Accept

GlossaryDocument.Accept method

Accepts a visitor.

public override bool Accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)
ParameterTypeDescription
visitorDocumentVisitorThe visitor that will visit the nodes.

Return Value

True if all nodes were visited; false if DocumentVisitor stopped the operation before visiting all nodes.

Remarks

Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.

For more info see the Visitor design pattern.

Calls VisitGlossaryDocumentStart, then calls Accept for all child nodes of this node and then calls VisitGlossaryDocumentEnd at the end.

Note: A glossary document node and its children are not visited when you execute a Visitor over a Document. If you want to execute a Visitor over a glossary document, you need to call Accept.

Examples

Shows ways of accessing building blocks in a glossary document.

public void GlossaryDocument()
{
    Document doc = new Document();
    GlossaryDocument glossaryDoc = new GlossaryDocument();

    BuildingBlock child1 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 1" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child1);
    BuildingBlock child2 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 2" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child2);
    BuildingBlock child3 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 3" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child3);
    BuildingBlock child4 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 4" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child4);
    BuildingBlock child5 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 5" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child5);

    Assert.AreEqual(5, glossaryDoc.BuildingBlocks.Count);

    doc.GlossaryDocument = glossaryDoc;

    // There are various ways of accessing building blocks.
    // 1 -  Get the first/last building blocks in the collection:
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 1", glossaryDoc.FirstBuildingBlock.Name);
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 5", glossaryDoc.LastBuildingBlock.Name);

    // 2 -  Get a building block by index:
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 2", glossaryDoc.BuildingBlocks[1].Name);
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 3", glossaryDoc.BuildingBlocks.ToArray()[2].Name);

    // 3 -  Get the first building block that matches a gallery, name and category:
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 4", 
        glossaryDoc.GetBuildingBlock(BuildingBlockGallery.All, "(Empty Category)", "Block 4").Name);

    // We will do that using a custom visitor,
    // which will give every BuildingBlock in the GlossaryDocument a unique GUID
    GlossaryDocVisitor visitor = new GlossaryDocVisitor();
    glossaryDoc.Accept(visitor);
    Console.WriteLine(visitor.GetText());

    // In Microsoft Word, we can access the building blocks via "Insert" -> "Quick Parts" -> "Building Blocks Organizer".
    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "BuildingBlocks.GlossaryDocument.dotx");
