Topic: get vla Mtextobject of table cell

[CADwiesel]

Im looking for an way to get the vla-object of an Mtext of an acad_table object.
So at least eacht item in an Table is an own (most Mtext) object which i can get.
But till now i got the value of each cell, but not each as an object.
Maybe it's way is using the vla-getfieldid32 methode?

Hi,
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.. The GetContentType Method returns one of the following enumerables:

Code: [Select]

acCellContentTypeBlock
acCellContentTypeField
acCellContentTypeUnknown
acCellContentTypeValueWhich means that when you use GetCellValue Method you'll either get a vlax-vbString variant or a vlax-vbEmpty one.. but not a vlax-vbObject. (atleast thats the result from the quick test I did on a TypeField, TypeField and TypeBlock contenttype).

However for your case I'd suggest to use the SetCellTextStyle Method, meaning that you create and manipulate your own TextStyle Object, and in the end just apply it to the acad_table/AcDbTable object.
Another way would be to manipulate the cell itself via methods like: GetBackGroundColor GetContentColor GetTextHeight GetTextStyle GetCellStyle GetCellTextHeight.. and so on.

BTW You might find this sub useful, for dealing with table cells.

so this works for me...

Code: [Select]

(if
(setq vla-table(vlax-ename->vla-object(car(entsel))))
      (vlax-for item (vla-item (vla-get-blocks (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (cdr(assoc  2(entget(vlax-vla-object->ename vla-table)))))
        (if(=(strcase(vla-get-objectname item))"ACDBMTEXT")
