OneNote.SectionGroupCollection class

Represents a collection of section groups.

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.

count

Returns the number of section groups in the collection.

items

Gets the loaded child items in this collection.

Methods

getByName(name)

Gets the collection of section groups with the specified name.

getItem(index)

Gets a section group by ID or by its index in the collection. Read-only.

getItemAt(index)

Gets a section group on its position in the collection.

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.

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's passed to it.) Whereas the original OneNote.SectionGroupCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as OneNote.Interfaces.SectionGroupCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.

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're 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 need to add 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'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.

Remarks

Examples

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

    // Get the section groups that are direct children of the current notebook.
    const sectionGroups = context.application.getActiveNotebook().sectionGroups;

    // Queue a command to load the section groups.
    // For best performance, request specific properties.
    sectionGroups.load("id"); 

    // Get the section groups with the specified name.
    const labsSectionGroups = sectionGroups.getByName("Labs");

    // Queue a command to load the section groups with the specified properties.
    labsSectionGroups.load("id,name"); 
            
    // Run the queued commands, and return a promise to indicate task completion.
    await context.sync();

    // Iterate through the collection or access items individually by index.
    if (labsSectionGroups.items.length > 0) {
        console.log("Section group name: " + labsSectionGroups.items[0].name);
        console.log("Section group ID: " + labsSectionGroups.items[0].id);
    }
});

getItem(index)

Gets a section group by ID or by its index in the collection. Read-only.

getItem(index: number | string): OneNote.SectionGroup;

Parameters

index

number | string

The ID of the section group, or the index location of the section group in the collection.

Returns

Remarks

[ API set: OneNoteApi 1.1 ]

getItemAt(index)

getItemAt(index: number): OneNote.SectionGroup;

Parameters

index

number

Index value of the object to be retrieved. Zero-indexed.

Returns

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.SectionGroupCollectionLoadOptions & OneNote.Interfaces.CollectionLoadOptions): OneNote.SectionGroupCollection;

Parameters

options

OneNote.Interfaces.SectionGroupCollectionLoadOptions & OneNote.Interfaces.CollectionLoadOptions

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.SectionGroupCollection;

Parameters

propertyNames

string | string[]

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

Returns

Examples

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

    // Get the section groups that are direct children of the current notebook.
    const sectionGroups = context.application.getActiveNotebook().sectionGroups;

    // Queue a command to load the section groups.
    // For best performance, request specific properties.
    sectionGroups.load("name"); 

    // Run the queued commands, and return a promise to indicate task completion.
    await context.sync();
            
    // Iterate through the collection or access items individually by index.
    // For example: sectionGroups.items[0]
    $.each(sectionGroups.items, function(index, sectionGroup) {
        console.log("Section group name: " + sectionGroup.name);  
        console.log("Section group ID: " + sectionGroup.id);  
    });
});

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?: OfficeExtension.LoadOption): OneNote.SectionGroupCollection;

Parameters

propertyNamesAndPaths
OfficeExtension.LoadOption

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

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's passed to it.)

toJSON(): OneNote.Interfaces.SectionGroupCollectionData;

If you're 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 need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created.

track(): OneNote.SectionGroupCollection;

Returns

untrack()

Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject).
