Hello,

I have tested this code on Aspose.Slides for JAVA 1.9.0 and it returns the correct bullet type. Source presentation is also attached.

OUTPUT:

2

1

CODE:

try {

// Source presentation

Presentation srcPres = new Presentation(new FileInputStream(

"C:\\source\\source.ppt"));

// Source slide with a single shape which is a linked pictureframe

Slide srcSld = srcPres.getSlideByPosition(1);

//Access first textframe and prints the bullet type

Shape shp = srcSld.getShapes().get(0);

TextFrame tf = shp.getTextFrame();

Paragraph para = tf.getParagraphs().get(0);

// print bullet type

System.out.println(para.getBulletType());

//Access second textframe and prints the bullet type

shp = srcSld.getShapes().get(1);

tf = shp.getTextFrame();

para = tf.getParagraphs().get(1);

// print bullet type

System.out.println(para.getBulletType());

} catch (Exception ex) {

ex.printStackTrace();

}

Hello,

 

Actually, the shapes in your provided ppts namely dotBullet.ppt and numberBullet.ppt are textholders not textframes.

 

So this is the correct way to get the paragraph bullet type.

 

First, I check, if shape is possibly a textholder, then I access paragraphs collection from it otherwise, I access paragraphs from textframe.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

try

{

Presentation srcPres = new Presentation(new FileInputStream(

"C:/Test/numberBullet.ppt"));

 

// Source slide with a single shape which is a linked pictureframe

 

Slide srcSld = srcPres.getSlideByPosition(1);

 

// Access first textframe and prints the bullet type

 

Shape shp = srcSld.getShapes().get(1);

 

Paragraphs paras=null;

 

//check, if shape is possibly a textholder,

//then access paragraphs collection from it otherwise

//access paragraphs from textframe.

if(shp.getPlaceholder()!=null && shp.isTextHolder())

{

      //First type cast the placeholder into textholder and

      //then get access to paragraphs

      TextHolder thld=(TextHolder)shp.getPlaceholder();

      paras=thld.getParagraphs();

}//if

else

{

      TextFrame tf=shp.getTextFrame();

      paras=tf.getParagraphs();

}//else

 

Paragraph para=paras.get(0);

 

// print bullet type

 

      System.out.println(para.getBulletType());

 

 

} catch (Exception ex) {

 

      ex.printStackTrace();

 

}//catch
