How to get IAttributeStrand for each Cell in Table

Question

Hello All,
I am trying to set the font and size depending upon the user inputs under each cell in the table.
For Text frame I am able to achieve this by using ITextModel->QueryStrand(). But for Table I am not able to find any function which can allow me to query the Cell Strand and allow to apply the attributes.
Has anyone been able to achieve the same. If so please do let me know its urgent.
Thank you all in advance.
regards
Farzana.

Hi,<br /> <br />Thanks for the prompt reply. By the way I forgot to mention that we are using the same in CS3.<br />We tried as you have mentioned in your mail. But we did not find any way to achieve the ITextStoryThread from ICellConent. We tried all possible ways but we always get the Text Frame TextModel.<br />We have used following code to get TextModel for each cell. We get correct startindex and endindex for each cell and also get the valid TextModel Interface. But when we try to find out its length then it returns the whole TextModel length. <br />Thus when we try to apply different attributes for each cell then it applies to whole table. <br />E.g. When we try to apply 12 font size for 1st cell then it also applies to remaining cells.  So we think we are not able to find out correct TextModel for each cell. <br /> <br />Below is our snippet of code on what we tried.<br /> <br />ITableModel::const_iterator iterTable(tableModel->begin());<br />ITableModel::const_iterator end(tableModel->end());<br /> <br />while(iterTable != end) <br />{<br />GridAddress gridAddress = *iterTable; <br />GridID gridid= tableModel->GetGridID(gridAddress);<br /> <br />   InterfacePtr<ITableTextContainer> tableTextContainer(tableModel, UseDefaultIID());<br />   if(tableTextContainer != nil) <br />   {<br />       InterfacePtr<ITextModel> textModel(tableTextContainer->QueryTextModel());<br />       if(textModel != nil) <br />       {<br />          InterfacePtr<ITextStoryThreadDict> textStoryThreadDict(tableModel, UseDefaultIID());<br />          if (textStoryThreadDict != nil) <br />          {<br />              InterfacePtr<ITextStoryThread> textStoryThread(textStoryThreadDict->QueryThread(gridid));<br />              if (textStoryThread != nil)<br />              {<br />                 InterfacePtr<ITextModel> iTextModel(textStoryThread->QueryTextModel());<br />                 if (iTextModel != nil)<br />                 {<br />                      TextIndex startIndx;<br />                      TextIndex endIndx;<br />                      startIndx=textStoryThread->GetTextStart(&endIndx);<br />                 }<br />                 else<br />                     CAlert::ErrorAlert("iTextModel == nil");<br />             }<br />          }<br />       } <br />   }<br />                                     <br />   ++iterTable;    <br /> }<br /><br />Regards,<br />Farzana.
