  • Table.MergeCellsAsync(TableCellPosition, TableCellPosition, CancellationToken) Method

    Merges all cells in the specified range.

    Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

    Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit.v25.1.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

    Declaration

    public ValueTask MergeCellsAsync(
        TableCellPosition startPosition,
        TableCellPosition endPosition,
        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default(CancellationToken)
    )

    Parameters

    Name Type Description
    startPosition TableCellPosition

    The position of the first cell in the range.

    endPosition TableCellPosition

    The position of the last cell in the range.

    Optional Parameters

    Name Type Default Description
    cancellationToken CancellationToken null

    An object that propagates a cancellation notification.

    Returns

    Type Description
    ValueTask

    A structure that stores an awaitable result of an asynchronous operation.

    Remarks

    A TableCellPosition object stores a cell’s position in a table. Pass two cell positions to the MergeCellsAsync method to merge all cells in the specified range. The result cell has the same appearance settings as the first cell in the range.

    Note

    The MergeCellsAsync method throws an exception if the table does not contain a cell at the specified position.

    The following example merges 6 cells:

    <DxRichEdit @ref="richEdit" />
    
    @code {
        DxRichEdit richEdit;
        protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender) {
            if (firstRender)
                try {
                    await InitializeDocument();
                }
                catch (TaskCanceledException) { }
            await base.OnAfterRenderAsync(firstRender);
        }
    
        async Task InitializeDocument() {
        /* 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 canceled. */
            try {
                var columnCount = 4;
                var rowCount = 5;
                richEdit.DocumentAPI.BeginUpdate();
                Table firstTable = await richEdit.DocumentAPI.Tables.CreateAsync(0, columnCount, rowCount);
                var startPosition = new TableCellPosition(0, 0); // The first cell in the first row
                var endPosition = new TableCellPosition(2, 1);   // The second cell in the third row
                await firstTable.MergeCellsAsync(startPosition, endPosition);
            }
            catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
                Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
            }
        }
    }
    

    Call the SplitAsync method to split a cell into multiple smaller cells.
