Merge with regions and Bookmarks

[lachlanaldred]

Hello,
I’m trying to perform a merge-with-regions and there are some bookmarks inside my region. I want to copy the bookmarks as well. The reason I want to copy the bookmarks is that I need to use some application logic to delete selected instance of these internal bookmarks.
The problem is that everything between my <> and <> mergefields gets copied except for the nested bookmarks.
Is there a way to copy bookmarks (with new names), or is there a better approach.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. You can rename bookmarks during MailMerge using MergeField event handler. For example see the following code.

public void Test060()
{
    //Create DataSourse
    DataTable table = new DataTable("myTable");
    table.Columns.Add("Field1");
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        DataRow row = table.NewRow();
        row[0] = "kjsdf;jshd;fkjs";
        table.Rows.Add(row);
    }
    //Open document
    Document doc = new Document(@"Test060\in.doc");
    //Add MergeField event handler
    doc.MailMerge.MergeField += new MergeFieldEventHandler(MailMerge_MergeField_060);
    doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(table);
    doc.Save(@"Test060\out.doc");
}
//Index of bookmark
int bookmarkIndex = 0;
void MailMerge_MergeField_060(object sender, MergeFieldEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.FieldName == "field1")
    {
        //Get parent node of mergefiled
        CompositeNode node = e.Field.Start.ParentParagraph;
        while (node != null)
        {
            //Get bookmarkstart collection 
            NodeCollection starts = node.GetChildNodes(NodeType.BookmarkStart, true);
            if (starts.Count > 0)
            {
                //Rename bookamrks
                foreach (BookmarkStart start in starts)
                {
                    start.Bookmark.Name = start.Bookmark.Name + bookmarkIndex.ToString();
                    bookmarkIndex++;
                }
            }
            if (node.NextSibling.IsComposite)
            {
                node = (CompositeNode)node.NextSibling;
            }
            else
            {
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

I hope this could help you. Also you can remove content from region using MergeFiled event handler.
Best regards.
