Description Devfra 2014-02-10 19:39:25 UTC
Problem description: Previously, one could iterate through all of the single cells in a SheetCellRanges object by using the getCells() method and then creating an enumeration with createEnumeration(). This is particularly useful when using something like "queryContentCells" on a SheetCellRange to find cells filled with some content, or perhaps using the com.sun.star.util.XSearchable inteface and a SearchDescriptor to find cells matching some criteria, and then iterate through each cell.

A workaround is instead to access each contained SheetCellRange within the SheetCellRanges (using getByIndex), and then iterate through each cell of each contained SheetCellRange (using getCellByPosition).

Steps to reproduce:
- Fill a com.sun.star.sheet.SheetCellRanges object with some cell ranges (manually or with some search function like queryContentCells or findAll)
- call the getCells method (oSheetCellRanges.getCells()) and inspect the returned container

Routines to reproduce the problem:

Sub GetCellsBugExample()
	
	Dim oCalcDoc as Object
	Dim oSheet as Object
	Dim oSheetCellRanges as Object
	
	' Create a spreadsheet document
	oCalcDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL( "private:factory/scalc", "_default", 0, array() )
	
	' Generate some searchable data
	oSheet = oCalcDoc.Sheets(0)
	oSheet.getCellRangeByName("C10").setString("Something")
	oSheet.getCellRangeByName("C1:E2").setDataArray( Array( Array("A","B","C"), Array("X","Y","Something") ) )
	oSheet.getCellRangeByName("A1:A4").setDataArray( Array( Array("Hello"), Array("World"), Array("How are"), Array("You?") ) )
	
	REM USING queryContentCells
		oSheetCellRanges = oSheet.queryContentCells( com.sun.star.sheet.CellFlags.STRING )
		' Select the cells in the document
		oCalcDoc.CurrentController.select( oSheetCellRanges )
		' Test the SheetCellRanges object
		TestSheetCellRanges( oSheetCellRanges )
		oSheetCellRanges = Nothing
	
	REM USING Search Descriptor
	Dim oSearch as Object
		oSearch = oSheet.createSearchDescriptor()
		With oSearch
			.SearchRegularExpression = FALSE
			.searchString = "Something"
			.SearchType = 1
			.SearchBackwards = FALSE
			.SearchWords = TRUE
			.SearchCaseSensitive = TRUE
		End With
		oSheetCellRanges = oSheet.FindAll( oSearch )
		' Select the cells in the document
		oCalcDoc.CurrentController.select( oSheetCellRanges )
		' Test the SheetCellRanges object
		TestSheetCellRanges( oSheetCellRanges )
		oSheetCellRanges = Nothing
	
	REM Manually using createInstance
	Dim oRangeAddress as New com.sun.star.table.CellRangeAddress
		oSheetCellRanges = oCalcDoc.createInstance("com.sun.star.sheet.SheetCellRanges")
		With oRangeAddress
			.Sheet = 0
			.StartColumn = 0
			.StartRow = 0
			.EndColumn = 0
			.EndRow = 3
		End With
		oSheetCellRanges.addRangeAddress( oRangeAddress, FALSE )
		With oRangeAddress
			.Sheet = 0
			.StartColumn = 4
			.StartRow = 0
			.EndColumn = 4
			.EndRow = 0
		End With
		oSheetCellRanges.addRangeAddress( oRangeAddress, FALSE )
		' Select the cells in the document
		oCalcDoc.CurrentController.select( oSheetCellRanges )
		' Test the SheetCellRanges object
		TestSheetCellRanges( oSheetCellRanges )
		oSheetCellRanges = Nothing
		
	' Close the spreadsheet
	oCalcDoc.close(TRUE)
End Sub

Sub TestSheetCellRanges( ByRef oSheetCellRanges as Object )
	On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
	
	Dim oRange as Object
	Dim oCells as Object
	
	Dim eCells as Object
	Dim oCell as Object
	Dim lRange as Long

	sMsg = ""
	
	' Make sure the object supports the SheetCellRanges Service
	If NOT oSheetCellRanges.supportsService("com.sun.star.sheet.SheetCellRanges") Then
		Exit Sub
	End If
	' Make sure the object exporst the XSheetCellRanges Interfaces
	If NOT hasUnoInterfaces(oSheetCellRanges,"com.sun.star.sheet.XSheetCellRanges") Then
		Exit Sub
	End If
	
	' Check to see if the SheetCellRanges is empty
	sMsg = sMsg & Chr(10) & "oSheetCellRanges.getCount() = " & oSheetCellRanges.getCount()

				Next lRow
			Next lCol
		Next lRange
	End If
	
	MsgBox sMsg
	
	Exit Sub
	ErrorHandler:
		MsgBox "Error " & err & ": " & error$ + chr(13) + "In line : " + Erl + chr(13) + Now
End Sub


Current behavior:
The returned container from getCells() is either empty or contains only some of the cells within the SheetCellRanges

Expected behavior:
The returned container from getCells() should return every com.sun.star.sheet.SheetCell object that is contained by the com.sun.star.sheet.SheetCellRanges object.
