Aspose::Words::DocumentVisitor::VisitHeaderFooterStart method

DocumentVisitor::VisitHeaderFooterStart method

Called when enumeration of a header or footer in a section has started.

virtual Aspose::Words::VisitorAction Aspose::Words::DocumentVisitor::VisitHeaderFooterStart(System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Words::HeaderFooter> headerFooter)
ParameterTypeDescription
headerFooterSystem::SharedPtr<Aspose::Words::HeaderFooter>The object that is being visited.

ReturnValue

A VisitorAction value that specifies how to continue the enumeration.

Examples

Shows how to print the node structure of every header and footer in a document.

void HeaderFooterToText()
{
    auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(MyDir + u"DocumentVisitor-compatible features.docx");
    auto visitor = MakeObject<ExDocumentVisitor::HeaderFooterStructurePrinter>();

    // When we get a composite node to accept a document visitor, the visitor visits the accepting node,
    // and then traverses all the node's children in a depth-first manner.
    // The visitor can read and modify each visited node.
    doc->Accept(visitor);

    std::cout << visitor->GetText() << std::endl;

    // An alternative way of accessing a document's header/footers section-by-section is by accessing the collection.
    ArrayPtr<SharedPtr<HeaderFooter>> headerFooters = doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters()->ToArray();
    ASSERT_EQ(3, headerFooters->get_Length());
}
