Section.GetHeaderAsync(HeaderFooterType, Boolean) Method

Returns a sub-document that is the section’s header.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

Declaration

public ValueTask<SubDocument> GetHeaderAsync(
    HeaderFooterType type = HeaderFooterType.Odd,
    bool createIfNotExist = false
)

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
type	HeaderFooterType	1	The type of header to be returned.
createIfNotExist	Boolean	False	true to create a header if it does not exist; false to not create a header.

Returns

Type	Description
ValueTask<SubDocument>	A structure that stores an awaitable result of an asynchronous operation. The awaitable result is a sub-document object.

Remarks

A main sub-document consists of at least one logical section. Each section can have its own header of the following types: first, primary, odd, and even.

Call the GetHeaderAsync method to get a sub-document that is the section header. Use the type parameter to specify the type of the header to return. If the section has no header of the specified type, you can set createIfNotExist to true to create the new header.
