How do I specify that a row in the table is a Header or Title or Data?

Issue

Can I set an arbitrary row in a table as a Header? Or Title?

Solution

Yes, it can be done.

The type of a row can be set using the CellRange.Style property.

The CellRange for a row can be obtained with this call: Table.Cells[ rowNumber, -1 ].

There are predefined styles for title, header and data cells, called "_TITLE", "_HEADER", "_DATA".

Here is a code sample:

[CommandMethod("_STRS")]        public static void setTableRowStyle()        {          Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;          Editor ed = doc.Editor;          try          {            PromptEntityOptions opts1 =              new PromptEntityOptions("nSelect a Table: ");            opts1.SetRejectMessage("This is not a Table.");            opts1.AddAllowedClass(typeof(Table), false);            opts1.AllowNone = false;            PromptEntityResult res1 = ed.GetEntity(opts1);            if (res1.Status != PromptStatus.OK)              return;                 using (Transaction tr =                                doc.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())            {              Table tb =                  tr.GetObject(res1.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite) as Table;                   const int ROW_TO_SET_HEADER = 3, ROW_TO_SET_TITLE = 4,                         ROW_TO_SET_DATA = 1;              tb.Cells[ROW_TO_SET_HEADER, -1].Style = "_HEADER";              tb.Cells[ROW_TO_SET_TITLE,  -1].Style = "_TITLE";              tb.Cells[ROW_TO_SET_DATA,   -1].Style = "_DATA";                   tr.Commit();            }          }          catch (System.Exception e)          {            ed.WriteMessage("nERROR: " + e.ToString());          }        } // End of setTableRowStyle()
