OneNote.PageContent class

Represents a region on a page that contains top-level content types such as Outline or Image. A PageContent object can be assigned an XY position.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: OneNoteApi 1.1 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

id

Gets the ID of the PageContent object. Read-only.

image

Gets the Image in the PageContent object. Throws an exception if PageContentType is not Image.

ink

Gets the ink in the PageContent object. Throws an exception if PageContentType is not Ink.

left

Gets or sets the left (X-axis) position of the PageContent object.

outline

Gets the Outline in the PageContent object. Throws an exception if PageContentType is not Outline.

parentPage

Gets the page that contains the PageContent object. Read-only.

top

Gets or sets the top (Y-axis) position of the PageContent object.

type

Gets the type of the PageContent object. Read-only.

Methods

delete()

Deletes the PageContent object.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original OneNote.PageContent object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as OneNote.Interfaces.PageContentData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

track()

Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you are using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you needed to have added the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created.

untrack()

Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You will need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.

Examples

await OneNote.run(async (context) => {

    const page = context.application.getActivePage();
    const pageContents = page.contents;

    const firstPageContent = pageContents.getItemAt(0);
    firstPageContent.load('type');

    // Run the queued commands, and return a promise to indicate task completion.
    await context.sync();
    if (firstPageContent.isNullObject === false) {
        firstPageContent.delete();
        await context.sync();
    }
});

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(options?: OneNote.Interfaces.PageContentLoadOptions): OneNote.PageContent;

Parameters

options
OneNote.Interfaces.PageContentLoadOptions

Provides options for which properties of the object to load.

Returns

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): OneNote.PageContent;

Parameters

propertyNames

string | string[]

A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.

Returns

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths?: {
            select?: string;
            expand?: string;
        }): OneNote.PageContent;

Parameters

propertyNamesAndPaths

{ select?: string; expand?: string; }

propertyNamesAndPaths.select is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.

Returns

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties: Interfaces.PageContentUpdateData, options?: OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions): void;

Parameters

properties
OneNote.Interfaces.PageContentUpdateData

A JavaScript object with properties that are structured isomorphically to the properties of the object on which the method is called.

options
OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions

Provides an option to suppress errors if the properties object tries to set any read-only properties.

Returns

void

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

set(properties: OneNote.PageContent): void;

Parameters

properties
OneNote.PageContent

Returns

void
