Inserts a table into a Word Processing control.

Example

// Inserts a 3x3 table at position 1
WP_Table.InsertTable(1, 3, 3)

// Inserts a table containing 3 columns and 2 rows at cursor position
WP_Table.InsertTable(WP_Table..Cursor, 3, 2)

Syntax

<Result> = <Word Processing control>.InsertTable(<Position> [, <Number of columns> [, <Number of rows>]])

<Result>: docFragment variable

Versions 24 and later
docFragment variable with the inserted fragment.
New in version 24
docFragment variable with the inserted fragment.
docFragment variable with the inserted fragment.

<Word Processing control>: Control name

Name of Word Processing control to use.

<Position>: Integer

Position where the table will be inserted. This position is expressed in number of characters.

<Number of columns>: Optional integer

Number of columns in the table. This parameters corresponds to 1 by default.

<Number of rows>: Optional integer

Number of rows in the table. This parameters corresponds to 1 by default.

Remarks

Handling a Table by programming

A table in a Word Processing document can be handled by the WLanguage functions for managing arrays.

Some examples:

<Variable>.Add or <Array/List variable>.Add to add rows or columns,
<Variable>.Delete or <Array variable>.Delete to delete rows, columns, or the table itself.

// Retrieve the document
MyDocument is Document <- WP_ExampleWP
// Inserts a 3x3 table at position 1
WP_Example.InsertTable(1, 3, 3)

// Define a fragment corresponding to the table
f is WP_Example WP..Value.Fragment(WP_ExampleWP..Cursor, 0)

let para <- f..Paragraph[1]
IF para..Table = Null THEN
RETURN
END

doc is Document <- WP_ExampleWP..Value

// Adds a row to the table
nSubscript is int = Add(para..Table..Rows)

// Input in cell 2,2
para.Table..Cells[2,2]..Content..Text = "I'm in cell 2,2"

// Deletes row 3
Delete(para..Table..Rows, 3)

// Deletes column 3
Delete(para..Table..Columns, 3)

// Deletes the entire table where the cursor is positioned
Delete(doc..Paragraph, para..ParagraphIndex)

Example for creating a table in a document with the content of a Table control:

// A window contains a memory Table control named TABLE_Demo
// and a Word Processing control named WP_Demo
// The following code adds a table into the Word Processing control with:
// - in first table row, the title of columns found in the Table control,
// - the content of Table control in the other table rows.

MyDoc is Document
cTable is Control <- TABLE_Demo
pCol is Control

FragmentStart is MyDoc.docFragment(1)
FragmentStart..Formatting..FontSize = 24
FragmentStart..Formatting..TextColor = DarkRed
FragmentStart..Text = "Table in WP with " + cTable..Caption + CR + CR

// Insert the table into the document in memory ...
MyDoc.DocInsertTable(20, TableCount(cTable, toColumn), cTable..Count + 1)

FOR EACH para OF MyDoc..Paragraph
IF para..Table <> Null THEN
// For all columns of table control ...
FOR nColumn = 1 _TO_ TableCount(cTable, toColumn)

// First tab le line containing the title of columns
pCol <- TableEnumColumn(cTable, nColumn)
para..Table..Cells[1, nColumn]..Content..Text = pCol..Caption

// Fill all rows of this column
FOR nRow = 1 _TO_ cTable..Occurrence
para..Table..Cells[nRow+1, nColumn]..Content..Text = pCol[nRow]
END
END
BREAK
END
END

// Document in memory assigned to the Word Processing control
WP_Demo = MyDoc
