IdxRichEditSubDocument.BeginUpdateParagraphs(IdxRichEditDocumentRange) Method

Starts to update the properties of one or more paragraphs to which the specified document range belongs.

Declaration

function BeginUpdateParagraphs(const ARange: IdxRichEditDocumentRange): IdxRichEditParagraphProperties;

Parameters

Name Type Description
ARange IdxRichEditDocumentRange

The target document range.

Returns

Type Description
IdxRichEditParagraphProperties

The target paragraph’s properties.

Remarks

A BeginUpdateParagraphs function call obtains properties of one or more paragraphs to which the target document range belongs. The EndUpdateParagraphs procedure accepts these paragraph settings and applies the changes made between BeginUpdateParagraphs and EndUpdateParagraphs calls.

Example

The following code example justifies the paragraph where the caret is located and sets a 2-centimeter first line indent:

var
  ADocument: IdxRichEditDocument;
  AParagraphProperties: IdxRichEditParagraphProperties;
begin
  ADocument := dxRichEditControl1.Document;
  ADocument.&Unit := TdxRichEditDocumentUnit.Centimeter;
  // Obtains properties of the paragraph where the caret is located
  AParagraphProperties := ADocument.BeginUpdateParagraphs(ADocument.Selection);
  AParagraphProperties.Alignment := TdxRichEditParagraphAlignment.Justify;
  AParagraphProperties.FirstLineIndentType := TdxRichEditParagraphFirstLineIndent.Indented;
  AParagraphProperties.FirstLineIndent := 2;
  ADocument.EndUpdateParagraphs(AParagraphProperties); // Applies the changes to the current paragraph
end;
