Get the paragraph just before an image in Basic

[Guillon Benoit]

Hello,

I would like to retrieve the paragraph just before the selected image in
Writer. My goal is to insert a frame after this paragraph, and anchor
the image to this frame, (exactly what appends when a caption is added
to an image)

My code is:

oSelectedObject = ThisComponent.getCurrentSelection()
    ' if the selected object is an image
    if
oSelectedObject.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextGraphicObject") Then

*        *' there is already a frame around the image
        if
oSelectedObject.getAnchor.Text.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextFrame")
then
             ' do something
         else
             ' no frame, I have to create a new frame just before the
image and anchor the image to it
             oViewCursor =
ThisComponent.getCurrentController().getViewCursor()
             oViewCursor.goUp(1, False)

             => it raises a RuntimeException , with the message "no text
selection"

When I create a new TextCursor, like this:

oCursor = oSelectedObject.getAnchor().Text.createTextCursor()

The cursor is positioned at the document's start and I don't know how I
can move this cursor to the paragraph before the selected image.

Does somebody have an idea ?

Thanks

Benoit.

did you try a createTextCursorByRange(oSelectedObject.getAnchor()) ?
or something approaching

Yes ! Thank you Laurent, the new cursor is located just after the image.
Thus, I can use "gotoPreviousParagraph" to go to the paragraph just
before the image.

Thanks again

Benoit.
