Inline

Inline class

Base class for inline-level nodes that can have character formatting associated with them, but cannot have child nodes of their own.

public abstract class Inline : Node

Properties

Name	Description
CustomNodeId { get; set; }	Specifies custom node identifier.
virtual Document { get; }	Gets the document to which this node belongs.
Font { get; }	Provides access to the font formatting of this object.
virtual IsComposite { get; }	Returns `true` if this node can contain other nodes.
IsDeleteRevision { get; }	Returns true if this object was deleted in Microsoft Word while change tracking was enabled.
IsFormatRevision { get; }	Returns true if formatting of the object was changed in Microsoft Word while change tracking was enabled.
IsInsertRevision { get; }	Returns true if this object was inserted in Microsoft Word while change tracking was enabled.
IsMoveFromRevision { get; }	Returns `true` if this object was moved (deleted) in Microsoft Word while change tracking was enabled.
IsMoveToRevision { get; }	Returns `true` if this object was moved (inserted) in Microsoft Word while change tracking was enabled.
NextSibling { get; }	Gets the node immediately following this node.
abstract NodeType { get; }	Gets the type of this node.
ParentNode { get; }	Gets the immediate parent of this node.
ParentParagraph { get; }	Retrieves the parent `Paragraph` of this node.
PreviousSibling { get; }	Gets the node immediately preceding this node.
Range { get; }	Returns a `Range` object that represents the portion of a document that is contained in this node.

Methods

Name	Description
abstract Accept(DocumentVisitor)	Accepts a visitor.
Clone(bool)	Creates a duplicate of the node.
GetAncestor(NodeType)	Gets the first ancestor of the specified `NodeType`.
GetAncestor(Type)	Gets the first ancestor of the specified object type.
virtual GetText()	Gets the text of this node and of all its children.
NextPreOrder(Node)	Gets next node according to the pre-order tree traversal algorithm.
PreviousPreOrder(Node)	Gets the previous node according to the pre-order tree traversal algorithm.
Remove()	Removes itself from the parent.
ToString(SaveFormat)	Exports the content of the node into a string in the specified format.
ToString(SaveOptions)	Exports the content of the node into a string using the specified save options.

Remarks

A class derived from Inline can be a child of Paragraph.

Examples

Shows how to determine the revision type of an inline node.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Revision runs.docx");

// When we edit the document while the "Track Changes" option, found in via Review -> Tracking,
// is turned on in Microsoft Word, the changes we apply count as revisions.
// When editing a document using Aspose.Words, we can begin tracking revisions by
// invoking the document's "StartTrackRevisions" method and stop tracking by using the "StopTrackRevisions" method.
// We can either accept revisions to assimilate them into the document
// or reject them to change the proposed change effectively.
Assert.AreEqual(6, doc.Revisions.Count);

// The parent node of a revision is the run that the revision concerns. A Run is an Inline node.
Run run = (Run)doc.Revisions[0].ParentNode;

Paragraph firstParagraph = run.ParentParagraph;
RunCollection runs = firstParagraph.Runs;

Assert.AreEqual(6, runs.ToArray().Length);

// Below are five types of revisions that can flag an Inline node.
// 1 -  An "insert" revision:
// This revision occurs when we insert text while tracking changes.
Assert.IsTrue(runs[2].IsInsertRevision);

// 2 -  A "format" revision:
// This revision occurs when we change the formatting of text while tracking changes.
Assert.IsTrue(runs[2].IsFormatRevision);

// 3 -  A "move from" revision:
// When we highlight text in Microsoft Word, and then drag it to a different place in the document
// while tracking changes, two revisions appear.
// The "move from" revision is a copy of the text originally before we moved it.
Assert.IsTrue(runs[4].IsMoveFromRevision);

// 4 -  A "move to" revision:
// The "move to" revision is the text that we moved in its new position in the document.
// "Move from" and "move to" revisions appear in pairs for every move revision we carry out.
// Accepting a move revision deletes the "move from" revision and its text,
// and keeps the text from the "move to" revision.
// Rejecting a move revision conversely keeps the "move from" revision and deletes the "move to" revision.
Assert.IsTrue(runs[1].IsMoveToRevision);

// 5 -  A "delete" revision:
// This revision occurs when we delete text while tracking changes. When we delete text like this,
// it will stay in the document as a revision until we either accept the revision,
// which will delete the text for good, or reject the revision, which will keep the text we deleted where it was.
Assert.IsTrue(runs[5].IsDeleteRevision);
