IsMultiLevel

List.IsMultiLevel property

Returns true when the list contains 9 levels; false when 1 level.

public bool IsMultiLevel { get; }

Remarks

The lists that you create with Aspose.Words are always multi-level lists and contain 9 levels.

Microsoft Word 2003 and later always create multi-level lists with 9 levels. But in some documents, created with earlier versions of Microsoft Word you might encounter lists that have 1 level only.

Examples

Shows how to create a list style and use it in a document.

Document doc = new Document();

// A list allows us to organize and decorate sets of paragraphs with prefix symbols and indents.
// We can create nested lists by increasing the indent level. 
// We can begin and end a list by using a document builder's "ListFormat" property. 
// Each paragraph that we add between a list's start and the end will become an item in the list.
// We can contain an entire List object within a style.
Style listStyle = doc.Styles.Add(StyleType.List, "MyListStyle");

List list1 = listStyle.List;

Assert.True(list1.IsListStyleDefinition);
Assert.False(list1.IsListStyleReference);
Assert.True(list1.IsMultiLevel);
Assert.AreEqual(listStyle, list1.Style);

// Change the appearance of all list levels in our list.
foreach (ListLevel level in list1.ListLevels)
{
    level.Font.Name = "Verdana";
    level.Font.Color = Color.Blue;
    level.Font.Bold = true;
}

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.Writeln("Using list style first time:");

// Create another list from a list within a style.
List list2 = doc.Lists.Add(listStyle);

Assert.False(list2.IsListStyleDefinition);
Assert.True(list2.IsListStyleReference);
Assert.AreEqual(listStyle, list2.Style);

// Add some list items that our list will format.
builder.ListFormat.List = list2;
builder.Writeln("Item 1");
builder.Writeln("Item 2");
builder.ListFormat.RemoveNumbers();

builder.Writeln("Using list style second time:");

// Create and apply another list based on the list style.
List list3 = doc.Lists.Add(listStyle);
builder.ListFormat.List = list3;
builder.Writeln("Item 1");
builder.Writeln("Item 2");
builder.ListFormat.RemoveNumbers();

builder.Document.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Lists.CreateAndUseListStyle.docx");
