This example demonstrates working with the text style table object and adding, renaming, deleting, recovering, modifying, and printing of text style record objects. This example uses a console menu that represents the following operations: printing a list of accessible text styles [L], printing specific properties of all text styles contained in the table [P], exposing predefined text styles [E], creating a new text style and adding it in the table [A], renaming an existing text style [N], deleting an existing text style [D], recovering a deleted text style [R], and setting a text style to be active [S].
The ModifyTextStyles() function requires a pointer to the database object and implements a console menu for the listed operations. The function creates a loop that inquires about the operation code and uses a switch statement to select whether the case must be performed. The ModifyTextStyles() function uses the PrintTextStyleProperties() function for printing properties of the text style record object, the ModifyTextStyleProperties() function for modifying properties of the selected text style record object, and the EntryRecordName() function for entering the text style name, checking whether the name is correct, and checking whether the name exists or is absent from the table. The EntryRecordName() function returns the entered name as an OdString value when the name is correct for the specified options, or it returns an empty string when the name is incorrect or is in conflict with other names. The ModifyTextStyles() function obtains a smart pointer to the text style table object using the getTextStyleTableId() method of the passed database object. Before the loop, the function creates an iterator using the newIterator() method of the text style table object and declares a smart pointer to the text style record object. The ModifyTextStyles() function processes user actions in the loop until the user selects the [Q] operation.
When the user selects [L], the ModifyTextStyles() function prints a list of text style names accessed in the text style table. The function uses an iterator for traversing through the text style table, getRecord() method of the Iterator object for getting the pointer to each text style record object, and getName() method for displaying the name of each text style record object to which the iterator refers. When the user selects [P], the function prints the specific properties of all text style record objects contained in the text style table object, including objects marked as "erased". The function uses the iterator for traversing through the text style table and the PrintTextStyleProperties() function for displaying the specific properties of the text style record objects to which the iterator refers. When the [P] operation, the function initializes the start() method of the iterator using parameters: True – beginning with the first record to the end record of the table, or False – the record marked as unerased or erased; the function initializes the step() method of the iterator using parameters: True – traversing to the next record in the table, False – including unerased and erased records. When the [L] operation, the function initializes the arguments of the start() and step() methods using default values: True – beginning with the first record to the next record, and True – only unerased records. If a text style record object was permanently deleted, the getRecord() method returns NULL, and the function and iterator skip the record.
When the user selects [A], the ModifyTextStyles() function inquires about the name of the new text style record object using the EntryRecordName() function. The name must be absent from the text style table because the table can not contain duplicate records and the function passes the kMustAbsent value as a second argument for checking the new name. If the entered name is correct and absent from the table, the function creates a new text style record object using its static pseudo-constructor. Then, the function sets the specified name for the created text style record object using its setName() method, and adds the new text style in the text style table using the add() method of the text style table object. The function uses a try…catch statement to catch exceptions when the object is added. If the addition is successful, the function goes to the [L] operation for printing the text style list. When an exception occurs, the function displays an error message and breaks to the console menu.
When the user selects [N], the ModifyTextStyles() function inquires about the name of the existing text style record object to be renamed and inquires about the new name using the EntryRecordName() function for both names. The first name must exist in the text style table, and the function passes the kMustExist value as a second argument for checking the entered name. The second name must be absent from the text style table because the table can not contain duplicate records; the function passes the kMustAbsent value as a second argument for checking the new name. If the first entered name is correct and exists in the table, the function gets a smart pointer to the corresponding text style record object using the getAt() method of the text style table object and opens it in write mode. Then, the function sets the second name as a new name of the opened text style record object using its setName() method. The function uses the try…catch statement to catch exceptions when the object changes the name. When an exception occurs, the function displays an error message and breaks to the console menu.
When the user selects [D], the ModifyTextStyles() function inquires about the name of the existing text style record object to be deleted using the EntryRecordName() function. The name must exist in the text style table; the function passes the kMustExist value as a second argument for checking the entered name. If the entered name is correct and exists in the table, the ModifyTextStyles() function gets a smart pointer to the corresponding text style record object using the getAt() method of the text style table object and opens it in write mode. The function passes a False value as the third argument of the getAt() method that identifies the unerased record of the table. If the getAt() method returns a pointer to the specified text style record object, the function calls the erase() method of the text style record object and passes to it a True value as an argument. The erase(true) method marks the text style record object as "erased" and keeps it in the table if and only if the database is using an undo operation, otherwise the object is deleted permanently. After deleting, the function checks the result returned by the erase() method. If the result is zero, the deleting is successful, and the function breaks to the the console menu. If the result is non-zero, the function displays an error message using the getErrorDescription() method of the host object.
When the user selects [R], the ModifyTextStyles() function inquires about the name of the deleted text style record object to be recovered using the EntryRecordName() function. The inquired name must be absent from the text style table because the deleted record is not accessible in the table; the function passes the kMustAbsent value as a second argument for checking the entered name. If the entered name is correct and is absent from the table, the ModifyTextStyles() function tries to get a smart pointer to the corresponding text style record object using the getAt() method of the text style table object and tries to open it in write mode, but the function also passes a True value as a third argument of the getAt() method to identify the erased record of the table. If the getAt() method returns NULL, the text style record object was deleted permanently and recovery is impossible. In this case, the function displays an error message and breaks to the console menu. If the getAt() method returns a pointer to the deleted text style record object, the function calls the erase() method of the text style record object and passes to it a False value as an argument. The erase(false) method marks the text style record object as "unerased" and the record becomes accessible in the table. After recovery, the function checks the result returned by the erase() method. If the result is zero, the recovery was successful, and the function breaks to the the console menu. If the result is non-zero, the function displays an error message using the getErrorDescription() method of the host object.
When the user selects [M], the ModifyTextStyles() function inquires about the name of the existing text style record object to be modified using the EntryRecordName() function. The name must exists in the text style's table, and the function passes the kMustExist value as second argument for checking of the entered name. If the entered name is correct and exists in the table, the ModifyTextStyles() function gets the smart pointer to the existing text style record object specified by the inquired name using the getAt() method of the text style table object and opens it in the write mode. Then, the function calls the ModifyTextStyleProperties() function that organizes own console menu for modifying of the specific properties of the specified text style record object.
When the user selects [S], the ModifyTextStyles() function inquires about the name of the existing text style record object which should be active using the EntryRecordName() function. The name must exist in the text style table; the function passes the kMustExist value as a second argument for checking the entered name. If the entered name is correct and exists in the table, the ModifyTextStyles() function gets the Object ID of the text style record object using the getAt() method and passes the Object ID as an argument of the setTEXTSTYLE() method of the database object. The setTEXTSTYLE() method makes the specified text style active.
When the user selects [E], the ModifyTextStyles() function displays predefined text styles using the getTEXTSTYLE() and getTextStyleStandardId() methods of the database object. The getTEXTSTYLE() method returns the Object ID of the current active text style. The getTextStyleStandardId() method returns the Object ID of the standard text style.
When the user selects [Q], the function ends the loop and returns to the calling function.
