Aspose::Words::Font::get_Hidden method

Font::get_Hidden method

True if the font is formatted as hidden text.

bool Aspose::Words::Font::get_Hidden()

Examples

Shows how to create a run of hidden text.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);

// With the Hidden flag set to true, any text that we create using this Font object will be invisible in the document.
// We will not see or highlight hidden text unless we enable the "Hidden text" option
// found in Microsoft Word via "File" -> "Options" -> "Display". The text will still be there,
// and we will be able to access this text programmatically.
// It is not advised to use this method to hide sensitive information.
builder->get_Font()->set_Hidden(true);
builder->get_Font()->set_Size(36);

builder->Writeln(u"This text will not be visible in the document.");

doc->Save(ArtifactsDir + u"Font.Hidden.docx");

Shows how to use a DocumentVisitor implementation to remove all hidden content from a document.

void RemoveHiddenContentFromDocument()
{
    auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(MyDir + u"Hidden content.docx");

    auto hiddenContentRemover = MakeObject<ExFont::RemoveHiddenContentVisitor>();

    // Below are three types of fields which can accept a document visitor,
    // which will allow it to visit the accepting node, and then traverse its child nodes in a depth-first manner.
    // 1 -  Paragraph node:
    auto para = System::ExplicitCast<Paragraph>(doc->GetChild(NodeType::Paragraph, 4, true));
    para->Accept(hiddenContentRemover);

    // 2 -  Table node:
    SharedPtr<Table> table = doc->get_FirstSection()->get_Body()->get_Tables()->idx_get(0);
    table->Accept(hiddenContentRemover);

    // 3 -  Document node:
    doc->Accept(hiddenContentRemover);
