I just committed my work on tables to the repository. I committed it to a new branch called tables. There’s still work to be done before it can be merged with develop. Here’s a summary of the status:
1) There are NO unit tests. I have not run any existing test nor have I created any new tests. I have zero experience with tests. I’ll be happy to do some work on this, but I will need direction. 2) Markup will probably not work. All my testing with the code has been creating elements directly. 3) There are no Operations that currently work correctly with tables, so Undo with tables is a no-no. 4) I have made changes to SelectionManager, and there’s now a concept of nested TextFlows and nested SelectionManagers/EditManagers. Text in table cells are nested TextFlows rather than children of the main TextFlow. 5) ParagraphElements can now contain more than a single TextBlock. Substantial work has been done to support this. A quick summery of what features are supported: 1) While it’s possible to specify header and footer cells, they are ineffectual. 2) Cells spanning columns work, but ones spanning rows do not. 3) Multiple cells can be selected, but the must be contiguous ranges. 4) It’s possible to get the selection of cells from the parent EditManager. 5) All basic cell formatting is supported (strokes, fills, inset, etc.) 6) No stroke/fil patterns are supported. If you need alternating fills for example, they must be specified directly. 7) Fixed height and expanding height cells are supported. All cells must have a fixed width. That’s more or less what comes to mind right now. I will be committing any fixes to the tables branch from now on. I’ll try to document as much as I can somewhere… ;-) Harbs
