webdriver enters the text into the search-field and clears it the next moment. This leads to no search result and fails the test. I am not able to trace the problem behind this weird behaviour. Any help? Thanks in advance!
I have face similar type of problem, but it is for numberic field. Try using this below code and execute ur script.
String accOffNoID = OR.getProperty("AccOffNo_ID");
WebElement accOffNoInput = driver.findElement(By.id(accOffNoID));
accOffNoInput.clear();
accOffNoInput.sendKeys(String.valueOf(9874651230L));
accOffNoInput = driver.findElement(By.id(accOffNoID));
Change the names according to your script and execute, it should work.
