BuildingBlockType (Aspose.Words for Java API Reference)

java.lang.Object
- com.aspose.words.BuildingBlockType

public class BuildingBlockType
extends java.lang.Object

Specifies a building block type. The type might affect the visibility and behavior of the building block in Microsoft Word.

Remarks:

Corresponds to the ST_DocPartType type in OOXML.

Examples:

Shows how to add a custom building block to a document.

 
 public void createAndInsert() throws Exception {
     // A document's glossary document stores building blocks.
     Document doc = new Document();
     GlossaryDocument glossaryDoc = new GlossaryDocument();

     // Before we can add this building block to our document, we will need to give it some contents,
     // which we will do using a document visitor. This visitor will also set a category, gallery, and behavior.
     BuildingBlockVisitor visitor = new BuildingBlockVisitor(glossaryDoc);
     // Visit start/end of the BuildingBlock.

     Assert.assertEquals(customBlock.getFirstSection(), customBlock.getLastSection());
     // Now, we can insert it into the document as a new section.
