An instance of the TableCollection class contains all tables of a Text Control document or part of the document represented through objects of the type Table. It can be obtained with the TextControl.Tables, HeaderFooter.Tables or TextFrame.Tables property. The TableCollection class is derived from the TableBaseCollection class and implements therefore the IEnumerable and the ICollection interfaces. Additionally to the properties and methods inherited it implements the following:

Syntax

public sealed class TableCollection: TableBaseCollection
Public NotInheritable Class TableCollection
  Inherits TableBaseCollection

Examples

The following example shows how to handle the table collection.

int myTableId = 10;
textControl1.Tables.GridLines = false;

if(textControl1.Tables.CanAdd)
    textControl1.Tables.Add(5, 3, myTableId);

TXTextControl.Table myTable = textControl1.Tables.GetItem(myTableId);
textControl1.Tables.Remove(myTableId);
Dim MyTableId As Integer = 10
TextControl1.Tables.GridLines = False

If TextControl1.Tables.CanAdd Then
    TextControl1.Tables.Add(5, 3, MyTableId)
End If

Dim MyTable As TXTextControl.Table = TextControl1.Tables.GetItem(MyTableId)
TextControl1.Tables.Remove(MyTableId)
