Code Example

Delphi

uses
  dxCoreGraphics;  // This unit declares TdxAlphaColor and TdxAlphaColors types
// ...
var
  ADocument: IdxRichEditDocument;
  ATable: IdxRichEditTable;
  I, J: Integer;
begin
  ADocument := dxRichEditControl1.Document;
  ADocument.BeginUpdate;  // Initiates the following batch change
  try
    ATable := ADocument.Tables.Add(ADocument.CaretPosition, 3, 3);
    for I := 0 to ATable.Rows.Count - 1 do
      for J := 0 to ATable.Rows.Self[I].Cells.Count - 1 do
        ADocument.InsertText(ATable.Cell(I, J).Range.Start, 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');
    ATable.Borders.InsideHorizontalBorder.LineStyle := TdxRichEditTableBorderLineStyle.DotDotDash;
    ATable.Borders.InsideHorizontalBorder.LineColor := TdxAlphaColors.Firebrick;
    ATable.Borders.InsideVerticalBorder.LineStyle := TdxRichEditTableBorderLineStyle.Dotted;
    ATable.Borders.Bottom.LineStyle := TdxRichEditTableBorderLineStyle.ThinThickMediumGap;
    ATable.Borders.Bottom.LineThickness := 1.5;
    ATable.Borders.Bottom.LineColor := TdxAlphaColors.Red;
    ATable.Borders.Left.LineStyle := TdxRichEditTableBorderLineStyle.ThinThickMediumGap;
    ATable.Borders.Left.LineColor := TdxAlphaColors.Red;
    ATable.Borders.Left.LineThickness := 1.5;

    ATable.Borders.Top.LineColor := TdxAlphaColors.Red;
    ATable.Borders.Top.LineThickness := 1.5;
    ATable.TableBackgroundColor := TdxAlphaColors.LightSalmon;
  finally
    ADocument.EndUpdate;  // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
  end;
end;
