Description dsherwin 2004-09-06 16:18:17 UTC 
The XText interfaces has functions for creating TextCursor. 
Every Redline has an XText interface and trying to create a TextCursor with a
redline's XText interface causes an exception.

redlineEnum = document.getRedlines()

while redlineEnum.hasMoreElements():
  nextRedline = redlineEnum.nextElement()

  try:
    textCursor = nextRedline.Text.createTextCursor()
  except Exception, e:
    print "x"
    print e

Prints out:
x

MRU->SW: Is this API stuff?

SW->TL: to reproduce just record changes with "Edit-changes-record" and type
something in your testdocument. Afterwards execute the following macro

Sub Main
On Error goto buah
redlineEnum = thiscomponent.getRedlines()
msgbox redlineEnum.Count
nextOne = redLineEnum(0)
msgbox nextOne.String
textCursor = nextOne.Text.createTextCursor()
msgbox testcursor.dbg_methods
exit sub
buah:
	print "exception"
End Sub

=> a message box stating that an exception appeared pops up

According to OS the implementation of redlining is planned to be changed
considerably in the next release and fixing this will become considerable easier.

Thus we should wait until redlining implementation has changed.
