Description

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)

The following example works with tables in the current document.

TableCollection tableCollection = textControl.Tables;
tableCollection.Add(3, 3, 10);

Dim tableCollection As TableCollection = textControl.Tables
tableCollection.Add(3, 3, 10)

Members

Properties

Property	Description
CanAdd	Gets a value indicating whether a new table can be inserted at the current input position. This property does not check for protected TextFields and/or protected document sections. To perform this use in addition the TextControl.CanEdit property.
Count	Gets the number of tables contained in the collection. (Inherited from TableBaseCollection.)
GridLines	Gets or sets a value indicating wether table grid lines are shown or not.
IsSynchronized	Returns true if the collection is designed to be thread safe, otherwise, it returns false. (Inherited from TableBaseCollection.)
SupportedFormulaFunctions	Gets a list of all formula functions currently supported. These functions are listed in Supported Formula Functions. For more information how to construct a formula with predefined functions see Using Formulas in Table Cells.
SupportedNumberFormats	Gets a list of often used number formats for formula results. See Formatting Text by using Number Formats for more information about number format strings.
SyncRoot	Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the collection. (Inherited from TableBaseCollection.)

Methods

Method	Description
Add	Adds a new table at the current text input position.
Clear	Removes all tables contained in the collection from a Text Control document. (Inherited from TableBaseCollection.)
CopyTo	Copies the elements of the collection to an array, starting at a particular index. (Inherited from TableBaseCollection.)
GetEnumerator	Returns an enumerator that can be used to iterate through the collection. (Inherited from TableBaseCollection.)
GetItem	Gets the table at the current input position. To get a particular table with a certain identifier use the base class's implementation TableBaseCollection.GetItem.
GetItem	Gets a particular table from the collection. (Inherited from TableBaseCollection.)
Remove	Removes the table at the current text input position. To remove a particular table with a certain identifier use the base class's implementation TableBaseCollection.Remove.
Remove	Removes a particular table from the collection. (Inherited from TableBaseCollection.)
