NoteCollection.HasSeparator(NoteSeparatorType) Method

Determines whether notes have the specified separator type.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

Declaration

C#

bool HasSeparator(
    NoteSeparatorType type
)

VB.NET

Function HasSeparator(
    type As NoteSeparatorType
) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
type	NoteSeparatorType	The separator type.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the separator type exists; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Call the NoteCollection.HasSeparator method to determine whether notes already have a specified separator type. If the document does not contain the specified separator, the NoteCollection.BeginUpdateSeparator method call creates a new separator.

Use the NoteCollection.BeginUpdateSeparator - NoteCollection.EndUpdateSeparator paired methods to update one of the note separators (separator, continuation separator, or continuation notice).

The code sample below shows how to change the footnote separator:

C#

RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer();
wordProcessor.LoadDocument("Documents//Grimm.docx");
Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
if (document.Footnotes.HasSeparator(NoteSeparatorType.Separator))
{
    SubDocument noteSeparator = document.Footnotes.BeginUpdateSeparator(NoteSeparatorType.Separator);
    noteSeparator.Delete(noteSeparator.Range);
    noteSeparator.AppendText("***");
    document.Footnotes.EndUpdateSeparator(noteSeparator);
}

VB.NET

Dim wordProcessor As RichEditDocumentServer = New RichEditDocumentServer()
wordProcessor.LoadDocument("Documents//Grimm.docx")
Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document

If document.Footnotes.HasSeparator(NoteSeparatorType.Separator) Then
    Dim noteSeparator As SubDocument = document.Footnotes.BeginUpdateSeparator(NoteSeparatorType.Separator)
    noteSeparator.Delete(noteSeparator.Range)
    noteSeparator.AppendText("***")
    document.Footnotes.EndUpdateSeparator(noteSeparator)
End If
