How to format paragraphs in a table cell programmatically

I am adding three paragraphs to a cell:
this.currentTable.rows[0].cells[0].contents =
record[this.GUIDE_LOCNAME_ENG] + "\r" +
record[this.GUIDE_LOCNAME_FR] + "\r" +
record[this.GUIDE_LOCDESC] +"\r" +
record[this.LATITUDE] + "N " + record[this.LONGITUDE] +"W";
I am still relatively new to the InDesign model and my head hurts
I want to access the paragraphs and change the paragraph style of each paragraph to three different paragraph styles. I have searched and I am stymied.
Thanks in advance
Bill

I count 4 paragraphs there! Anyway, once you've added the contents to
the cell, it should be a simple matter of:
para1 = this.currentTable.rows[0].cells[0].paragraphs[0];
para2 = this.currentTable.rows[0].cells[0].paragraphs[1];
etc.
then, to apply a paragraph style:
myParaStyles = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles;
para1.appliedParagraphStyle = myParaStyles.itemByName("aStyleName");
etc.
(If you para styles are in groups, you need to target the group first
before the paragraph style).

How to remove paragraph breaks from table cells?

I need to remove paragraph breaks from selection of cells in my table and replace them with a space and a dot.
Tried this and it did not work:
=SUBSTITUTE(AH2,CHAR(10)," .")
I also tried to use find and replace, but it didn't work either.
Any ideas?

Did you read the error message returned by the app ?
I also tried to use find and replace, but it didn't work either.
I'm sure that you didn't inserted the correct value in the "Find/Search" field but I can't guess what was the one which you inserted ? .
I selected the character to replace, Copy it then pasted it in the Find/Search field.

How to format paragraph string to show content left, Right or middle of pdf document using iTextsharp ' vb

Dear All
how to format paragraph string to show content left, Right or middle of pdf document using iTextsharp in visual basic and absolute position on the document.
Thanks

Here is one more example that i have modified the GetCell function so that you can use it for adding all the cells to the document. It takes several arguments to specify everything you need to create each cell. It now lets
you specify the Text, the Text Alignment, the Text Font and color, weather the cell shows the Border, the BackColor of the cell, and the Padding values for the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom.
If you study the code you should be able to figure out how it works. From here you can figure out the rest of what you need to do and how to use the
GetCell function.

How can I copy and paste table cells from Pages into InDesign with minimum reformating?

Do you mean you want to retain the formatting from Pages, or retain formatting already applied in ID?

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a databae?

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a database using LabVIEW Database Toolkit? I am using Ms Access. Suppose I have three columns in a table, I write 1st row of 1st column, then 1st row of 3rd column. The problem I am having is after writing the 1st row 1st column, the reference goes to second row and if I write into 3rd column, it goes to 2nd row 3rd column. Any suggestion?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you do a SQL INSERT command, you create a new row. If you want to change an existing row, you have to use the UPDATE command (i.e. UPDATE tablename SET column = value WHERE some_column=some_value). The some_column could be the unique ID of each row, a date/time, etc.
I have no idea what function to use in the toolkit to execute a SQL command since I don't use the toolkit. I also don't understand why you just don't do a single INSERT. It would be much faster.

Hi,
The table control is simply a 2D array of string. So all you need to do is to pick up the Date from the appropriate .vi and replace the array element (using replace array subset) and write the whole table back again. (Example attached for LV 6.0.x)

How can I insert/move a table cell in Pages?

I'm making labels for tab dividers (specifically, for dividers in comic book boxes) and I'm trying to figure out how I can insert an empty cell in the table. Or move the other cells over/down and have them "wrap" from the end of the row to the beginning of the next row if neccessary. Can this be done?

KonKrypton wrote:
Jerrold, I can do that, but I was hoping for a way to "scootch over" the cells so I can keep them in order. That would require me to cut and paste every cell from the target cell to the end of the document (or page). I have a feeling that what I'm looking for doesn't exist.
Thanks, I appreciate the idea.
Kon,
It would be easy to move a group of rows, but there's no way to get it to snake down or up. This is a 2-D array, not not a linear array that has been meandered into a rectangle. You could write an expression to do this, but it would take several steps, and would involve a second table. You could also write an Applescript to do what you want. All of this seems a lot of work for what, as Peter notes, seems a rather simple result.

How to control background color of table cell in an html report?

I am using Labview 6.1 to generate a report. In that report there is a table created using the Append Numeric Table to Report VI. I want to be able to programmatically control the background color of each cell in the table. Also, how can I programmatically control the background color of the row and header cells of the same table. I am also generating a second table in the same report using the Append Text Table to Report VI and I would like to programmatically control the background colors of the cells in that table as well. Thanks.

Hi epsilon-d...,
i´m not sure if there is an ready to use function to do what you want, but you can enlarge the available function. Open the "Append Numeric Table to Report.vi" and go to the HTML Case. There you can see another vi which creates the html table. In the VI "HTML Report Table Row" you can add the option: bgcolor="your color" inside of the "TR" tag.
Hope it helps.

Please lell me how can i create a TableModel , means
we have to create a seperate class or I have to do
like this---------------
private TableModel myData;
private JTable oTable = new JTable(myData);
and call this method on table object
int iRows = oTable.getRowCount();
oTable.isCellEditable(iRows,2);\Something like this:
public class MyTableModel extends DefaultTableModel {
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
return false;
}Or even better, extend AbstractTableModel. AbstractTableModel already overrides isCellEditable to return false.
public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {

How to show line feeds in table cell

Dear Expert,
Now we meet one question,we have a long text which include many line feeds,when show it in a cell of one table in smartform.we can only see the line feeds become to some ##. not do the ENTER or TAB..
    For example, the show like below:
    ABECDEF#MNIOPHN
   not
   ABECDEF
   MNIOPHN
So, Would you like to tell me how to do?
Thanks&Regards,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,
You can use the attributes of class: cl_abap_char_utilities
If it_longtext is the table which contains your longtext data.
DATA: c_new value cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline,
            v_ltxt type string.
loop at it_longtexts into wa_longtexts.
concatenate v_ltxt wa_longtexts-text_line into v_ltxt.
endloop.
refresh it_longtexts[].
split v_ltxt at c_new into it_lontexts.
