Adding formatted text into Table question

[Kal]

I have 50 text files which I put into FusionPro as Formatted Text resources. Now I created a rule called "VarText" that will pull in the text based on the data. I want to put this "Rule" into a table, how do I go about it?

 

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Content = "VarFormatted text here";

 

 

new FPTable;

var myTable = new FPTable;

myTable.AddColumns(29600);

myTable.AddRows(1);

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Font="Times New Roman";

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].TextColor="Red";

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].SetBorders("Thick", "Green", "Right");

myTable.Rows[0].CopyCells(0);

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Content = "VarFormatted text here";

return myTable.MakeTags();

Would this work?

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Content = Rule("VarText");

I had tried that and it didn't pull in the "Formatted Text" from the resource files when it's in the table but if I call the RULE outside the table it works fine... ??????????

What does the Rule "VarText" look like? If it's returning a resource, you'll need to call the .content property.

Rule snapshot attached.

new FPTable;

var myTable = new FPTable;

myTable.AddColumns(29600);

myTable.AddRows(1);

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Font="Times New Roman";

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].TextColor="Red";

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].SetBorders("Thick", "Green", "Right");

myTable.Rows[0].CopyCells(0);

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Content = Rule("ParaPull_RULE");

return myTable.MakeTags();

Change the next-to-last line to this:

myTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Content = Rule("ParaPull_RULE").content;

That was the missing link... it's working now.

Thanks Dan.
