paragraph inside a textinset

Hi Klaus,

It depends on what I am trying to do. Most of the time, I want paragraphs that aren't in a text inset, so I use a function like this to collect paragraphs that aren't in text insets:

// Get paragraphs not in text insets code. -----------------------------------
FCFB.getParagraphs = function (doc) {
    
    var pgfs = [], textList, i, count, inInset = 0, tbl;
    
    textList = doc.MainFlowInDoc.GetText (Constants.FTI_TblAnchor | Constants.FTI_PgfBegin | Constants.FTI_TextInsetBegin | Constants.FTI_TextInsetEnd);
    count = textList.length;
    for (i = 0; i < count; i += 1) {
        if (textList.dataType === Constants.FTI_TextInsetBegin) {
            inInset = 1;
        }
        else if (textList.dataType === Constants.FTI_TextInsetEnd) {
            inInset = 0;
        }
        else if (textList.dataType === Constants.FTI_PgfBegin) {
            if (inInset === 0) {
                pgfs.push (textList.obj);
            }
        }
        else if (textList.dataType === Constants.FTI_TblAnchor) {
            if (inInset === 0) {
                tbl = textList.obj;
                FCFB.getTblPgfs (tbl, pgfs);
            }
        }
    }
    // Get the master and reference pages paragraphs.
    FCFB.getMasterPagePgfs (doc, pgfs);
    FCFB.getRefPagePgfs (doc, pgfs);
    
    // Get any paragraphs inside of anchored frames.
    FCFB.getAFramePgfs (doc, pgfs);
    
    // Get any paragraphs inside of footnotes.
    FCFB.getFnPgfs (doc, pgfs);
    
    // Get any paragraphs inside of non-flow text frames on body pages.
    FCFB.getBodyPageTextFramePgfs (doc, pgfs);
    return pgfs;
};

As you can see, I have some other functions I call to make sure I have ALL of the non-text inset paragraphs. But it depends on the task.

Hi Klaus,

I don't know a direct method, but I think you could iterate through the paragraphs in the inset to find out. Something like (untested, incomplete):

var pgfIsInTheInset = false;

var pgf = /* some code to get the pgf in question */;

var textInset = /* some code to get the TiText (inset) object */;

var tempPgf = textInset.TextRange.beg.obj;

while(tempPgf.ObjectValid() && !pgfIsInTheInset)

{

  if(tempPgf.id == pgf.id) pgfIsInTheInset = true;

  tempPgf = tempPgf.NextPgfInFlow;

}

/* evaluate pgfIsInTheInset now */

Hope this helps, maybe somebody knows a simpler method.
