Aspose::Words::Fields::FieldAuthor Class Reference

Implements the AUTHOR field.

Examples

Shows how to use an AUTHOR field to display a document creator's name.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);
// AUTHOR fields source their results from the built-in document property called "Author".
// If we create and save a document in Microsoft Word,
// it will have our username in that property.
// However, if we create a document programmatically using Aspose.Words,
// the "Author" property, by default, will be an empty string.
ASSERT_EQ(String::Empty, doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Author());
// Set a backup author name for AUTHOR fields to use
// if the "Author" property contains an empty string.
doc->get_FieldOptions()->set_DefaultDocumentAuthor(u"Joe Bloggs");
builder->Write(u"This document was created by ");
auto field = System::DynamicCast<FieldAuthor>(builder->InsertField(FieldType::FieldAuthor, true));
field->Update();
ASSERT_EQ(u" AUTHOR ", field->GetFieldCode());
ASSERT_EQ(u"Joe Bloggs", field->get_Result());
// Updating an AUTHOR field that contains a value
// will apply that value to the "Author" built-in property.
ASSERT_EQ(u"Joe Bloggs", doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Author());
// Changing this property, then updating the AUTHOR field will apply this value to the field.
doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->set_Author(u"John Doe");
field->Update();
ASSERT_EQ(u" AUTHOR ", field->GetFieldCode());
ASSERT_EQ(u"John Doe", field->get_Result());
// If we update an AUTHOR field after changing its "Name" property,
// then the field will display the new name and apply the new name to the built-in property.
field->set_AuthorName(u"Jane Doe");
field->Update();
ASSERT_EQ(u" AUTHOR \"Jane Doe\"", field->GetFieldCode());
ASSERT_EQ(u"Jane Doe", field->get_Result());
// AUTHOR fields do not affect the DefaultDocumentAuthor property.
ASSERT_EQ(u"Jane Doe", doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_Author());
ASSERT_EQ(u"Joe Bloggs", doc->get_FieldOptions()->get_DefaultDocumentAuthor());
doc->Save(ArtifactsDir + u"Field.AUTHOR.docx");
