RichEditCommands.changeTableCellFormatting Property

Gets a command to change the cell formatting of the selected table elements.

Declaration

changeTableCellFormatting: ChangeTableCellFormattingCommand

Property Value

Type	Description
ChangeTableCellFormattingCommand	A ChangeTableCellFormattingCommand object that provides methods for executing the command and checking its state.

Remarks

You can invoke this command by calling the execute method.

The execute method checks the command state (obtained using the getState method) before executing, and decides whether the action can be performed. The execute and getState methods are members of the ChangeTableCellFormattingCommand class.

The command includes size parameters assigned in twips. Use the ASPxClientRichEdit.unitConverter to convert size measure units (inches, points, pixels, centimeters) to twips.

Usage example

JS

var cellFormatSettings = {marginsSameAsTable: false, marginBottom: richEdit.unitConverter.pixelsToTwips(50)};
richEdit.commands.changeTableCellFormatting.execute(cellFormatSettings);

The vertical margin settings (top and bottom) for each table cell in a row is calculated by getting the maximum vertical margin values from all cells in the row.

The preferredWidth parameter allows you to specify a width value of selected table cells. The parameter is applied when the preferredWidth value of the whole table is cleared. The following code snippet demonstrates how to disable the width settings of the whole table and define the preferredWidth value for the selected table cells.

JS

var tableSettings = {preferredWidth: {type: ASPx.TableWidthUnitType.Nil, value: 0}, resizeToFitContent: false};
richEdit.commands.changeTableFormatting.execute(tableSettings);

var tableCellSettings = {preferredWidth: {type: ASPx.TableWidthUnitType.ModelUnits, value: richEdit.unitConverter.pixelsToTwips(75)}};
richEdit.commands.changeTableCellFormatting.execute(tableCellSettings);
