TDrawingRichString Record

A rich string used in drawings. It is similar to TRichString but it has more properties like for example wordart properties. Similar to a string, this class is immutable.

Syntax

Unit: FlexCel.Core

TDrawingRichString = record;

Methods

Name	Description
Create	Overloaded Create Create(string) Create(TDrawingTextParagraphArray) Create(string, TDrawingAlignment)
Paragraph	A paragraph of the text.
Substring	Overloaded Substring(Integer) Substring(Integer, Integer)
Add	Adds two richstrings together. If using C#, you can just use the overloaded "+" operator to contactenate rich strings.
Trim	Trims all the whitespace at the beginning and end of the string.
RightTrim	Trims all the whitespace at the end of the string.
ToString	Returns the string without Rich text info.
HasFields	Returns true if the TDrawingRichString has any fields that must be replaced by values.
ToRichString	Overloaded ToRichString(TCoreExcelFile, IShapeFont) ToRichString(TCoreExcelFile, IShapeFont, TFlxFont) ToRichString(TCoreExcelFile, IShapeFont, TFlxFont, TFunc<string, TRichString>)
FirstRun	Returns the first run of the text. Note that an empty TDrawingRichText can have a run anyway, while a TRichString can't. If there is no first run, the returned value will have a a negative FirstChar.
FromRichString	Overloaded FromRichString(TRichString, TCoreExcelFile, TDrawingAlignment) FromRichString(TRichString, TCoreExcelFile, TDrawingRichString, TDrawingAlignment) FromRichString(TRichString, TCoreExcelFile, TDrawingRichString, TDrawingAlignment, Boolean)
ReplaceText	Replaces the existing text in this struct with the text in rs, keeping the properties of the text.
GetTextProperties	Modifies a TDrawingText​Properties by adding the settings from a TFxFont.
CompareTo	Returns -1 if obj is bigger than this, 0 if both strings are the same, and 1 if obj is smaller than this.
GetHashCode	Returns the hashcode of the object.
Equals	Returns true if both instances have the same string and formatting.
DrawingHAlign​From​Align	Converts an horizontal alignment from Excel alignment to Drawing alignment.
ReplaceParagraph	Returns a new rich string with one paragraph of the original rich string replaced.
WithNewFieldIds	Returns a new TDrawingRichString with new field ids if the DrawingRichString has field ids. While FlexCel will do this automatically when you link a shape, you can use this method when creating a new linked shape that requires new field ids.
IsNull	Returns true if the record doesn't have a defined value.
HasValue	Returns true if the record has a defined value. This is the inverse of IsNull

Operators

Name	Description
Equality	Adapts the = operator so it returns true when both instances have the same values.
Inequality	Adapts the <> operator so it returns true when both instances have different values.
Addition	Adapts the + operator so it can add two instances of this record.
Implicit Conversion	Overloaded Implicit conversion from string to TDrawingRichString Implicit conversion from TDrawingRichString to string
LessThan	Adapts the < operator so it returns true when the first parameter is smaller than the second.
GreaterThan	Adapts the > operator so it returns true when the first parameter is bigger than the second.

Properties

Name	Description
Value	Text of the string without formatting. Might be null.
ParagraphCount	The count of Paragraphs in this string.
Length	Length of the DrawingRichString.
IsEmpty	Returns true if the string has no data.
