Aspose::Words::Layout::LayoutEntityType enum

LayoutEntityType enum

Types of the layout entities.

enum class LayoutEntityType

Values

Name	Value	Description
None	n/a	Default value.
Page	n/a	Represents page of a document. Page may have Column, HeaderFooter and Comment child entities.
Column	n/a	Represents a column of text on a page. Column may have the same child entities as Cell, plus Footnote, Endnote and NoteSeparator entities.
Row	n/a	Represents a table row. Row may have Cell as child entities.
Cell	n/a	Represents a table cell. Cell may have Line and Row child entities.
Line	n/a	Represents line of characters of text and inline objects. Line may have Span child entities.
Span	n/a	Represents one or more characters in a line. This include special characters like field start/end markers, bookmarks and comments. Span may not have child entities.
Footnote	n/a	Represents placeholder for footnote content. Footnote may have Note child entities.
Endnote	n/a	Represents placeholder for endnote content. Endnote may have Note child entities.
Note	n/a	Represents placeholder for note content. Note may have Line and Row child entities.
HeaderFooter	n/a	Represents placeholder for header/footer content on a page. HeaderFooter may have Line and Row child entities.
TextBox	n/a	Represents text area inside of a shape. Textbox may have Line and Row child entities.
Comment	n/a	Represents placeholder for comment content. Comment may have Line and Row child entities.
NoteSeparator	n/a	Represents footnote/endnote separator. NoteSeparator may have Line and Row child entities.

Examples

Shows ways of traversing a document’s layout entities.
