I set up a table inside a table like this:

   tempTable := TRVTableItemInfo.CreateEx(2, 2, RichViewEdit.RVData);

   RichViewEdit.InsertItem('outer table', tempTable);

   tempTable2 := TRVTableItemInfo.CreateEx(2, 2, tempTable.Cells[0, 1]);

   tempTable.Cells[0, 1].AddItem('inner table', tempTable2);

and then given the currently active in-place editor, I want to find out

the name of the table being edited, the following code works for the

outer table but not the inner table:

var

   table: TRVTableItemInfo;

   document: TRVTableCellData;

   parentDocument: TCustomRVFormattedData;

   tablename: string;

begin

   document := (AEditor as TRVTableInplaceEdit).FCell as

               TRVTableCellData;

   parentDocument := document.GetAbsoluteParentData.GetSourceRVData as

                     TCustomRVFormattedData;

   table := document.GetTable;

   tableName := parentDocument.GetItemText(table.GetMyItemNo);

What happens when you try to use this code on the inner table is that

parentDocument.ItemCount is 0 and you get a index out of range error if

you try to access GetItemText(table.GetMyItemNo). But if I add text

items to parentDocument they are correctly added to the cell that

contains the inner table, so I am confused as to how it can have an

itemcount of 0.
