CParaFormat Class Reference

class CParaFormat : public CBase

A transient container of paragraph format attributes, including tab stops, bullet points and paragraph borders.

Rich and global text objects store paragraph formatting using paragraph format layers (see class CParaFormatLayer ). The CParaFormat class is used to store the relevant attribute values when setting or sensing a CParaFormatLayer . It is normally used in combination with a TParaFormatMask , to specify which attributes are relevant to the function concerned.

On construction, all CParaFormat member data is initialised. The attributes which are not explicitly set are assigned default values.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CParaFormat(const CParaFormat &)

CParaFormat

(

const CParaFormat &

aFormat

)

[private]

Parameters

const CParaFormat & aFormat

~CParaFormat()

IMPORT_C

~CParaFormat

(

)

The destructor frees all resources owned by the paragraph format container (tabs, borders and bullets), prior to its destruction.

Note that Strip() also sets the resource pointers to NULL. This is important in case CParaFormat is on the stack and gets deleted twice: once by the cleanup stack and once by exceptions being unwound.

Member Functions Documentation

BordersPresent()

TBool

BordersPresent

(

)

const [inline]

Tests whether any paragraph borders have been set.

CopyL(const CParaFormat &, const TParaFormatMask &)

IMPORT_C void	CopyL	(	const CParaFormat &	aFormat,
			const TParaFormatMask &	aMask
		)

Parameters

const CParaFormat & aFormat
const TParaFormatMask & aMask

[private]

IsBorderEqual(TParaBorderSide, const CParaFormat &)

IMPORT_C TBool	IsBorderEqual	(	TParaBorderSide	aSide,
			const CParaFormat &	aFormat
		)	const

Tests whether the paragraph border located on the specified side is the same as the border on the corresponding side in this object. For two borders to be equal, they must both either be set or unset, and if set, they must have the same characteristics.

Parameters

TParaBorderSide aSide	Indicates which side should be compared.
const CParaFormat & aFormat	Contains the paragraph border to compare.

IsEqual(const CParaFormat &, const TParaFormatMask &)

IMPORT_C TBool	IsEqual	(	const CParaFormat &	aFormat,
			const TParaFormatMask &	aMask
		)	const

Parameters

const CParaFormat & aFormat
const TParaFormatMask & aMask

NewL()

IMPORT_C CParaFormat *

NewL

(

)

[static]

Allocates and constructs a CParaFormat object. All attributes are initialised with default values.

NewL(const CParaFormat &)

IMPORT_C CParaFormat *

NewL

(

const CParaFormat &

aFormat

)

[static]

Parameters

const CParaFormat & aFormat

NewLC()

IMPORT_C CParaFormat *

NewLC

(

)

[static]

Allocates and constructs a CParaFormat object. All attributes are initialised with default values. Leaves the object on the cleanup stack.

ParaBorder(TParaBorderSide)

IMPORT_C const TParaBorder

ParaBorder

(

TParaBorderSide

aSide

)

const

Parameters

TParaBorderSide aSide

ParaBorderPtr(TParaBorderSide)

TParaBorder *

ParaBorderPtr

(

TParaBorderSide

aSide

)

[inline]

Gets a pointer to the paragraph border on the side specified. If no paragraph border array has been allocated, returns NULL.

Parameters

TParaBorderSide aSide

The side for the paragraph border.

RemoveAllBorders()

IMPORT_C void

(

)

SetParaBorderL(TParaBorderSide, const TParaBorder &)

IMPORT_C void	SetParaBorderL	(	TParaBorderSide	aSide,
			const TParaBorder &	aBorder
		)

Sets one side of the object's paragraph border. If a border on the specified side already exists, it is replaced.

Note: Setting a single side of the object's paragraph border incurs the overhead of allocating storage for the three other sides, which are assigned default values.

Parameters

TParaBorderSide aSide	The side for the paragraph border.
const TParaBorder & aBorder	Specification for the paragraph border.

StoreTabL(const TTabStop &)

IMPORT_C void

StoreTabL

(

const TTabStop &

aTabStop

)

Adds a tab stop to the list of tab stops, maintaining the ordering of the list, (ascending order of twips position). Multiple tabs with the same twips position are not allowed, so that if aTabStop shares the same twips position as an existing tab stop, regardless of its alignment, the existing tab stop is replaced by aTabStop.

Parameters

const TTabStop & aTabStop

The tab stop to be stored.

Strip()

IMPORT_C void

Strip

(

)

Deletes all paragraph borders, bullets and tab stops. No other attributes are affected.

TabCount()

TInt

TabCount

(

)

const [inline]

TabStop(TInt)

IMPORT_C const TTabStop

TabStop

(

TInt

aTabIndex

)

const

Gets the tab stop located at the specified index within the tab list (counting from zero). Tab stops are ordered in ascending order of twips position. If the object has no tab list, then a default tab stop is returned.

Parameters

TInt aTabIndex

The offset of the tab stop in the tab list. Must be less than the total number of tab stops, or a panic occurs. To find the total number of tab stops, use TabCount().

operator=(const CParaFormat &)

CParaFormat &

operator=

(

const CParaFormat &

aParaFormat

)

[private]

Parameters

const CParaFormat & aParaFormat
