Conditional text

The following example shows how to use a conditional text field that displays different text based on a condition.

C# example

using System;
using Independentsoft.Office.Odf;
using Independentsoft.Office.Odf.Fields;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument();

            SimpleVariableDeclaration varDecl = new SimpleVariableDeclaration();
            varDecl.Name = "showExtra";
            varDecl.Type = VariableValueType.Float;
            doc.SimpleVariableDeclarations.Add(varDecl);

            SimpleVariableSetField setVar = new SimpleVariableSetField();
            setVar.Name = "showExtra";
            setVar.Type = VariableValueType.Float;
            setVar.Formula = "1";

            ConditionalText condText = new ConditionalText();
            condText.Condition = "ooow:showExtra > 0";
            condText.ValueIfTrue = "Extra content is visible.";
            condText.ValueIfFalse = "Extra content is hidden.";

            Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
            p1.Add(setVar);
            p1.Add(condText);
            doc.Body.Add(p1);

            doc.Save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports Independentsoft.Office.Odf
Imports Independentsoft.Office.Odf.Fields

Module Module1
    Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
        Dim doc As TextDocument = New TextDocument

        Dim varDecl As New SimpleVariableDeclaration
        varDecl.Name = "showExtra"
        varDecl.Type = VariableValueType.Float
        doc.SimpleVariableDeclarations.Add(varDecl)

        Dim setVar As New SimpleVariableSetField
        setVar.Name = "showExtra"
        setVar.Type = VariableValueType.Float
        setVar.Formula = "1"

        Dim condText As New ConditionalText
        condText.Condition = "ooow:showExtra > 0"
        condText.ValueIfTrue = "Extra content is visible."
        condText.ValueIfFalse = "Extra content is hidden."

        Dim p1 As New Paragraph
        p1.Add(setVar)
        p1.Add(condText)
        doc.Body.Add(p1)

        doc.Save("c:\test\output.odt", True)
    End Sub
End Module
