Field Class

A field in a sub-document.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit.v21.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

Declaration

public class Field :
    DocumentElementBase

Remarks

A field is a placeholder for data that can change, for instance, a page number, or the current date and time. The Rich Text Editor replaces fields with actual data when it updates fields or prints a document.

Use the Fields property to access methods that allow you to create, get, update fields, and change their display mode.

<DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />

@code {
    DxRichEdit richEdit;
    Document documentAPI;
    @* ... *@
    /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
    the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
        try {
            documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
            @* ... *@
            Field field = await documentAPI.Fields.CreateAsync(0, "DATE");
            await documentAPI.Fields.UpdateAsync(field);
            @* ... *@
        }
        catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
            Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
        }
}

Field Structure

The Rich Text Editor stores fields in the following form: {Code}Result>. For instance, the field that calculates the current date is stored as {DATE}4/30/2021>.

The Code part specifies how the Result part should be calculated when the field is updated. In a document, a field can be displayed as a code or result according to the field’s display mode.

Rich Text Editor Overview

A field’s Code part has the following syntax:

FIELDNAME Properties Optional_Switches

  • FIELDNAME - the name of the field.
  • Properties - any instructions or variables that are used in a particular field.
  • Optional switches - parameters that contain additional information.

Refer to the following section for a list of supported field codes and their structures: Supported Fields.

Create Fields

You can create a field in the following ways:

  • Pass a position and a Code to the CreateAsync(Int32, String) method to insert a field in the specified position.

    <DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />
    
    @code {
        DxRichEdit richEdit;
        Document documentAPI;
        @* ... *@
        /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
        the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
            try {
                documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
                @* ... *@
                Field field = await documentAPI.Fields.CreateAsync(0, "DATE");
                await documentAPI.Fields.UpdateAsync(field);
                @* ... *@
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
                Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
            }
    }
    
  • Call the CreateAsync(Interval) or CreateAsync(Int32, Int32) method to wrap an interval that contains a Code in a new field.

    <DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />
    
    @code {
        DxRichEdit richEdit;
        Document documentAPI;
        @* ... *@
        /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
        the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
            try {
                documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
                @* ... *@
                // Accesses a header
                Section section = await documentAPI.Sections.GetAsync(0);
                SubDocument header = await section.GetHeaderAsync(HeaderFooterType.Primary, true);
                // Inserts the "PAGE" text in the header
                TextSpan pageNumber = await header.AddTextAsync("PAGE");
                // Creates a PAGE field
                Field pageField = await header.Fields.CreateAsync(pageNumber.Interval);
                // Updates the field
                await header.Fields.UpdateAsync(pageField);
                @* ... *@
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
                Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
            }
    }
    

The Rich Text Editor allows users to create commonly used fields with ribbon commands and hotkeys. Refer to the following section for more information on supported fields: Supported Fields.

Access Fields

Call the GetAsync(Int32) method to access a field by its index in a sub-document. To get all fields a sub-document contains, call the GetAllAsync() method.

The following example shows how to access the first field and all fields in the main sub-document:

<DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />

@code {
    DxRichEdit richEdit;
    Document documentAPI;
    @* ... *@
    /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
    the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
        try {
            documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
            @* ... *@
            Field firstField = await documentAPI.Fields.GetAsync(0);
            IReadOnlyList<Field> fields = await documentAPI.Fields.GetAllAsync();
            @* ... *@
        }
        catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
            Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
        }
}

You can get text intervals that contain a field code (CodeInterval), field result (ResultInterval), or entire field (Interval). To get a Text Span in the specified interval, call the GetTextSpanAsync(Interval) method.

<DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />

@code {
    DxRichEdit richEdit;
    Document documentAPI;
    @* ... *@
    /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
    the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
        try {
            documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
            @* ... *@
            Field field = await documentAPI.Fields.CreateAsync(0, "DATE"); // Creates the DATE field
            await documentAPI.GetTextSpanAsync(field.Interval); // Returns a Text Span that contains "{DATE}>"
            await documentAPI.Fields.UpdateAsync(field); // Calculates the field result
            field = await documentAPI.Fields.GetAsync(field.Index); // Gets the updated field
            await documentAPI.GetTextSpanAsync(field.Interval); // Returns a Text Span that contains "{DATE}4/30/2021>"
            await documentAPI.GetTextSpanAsync(field.CodeInterval); // Returns a Text Span that contains "DATE"
            await documentAPI.GetTextSpanAsync(field.ResultInterval); // Returns a Text Span that contains "4/30/2021"
            @* ... *@
        }
        catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
            Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
        }
}

Update Fields

Update a field to calculate and display the field result. You can use API members or UI to update a field.

  • Call the UpdateAllAsync(Boolean) method to update every field in a sub-document or in all sub-documents.

    <DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />
    
    @code {
        DxRichEdit richEdit;
        Document documentAPI;
        @* ... *@
        /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
        the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
            try {
                documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
                @* ... *@
                await documentAPI.Fields.UpdateAllAsync(true);
                @* ... *@
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
                Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
            }
    }
    
  • Call the UpdateAsync(Field) method to update a field.

    <DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />
    
    @code {
        DxRichEdit richEdit;
        Document documentAPI;
        @* ... *@
        /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
        the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
            try {
                documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
                @* ... *@
                Field field = await documentAPI.Fields.CreateAsync(0, "DATE");
                await documentAPI.Fields.UpdateAsync(field);
                @* ... *@
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
                Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
            }
    }
    
  • Select the Mail MergeUpdate All Fields ribbon command to update all fields in a document.

  • Select the ReferencesUpdate Table ribbon command to update a TOC field.

  • Select a range that contains field(s) and press F9 to update the field(s).

Delete Fields

A field’s Interval property allows you get the interval that contains the field. Pass a field’s interval to the sub-document’s RemoveAsync(Interval) method to delete the field.

The following example deletes the first field in the main sub-document.

<DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />

@code {
    DxRichEdit richEdit;
    Document documentAPI;
    @* ... *@
    /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
    the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
        try {
            documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
            @* ... *@
            Field firstField = await documentAPI.Fields.GetAsync(0);
            await documentAPI.RemoveAsync(firstField.Interval);
            @* ... *@
        }
        catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
            Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
        }
}

Display Mode

The Rich Text Editor can display a field as a code (for instance, { DATE }) or result (for instance, 4/30/2021). You can use API members or UI to switch between display modes.

  • Call the ShowAllFieldCodesAsync(Boolean) or ShowAllFieldResultsAsync(Boolean) method to specify the display mode of every field in a sub-document or in all sub-documents.

    <DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />
    
    @code {
        DxRichEdit richEdit;
        Document documentAPI;
        @* ... *@
        /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
        the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
            try {
                documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
                @* ... *@
                await documentAPI.Fields.ShowAllFieldResultsAsync();
                await documentAPI.Fields.ShowAllFieldCodesAsync();
                @* ... *@
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
                Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
            }
    }
    
  • Call the ToggleViewAsync(Field) method to change the display mode of a field.

    <DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />
    
    @code {
        DxRichEdit richEdit;
        Document documentAPI;
        @* ... *@
        /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
        the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
            try {
                documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
                @* ... *@
                // Gets the first field in the main sub-document
                Field firstField = await documentAPI.Fields.GetAsync(0);
                // If the Rich Text Editor displays the first field as a code, displays the field as a result
                if (firstField.IsShowCode)
                    await documentAPI.Fields.ToggleViewAsync(firstField);
                    @* ... *@
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
                Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
            }
    }
    
  • Select the Mail MergeShow All Field Codes or Show All Field Results ribbon command to set display mode of a document’s fields.

  • Press ALT+F9 to change display mode of a document’s fields.

Supported Fields

The switch specifies the date-time format applied to the field result. The default format is “M/d/yyyy”.

You can create this field in the following ways:

  • Call a CreateAsync method.

    <DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />
    
    @code {
        DxRichEdit richEdit;
        Document documentAPI;
        @* ... *@
        /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
        the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
            try {
                documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;

  • Call a CreateAsync method.

    <DxRichEdit  @bind-Selection="@selection" @ref="@richEdit" 
        CalculateDocumentVariable="@(async x => await OnCalculateDocumentVariable(x))" />
    @code {
        DxRichEdit richEdit { get; set; }
        Selection selection { get; set; }
        @* ... *@
        /* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
        the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
            try {
                await richEdit.DocumentAPI.Fields.CreateAsync(richEdit.Selection.CaretPosition, "DOCVARIABLE paragraphCount");
                await richEdit.DocumentAPI.AddTextAsync("Number of paragraphs: ");
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
                Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
            }
            @* ... *@
    }
    
  • Select Mail MergeCreate FieldDOCVARIABLE ribbon command.

When a DOCVARIABLE field is updated, the Rich Text Editor fires the CalculateDocumentVariable event. Specify the event handler to calculate the field result.

<DxRichEdit  @bind-Selection="@selection" @ref="@richEdit" 
    CalculateDocumentVariable="@(async x => await OnCalculateDocumentVariable(x))" />
@code {
    DxRichEdit richEdit { get; set; }
    Selection selection { get; set; }
    @* ... *@
    async Task OnCalculateDocumentVariable(CalculateDocumentVariableEventArgs e) {
        try {
            switch (e.VariableName) {
                case "paragraphCount":
                    var paragraphs = await richEdit.DocumentAPI.Paragraphs.GetAllAsync();
                    e.Value = paragraphs.Count.ToString();
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }
        }
        catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
            Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
        }
    }
}

TOC

Generates a table of contents, table of figures, table of tables, or table of equations.

{ TOC [ switches ] }

A table of contents can include heading paragraphs, SEQ fields, and TC fields.

The Rich Text Editor does not update a TOC field when the document is printed.

Switch Description
Without switches the table of contents is built based on heading paragraphs.
\h Inserts entries as hyperlinks.
\n “levelStart-levelEnd” Omits page numbers in the table of contents from the specified levels (for instance, { TOC \n 1-1 } omits page numbers from level 1). When the range is not specified, omits page numbers from all levels.
\o “levelStart-levelEnd” Builds a table of contents from paragraphs with specified outline levels. For example, { TOC \o “1-3” } lists only paragraphs with outline levels 1 through 3.
\c “seq field identifier” Builds a table of contents from items that have SEQ fields. The SEQ fields’ identifier should match the “seq field identifier”.
\f “TC identifier” Builds a table of contents from TC fields. TC fields’ identifier should match the “TC identifier”.
\p “separator” Specifies the characters that separate sequence numbers and page numbers. The default separator is a tab with leader dots. You can use up to five characters enclosed in quotation marks.

You can create this field in the following ways:

  • Call a CreateAsync method.

    <DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />
    
    @code {
