Find Content Controls by Title

Aspose.Words Product Family

Document doc = new Document(OutputFile);
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

        Node[] tags = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.StructuredDocumentTag, true).ToArray();

Looping through this array of nodes allows you to get values but it does not allow you to look up the Title of the structured document tag. There is no exposed member that lets me access the title of the document tag despite showing in the debugger. How can I search the document for the title of each structure document tag programmatically.

Word document attached. Output file doesnt exist because I am trying to find the title off the content control which is done programmatically. Console application doesnt provide a solution and is just used for testing. With the word document I have included your developers should be able to create a console application that allows me to access the title of the structured document tag node in aspose.word.

Document doc = new Document(OutputFile);
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

        Node[] tags = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.StructuredDocumentTag, true).ToArray();
        // N-ary tree. Nodes can be 0..N / 0..* 

        foreach (Node node in tags)

            // pointer to next node
            Node p1 = node.NextSibling;

            PropertyInfo nodePropertyInfo = node.GetType().GetProperty("Title");

                Console.WriteLine(nodePropertyInfo.Name + " " + node.GetText());
            }
        }

Please use StructuredDocumentTag.Title property to get the title of content control as shown below.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Bill Jacket Content Control Testing.docx");

foreach (StructuredDocumentTag sdt in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.StructuredDocumentTag, true).ToArray())
{
    Console.WriteLine("Title of content control : " + sdt.Title);
}

In your document, the title of content controls is not set. So, this property will return empty string.

That is what I am looking for thank you.
