public class FieldDde 
extends Field

Implements the DDE field.
For information copied from another application, this field links that information to its original source file using DDE.

Example:

Shows how to use various field types to link to other documents in the local file system, and display their contents.

      • remove

        public Node remove()
                   throws java.lang.Exception
        Removes the field from the document. Returns a node right after the field. If the field's end is the last child of its parent node, returns its parent paragraph. If the field is already removed, returns null.

      • unlink

        public boolean unlink()
                      throws java.lang.Exception
        Performs the field unlink.

        Replaces the field with its most recent result.

        Some fields, such as XE (Index Entry) fields and SEQ (Sequence) fields, cannot be unlinked.

        Returns:
        True if the field has been unlinked, otherwise false.

        Example:

        Shows how to unlink a field.
        Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Linked fields.docx");
        doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).unlink();
      • update

      • update

        public void update(boolean ignoreMergeFormat)
                   throws java.lang.Exception
        Performs a field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.
        Parameters:
        ignoreMergeFormat - If true then direct field result formatting is abandoned, regardless of the MERGEFORMAT switch, otherwise normal update is performed.
