Numbering - Continue Numbering

Hi,

I am trying to implement a "Continue Numbering" function as you get with Word's outline/numbering. So for example, if you have the following:

1 Para 1
2 Para 2
3 Para 3

Some arbitrary text

1 2nd para 1
2 2nd Para 2

By clicking on the continue numbering function, I could make the number for 2nd para 1 be number 4 instead of number 1.

The only way I could find of implementing this was by querying the previous paragraphs before 2nd para 1. My code is as follows:

Zitat

var par:TParagraph;
ns1, ns2, nl, nl1, nl2, num:integer;
ts:TWPTextStyle;
p: TWPRTFNumberingStyle;
skip:boolean;
begin
wpRichText1.ActiveParagraph.AGet(WPAT_NumberStyle, ns1);
wpRichText1.ActiveParagraph.AGet(WPAT_NumberLevel, nl1);
par:=wpRichText1.ActiveParagraph.PrevPar;
while par<>Nil do
begin
if par.IsNumbered then
begin
par.AGet(WPAT_NumberStyle, ns2);
par.AGet(WPAT_NumberLevel, nl2);
p:=par.RTFProps.NumberStyles.FindParNumberStyle(par, nl, skip);
ts:=p.TextStyle;
ts.AGet(WPAT_NumberText, num);
if (ns2=ns1) and (nl2=nl1) then
begin
wpRichText1.ActiveParagraph.ASet(WPAT_NumberStart, num+1);
wpRichText1.DelayedReformat;
exit;
end;
end;
par:=par.PrevPar;
end;
end;

Alles anzeigen

The function is failing at ts.AGet(WPAT_NumberText, num).

Questions are:

1 In principle, am I going about this the right way and
2 How should I be getting the number of the last outline as the AGet function is not working.

Thanks,

Mark

Will do. Thanks. Not sure how I missed that one!

Hi Julian,

My restart and continue functions now appear to work reasonably well, but there is one issue I am not sure how to overcome.

If I put a couple of non-numbered paragraphs between numbered paragraphs and then make the last para a numbered para, my continue numbering works but updating the previous list does not update the later list.

Eg

1 Para 1
2 Para 2
3 Para 3

Blah...
Blah...

1 Para 4

My continue numbering function will correctly update para 4 so that it is numbered 4. However, there is no connection between the first list and the second list so that if I add a new para to the first list so that its last numbered para becomes 4, the second list's numbering does not advance. Obviously because wpTools is treating it as a separate list. Is there some property that can be set so that the second list becomes a continuation of the first list?

Regards

Mark

Hi Julian, Any chance you could have a look at this one please.

Thanks Julian
