Section.HasHeader(HeaderFooterType) Method

Gets whether a section has a header of the specified type.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v22.1.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

bool HasHeader(
    HeaderFooterType type
)

VB.NET

Function HasHeader(
    type As HeaderFooterType
) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
type	HeaderFooterType	A HeaderFooterType enumeration value specifying the header type.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if the section has a header of the specified type; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When a new header is created using the Section.BeginUpdateHeader method without arguments, it is the header of the HeaderFooterType.Primary type which is the same for all pages, unless the Section.DifferentFirstPage or the Document.DifferentOddAndEvenPages properties are set to true. So in this situation, you can use the HasHeader method to check for the HeaderFooterType.Primary header type.

HeaderAndFooterActions.cs

using (RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer())
Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
    Section firstSection = document.Sections[0];

    // Check whether the document already has a header (the same header for all pages).
    if (!firstSection.HasHeader(HeaderFooterType.Primary))
    {
        //If not, create an empty header.
        SubDocument headerDocument = firstSection.BeginUpdateHeader();
        headerDocument.Paragraphs.Append();
        firstSection.EndUpdateHeader(headerDocument);
    }
}

HeaderAndFooterActions.vb

Using wordProcessor As New RichEditDocumentServer()
Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
    Dim firstSection As Section = document.Sections(0)

    ' Check whether the document already has a header (the same header for all pages).
    If Not firstSection.HasHeader(HeaderFooterType.Primary) Then
        'If not, create an empty header.
        Dim headerDocument As SubDocument = firstSection.BeginUpdateHeader()
        headerDocument.Paragraphs.Append()
        firstSection.EndUpdateHeader(headerDocument)
    End If
End Using
