get page number in splitted table

Post by ccr »

hello,
i have a table split accross several pages. i need to find out when a table row is part of the next page.
i use the following code

Code: Select all

function GetRowPage(poTable: TRVTableItemInfo; const pnRow,pnColumn: Integer): Integer;
var
    oRvCellData: TRVTableCellData;
begin
    // FActiveScaleRichView: TSRichViewEdit
    oRvCellData := poTable.Cells[pnRow, pnColumn];
    result := FActiveScaleRichView.GetPageNo(TCustomRVFormattedData(oRvCellData.GetRVData), 0, 0);
end;
this works fine apart from the last table row on a page which returns the next page number.
what am i missing?

I cannot reproduce this problem (in the newest version of ScaleRichView).
Can you send me a sample document where it happens?

hello,
thank you for the quick reply. i am on version 6.0.2. if this is fixed in newer version it might be a good reason to upgrade :)

hello,
i have to come back for this since even after the upgrade the problem exists. i attached the output.
my scenario is like this: user designs report with header and footer and tables with database-fields (Report Workshop wasn't available at that time) in a tdbsrichviewedit which is . when executing it the bound tdbsrichviewedit is loaded into an unbound tsrichviewedit, copying header and footer first, finally the main-body, alway replacing the database-fields.
this is done before the form is shown (maybe this plays a role ?).
the essential part is the determination of the page number. the algorith seems to be straight forward:
if the cell value or the cell page differs from the previous row then merge all equal values until the previous row.
maybe i miss something obvious:

Code: Select all

procedure TTEXTEditor.MergeColumnCellsWithSameText(poTable: TRVTableItemInfo; pnColumn: Integer);
var
  nRow: Integer;
  nMergeRow: Integer;
  bLastRow: Boolean;
  bMergeNow: Boolean;
  bSamePage: Boolean;
  cPrevRowText: string;
  cThisRowText: string;
  nMergeRowCount: Integer;
  nMergeStartRow: Integer;
  nThisCellPage: Integer;
  nPrevCellPage: Integer;
  oCell: TRVTableCellData;
  oCellRvData: TCustomRvData;
  function GetRowPage(const poCell: TRVTableCellData): Integer;
  begin
    result := FActiveScaleRichView.GetPageNo(TCustomRVFormattedData(poCell.GetRVData), 0, poCell.GetVOffs);
  end;
begin
  // initialize
  cPrevRowText := '';
  nMergeRowCount := 0;
  nPrevCellPage := GetRowPage(poTable.Cells[0, pnColumn]);

  for nRow := 1 to poTable.RowCount - 1 do
    begin
    oCell := poTable.Cells[nRow, pnColumn];
    oCellRvData := oCell.GetRvData;
    nThisCellPage := GetRowPage(oCell);
    if oCellRvData.ItemCount > 0 then
      begin
      cThisRowText :=  oCellRvData.GetItemText(oCellRvData.ItemCount - 1);
      bSamePage := nPrevCellPage = nThisCellPage;
      bLastRow := nRow = poTable.RowCount - 1;
      bMergeNow := bLastRow or not bSamePage or not THMG_Utils.Text.Same(cPrevRowText, cThisRowText);
      if not bMergeNow then
        begin
        Inc(nMergeRowCount);
        OutputDebugString(PChar(Format('Row %d %s Merge-Count %d Page %d', [nRow, cThisRowText, nMergeRowCount, nThisCellPage])));
        end
      else
        begin
        nMergeStartRow := nRow - nMergeRowCount - 1;
        for nMergeRow := nMergeStartRow to nMergeStartRow + nMergeRowCount + IfThen(bLastRow, 1) do
          begin
          // remove lower border
          poTable.SetCellVisibleBorders(oCell.VisibleBorders.Left, (nMergeRow = nMergeStartRow) and oCell.VisibleBorders.Top,
            oCell.VisibleBorders.Right, {Bottom:} False, nMergeRow, pnColumn);
          // remain first cell
          if nMergeRow > nMergeStartRow then
            begin
            poTable.Cells[nMergeRow, pnColumn].Clear;
            end;
          end;
        OutputDebugString(PChar(Format('Row %d %s Merge-Count %d Page %d Merge-Start %d', [nRow, cThisRowText, nMergeRowCount, nThisCellPage, nMergeStartRow])));
        nMergeRowCount := 0;
        end;
      cPrevRowText := cThisRowText;
      nPrevCellPage := nThisCellPage;
      end
    end

end;
you can compare the attached rvf with the outputdebugstring-messages following - there is a mismatch for the last rows of the splitted table
