Topic: Table Style some options

[Andrey Bushman]

Hi all. I apologize for my bad English.

I have  some questions about Table Style. Please, run the "_tablestyle" command. Will be opened "Table style" window. Press the "Modify..." button. Will be open "Modify table style" window. My questions is about this window some settings.

1. How can I get/set some values for Cell Style, such as:
   1.1. General tab of "Modify table style" window:      
      1.1.1. Which formated string must I use for the set 'format' option for Cell Style? [IS SOLVED]
         Click "..." button. Will be opened "Table Cell Format window".
         Please, show me the examples of formated string for:
         1. Data type: Angle, Format: Decimal degrees, Precission: 0.000
         2. Data type: Decimal Number, Format: Decimal, Precission: 0.00
         3. Data type: Percentage, Precission: 0.000, Append symbol: checked
         4. Data type: Point, Format: Decimal, Precission: 0.00, List separator: ','(Comma), X: checked, Y: checked, Z: unchecked
         5. Data type: Text, Format: Uppercase
         6. Data type: Text, Format: First capital
         

Code - C#: [Select]

1. //customTableStyle is IAcadTableStyle
2. customTableStyle.SetFormat2("MyCellStyleName", "necessary formated string...");//???

   
      1.1.2. How can I set 'horizontal/vertical margins' options for each Cell Style individual? [IS SOLVED]         

Code - C#: [Select]

1. //Next changes will be applied not for "MyCellStyleName" but for other. How can I do it for "MyCellStyleName"?
2. //customTableStyle is IAcadTableStyle
3. customTableStyle.HorzCellMargin = 1;
4. customTableStyle.VertCellMargin = 1;

   1.2. Borders tab of "Modify table style" window:       
      1.2.1. How can I set 'Linetype' option for Cell Style? [IS SOLVED]      
      1.2.2. How can I set 'Double line' option for Cell Style? [IS SOLVED]
      1.2.3. How can I set 'Spacing' option for Cell Style?    [IS SOLVED]
2. How can I create Table Style like it does the button "select table to start from"? [NOT SOLVED]
3. What is the flag BitFlags? ObjectARX 2013 SDK documentation does not contain any info about "IAcadTableStyle": [NOT SOLVED]

Code - C#: [Select]

1. //customTableStyle is IAcadTableStyle
2. customTableStyle.BitFlags = 1;

Anybody read my topic?

Maybe it will be interesting not only for me...

I wrote test code for solwing question number 1.1.1:

Code - C#: [Select]

1. using System;
2. //Autodesk namespaces ***************
3. using acad = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;
4. using AcApp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
5. using AcDb = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
6. using AcEd = Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
7. using AcRtm = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
8. using AcPlt = Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices;
9. using AcInt = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal;
10. //************************************
11.  
12. [assembly:AcRtm.CommandClass(typeof(TableStyleLaboratory.Class1))]
13.  
14. namespace TableStyleLaboratory
15. {
16.     public class Class1
17.     {
18.         [AcRtm.CommandMethod("test")]
19.         public void Test()
20.         {          
21.             AcApp.Document doc = acad.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
22.             AcDb.Database db = doc.Database;
23.             AcEd.Editor ed = doc.Editor;
24.            
25.             //Beforehand I changed "Data" cell style of "Standard" Table Style manually
26.             //and assigned them the formats, which are interesting for me.
27.             String tableStyleName = "Standard";            
28.  
29.             using (AcDb.Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
30.             {
31.                 AcDb.DBDictionary tableStylesDictionary = tr.GetObject(db.TableStyleDictionaryId,
32.                     AcDb.OpenMode.ForRead) as AcDb.DBDictionary;
33.                 if (!tableStylesDictionary.Contains(tableStyleName))
34.                 {
35.                     ed.WriteMessage("Table Style '{0}' not exists in this drawing", tableStyleName);
36.                     return;
37.                 }
38.                 AcDb.ObjectId tableStyleId = (AcDb.ObjectId) tableStylesDictionary[tableStyleName];
39.  
40.                 if (tableStyleId.IsNull || !tableStyleId.IsValid)
41.                 {
42.                     String result = tableStyleId.IsNull ? "tableStyleId is null." : "tableStyleId is invalid.";
43.                     ed.WriteMessage(result);
44.                     return;
45.                 }
46.  
47.                 AcDb.TableStyle tableStyle = tr.GetObject(tableStyleId, AcDb.OpenMode.ForRead) as AcDb.TableStyle;
48.                 String format = tableStyle.Format(AcDb.RowType.DataRow);
49.                 ed.WriteMessage(format);
50.                 tr.Commit();
51.             }
52.         }
53.     }
54. }
55.  

I get such results:

1. Data type: Angle, Format: Decimal degrees, Precission: 0.000:   %au0%pr3
2. Data type: Decimal Number, Format: Decimal, Precission: 0.00:   %lu2%pr2
3. Data type: Percentage, Precission: 0.000, Append symbol: checked:   %lu2%pr3%ps[,%]
4. Data type: Point, Format: Decimal, Precission: 0.00, List separator: ','(Comma), X: checked, Y: checked, Z: unchecked:   %lu2%pt3%pr2
5. Data type: Text, Format: Uppercase:   ঱
6. Data type: Text, Format: First capital:   ঱

I can't understand this the formats, but I can use it now.

Now about my question number 1.1.2.:

Code - C#: [Select]

1. //it is working fine (I see it in the "Modify Table Style" window, at "Ganeral" tab).
2. tableStyle.SetMargin(AcDb.CellMargins.Left, 3, "_Data");                
3. tableStyle.SetMargin(AcDb.CellMargins.Top, 4, "_Data");
4.  
5. //I do not see how it is working. Can be superfluous settings are this?
6. tableStyle.SetMargin(AcDb.CellMargins.Right, 15, "_Data");              
7. tableStyle.SetMargin(AcDb.CellMargins.Bottom, 20, "_Data");
8.  

Now about my question number 1.2.:

Code - C#: [Select]

1. String lineTypeName = "ACAD_ISO03W100";
2. AcDb.LinetypeTable linetypeTable = tr.GetObject(db.LinetypeTableId, AcDb.OpenMode.ForRead) as AcDb.LinetypeTable;
3. if (!linetypeTable.Has(lineTypeName))
4. {
5.     ed.WriteMessage("Line type '{0}' not found.", lineTypeName);
6.     return;
7. }
8.  
9. //it is working fine (I see it in the "Modify Table Style" window, at "Borders" tab).
10. AcDb.ObjectId linetypeId = linetypeTable[lineTypeName];
11. tableStyle.SetGridLinetype(linetypeId, AcDb.GridLineType.AllGridLines, "_Data");
12.  
13. //The next code rows set the "Double Line" option as checked.
14. //I see it in the "Modify Table Style" window, at "Borders" tab.
15. tableStyle.SetGridLineStyle(AcDb.GridLineStyle.Double, AcDb.GridLineType.AllGridLines, "_Data");
16.  

I couldn't find the response to the question number 2.
The question number 3 too isn't solved.
