Examples

The following example demonstrates TableCell.getLength in a practical document-editing workflow. It gets the number of characters in the table cell. If the table cell is merged, the property returns -1.

function onTxError(error) {
    console.error("TX Text Control error:", error.msg);
    error.handled = true;
}

function inspectLength(tableCell) {
    tableCell.getLength(
        function(result) {
            console.log("get length result:", result);
        },
        onTxError
    );
}
