How to get the GridAddress of a given character position?

Question

Hi,My starting point is that i know the startposition of a character in a ITextModel. So, i can test if the given position refers to an object in a table or in a regular textframe:InterfacePtr tableModel(Utils()->GetTableModel(txtModel, startPos + 1), UseDefaultIID());if(!tableModel){ //Do things in a textframe (i'm not assuming this is text on a textpath, for simplicity)} else { //Do things on the containing table}I'm stuck on the "Do things on the containing table part". I want the containing cell of the text (the gridaddress, i assume?).Anyone any ideas?Thanks in advance!Bart Devos.

Bart--To find the table cell of the insertion point, you could use something like:InterfacePtr storythreadp(txtModel->QueryStoryThread(startPos + 1));InterfacePtr cellcontentp(storythreadp, UseDefaultIID());if (! cellcontentp) { // Not a table cell, so see if it's the primary thread (kTextStoryBoss/ITextModel). InterfacePtr threadmodelp(storythreadp, UseDefaultIID()); if (threadmodelp) { // It's the primary thread... } else { // It's something else with an ITextStoryThread (note, footnote, etc.). }}else { // The insertion point's in a table cell (kTextCellContentBoss). InterfacePtr tableModel(cellcontentp->GetTableModel(), UseDefaultIID()); GridID gridID(cellcontentp->GetGridID()); GridAddress gridLoc(cellcontentp->GetGridAddress()); // ...and so on.}Hope this helps get you where you want to go.---Chris Roueche / Freelance Developer
