# ThisComponent Object

ThisComponent represents the current document in Basic macros. It addresses the active component whose properties can be read and set, and whose methods can be called. Properties and methods available through ThisComponent depend on the document type.

### Syntax:

      ThisComponent

When the active window is a Base form, query, report, table or view, ThisComponent returns the current Form information.

When active window is the Basic IDE, ThisComponent object returns the component owning the current script.

### Example:

    Sub Main
    ' updates the "Table of Contents" in a text doc
    Dim allindexes, index As Object
        allindexes = ThisComponent.getDocumentIndexes()
        index = allindexes.getByName("Table of Contents1")
        ' use the default name for Table of Contents and a 1
        index.update()
    End Sub
