public class FieldToc 
extends Field

Implements the TOC field. Builds a table of contents (which can also be a table of figures) using the entries specified by TC fields, their heading levels, and specified styles, and inserts that table at this place in the document.

Example:

Shows how to populate a TOC field with entries using SEQ fields.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert a TOC field that creates a table of contents entry for each paragraph
// that contains a SEQ field with a sequence identifier of "MySequence" with the number of the page which contains that field
FieldToc fieldToc = (FieldToc) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_TOC, true);
fieldToc.setTableOfFiguresLabel("MySequence");

// This identifier is for a parallel SEQ sequence,
// the number that it is at will be displayed in front of the page number of the paragraph with the other sequence,
// separated by a sequence separator character also defined below
fieldToc.setPrefixedSequenceIdentifier("PrefixSequence");
fieldToc.setSequenceSeparator(">");

Assert.assertEquals(" TOC  \\c MySequence \\s PrefixSequence \\d >", fieldToc.getFieldCode());

builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);

// Insert a SEQ field to increment the sequence counter of "PrefixSequence" to 1
// Since this paragraph doesn't contain a SEQ field of the "MySequence" sequence,
// this will not appear as an entry in the TOC
FieldSeq fieldSeq = (FieldSeq) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_SEQUENCE, true);
fieldSeq.setSequenceIdentifier("PrefixSequence");
builder.insertParagraph();

Assert.assertEquals(" SEQ  PrefixSequence", fieldSeq.getFieldCode());

// Insert two SEQ fields, one for each of the sequences we defined above
// The "MySequence" SEQ appears on page 2 and the "PrefixSequence" is at number 1 in this paragraph,
// which means that our TOC will display this as an entry with the contents on the left and "1>2" on the right
builder.write("First TOC entry, MySequence #");
fieldSeq = (FieldSeq) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_SEQUENCE, true);
fieldSeq.setSequenceIdentifier("MySequence");

doc.updateFields();
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Field.TOC.SEQ.docx");

Method Detail

getFieldCode

→ inherited from Field
public java.lang.String getFieldCode()
Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator). Both field code and field result of child fields are included.

Example:

Shows how to insert a field into a document by FieldCode.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert a simple Date field into the document
// When we insert a field through the DocumentBuilder class we can get the
// special Field object which contains information about the field
Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");

// Update this particular field in the document so we can get the FieldResult
dateField.update();

// Display some information from this field
// The field result is where the last evaluated value is stored. This is what is displayed in the document
// When field codes are not showing
Assert.assertEquals(LocalDate.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("M/d/YYYY")), dateField.getResult());

// Display the field code which defines the behavior of the field. This can been seen in Microsoft Word by pressing ALT+F9
Assert.assertEquals("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT", dateField.getFieldCode());

// The field type defines what type of field in the Document this is. In this case the type is "FieldDate" 
Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, dateField.getType());

// Finally let's completely remove the field from the document. This can easily be done by invoking the Remove method on the object
dateField.remove();

Example:

Shows how to get text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).
// Open a document which contains a MERGEFIELD inside an IF field
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested fields.docx");

// Get the outer IF field and print its full field code
FieldIf fieldIf = (FieldIf) doc.getRange().getFields().get(0);
System.out.println("Full field code including child fields:\n\t{fieldIf.GetFieldCode()}");

// All inner nested fields are printed by default
Assert.assertEquals(fieldIf.getFieldCode(), fieldIf.getFieldCode(true));

// Print the field code again but this time without the inner MERGEFIELD
System.out.println("Field code with nested fields omitted:\n\t{fieldIf.GetFieldCode(false)}");

getFieldCode

→ inherited from Field
public java.lang.String getFieldCode(boolean includeChildFieldCodes)
Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).
Parameters:
includeChildFieldCodes - True if child field codes should be included.

Example:

Shows how to get text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).
// Open a document which contains a MERGEFIELD inside an IF field
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested fields.docx");

// Get the outer IF field and print its full field code
FieldIf fieldIf = (FieldIf) doc.getRange().getFields().get(0);
System.out.println("Full field code including child fields:\n\t{fieldIf.GetFieldCode()}");

// All inner nested fields are printed by default
Assert.assertEquals(fieldIf.getFieldCode(), fieldIf.getFieldCode(true));

// Print the field code again but this time without the inner MERGEFIELD

unlink

→ inherited from Field
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 specific field.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Linked fields.docx");
doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).unlink();

update

→ inherited from Field
public void update()
           throws java.lang.Exception
Performs the field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.

Example:

Shows how to insert a field into a document by FieldCode.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert a simple Date field into the document
// When we insert a field through the DocumentBuilder class we can get the
// special Field object which contains information about the field
Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");

// Update this particular field in the document so we can get the FieldResult

// Display some information from this field
// The field result is where the last evaluated value is stored. This is what is displayed in the document
// When field codes are not showing
Assert.assertEquals(LocalDate.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("M/d/YYYY")), dateField.getResult());

// Display the field code which defines the behavior of the field. This can been seen in Microsoft Word by pressing ALT+F9

// The field type defines what type of field in the Document this is. In this case the type is "FieldDate" 
Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, dateField.getType());

// Finally let's completely remove the field from the document. This can easily be done by invoking the Remove method on the object
dateField.remove();

update

→ inherited from Field
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.

Example:

Shows a way to update a field ignoring the MERGEFORMAT switch.
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
{
    loadOptions.setPreserveIncludePictureField(true);
}
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Field sample - INCLUDEPICTURE.docx", loadOptions);

for (Field field : doc.getRange().getFields()) {
    if (((field.getType()) == (FieldType.FIELD_INCLUDE_PICTURE))) {
        FieldIncludePicture includePicture = (FieldIncludePicture) field;
        includePicture.setSourceFullName(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");
        includePicture.update(true);

        doc.updateFields();
        doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Field.UpdateFieldIgnoringMergeFormat.docx");

updatePageNumbers

public boolean updatePageNumbers()
                         throws java.lang.Exception
Updates the page numbers for items in this table of contents.
Returns:
True if the operation is successful. If any of the related TOC bookmarks was removed, false will be returned.

Example:

Shows how to insert a TOC and populate it with entries based on heading styles.
public void fieldToc() throws Exception {
    Document doc = new Document();
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

    // The table of contents we will insert will accept entries that are only within the scope of this bookmark

    FieldToc field = (FieldToc) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_TOC, true);

    // Limit possible TOC entries to only those within the bookmark we name here
    field.setBookmarkName("MyBookmark");

    // Normally paragraphs with a "Heading n" style will be the only ones that will be added to a TOC as entries
    // We can set this attribute to include other styles, such as "Quote" and "Intense Quote" in this case
    field.setCustomStyles("Quote; 6; Intense Quote; 7");

    // Styles are normally separated by a comma (",") but we can use this property to set a custom delimiter
    doc.getFieldOptions().setCustomTocStyleSeparator(";");

    // Filter out any headings that are outside this range
    field.setHeadingLevelRange("1-3");

    // Headings in this range won't display their page number in their TOC entry
    field.setPageNumberOmittingLevelRange("2-5");

    insertNewPageWithHeading(builder, "Third entry", "Quote");
    insertNewPageWithHeading(builder, "Fourth entry", "Intense Quote");

    // These two headings will have the page numbers omitted because they are within the "2-5" range
    insertNewPageWithHeading(builder, "Fifth entry", "Heading 2");
    insertNewPageWithHeading(builder, "Sixth entry", "Heading 3");

    // This entry will be omitted because "Heading 4" is outside of the "1-3" range we set earlier
    insertNewPageWithHeading(builder, "Seventh entry", "Heading 4");

    builder.endBookmark("MyBookmark");
    builder.writeln("Paragraph text.");

    // This entry will be omitted because it is outside the bookmark specified by the TOC
    insertNewPageWithHeading(builder, "Eighth entry", "Heading 1");
