How can I find the paragraph style (styleUID) of each cell in a table?

[Chamari253904353k85]

Hi everyone, 
I need some help finding the paragraph style (styleUID) of each cell in a table.

So far this is what I have. 

InterfacePtr<ITableModel> tableModel(tableFrame->GetModelRef(), UseDefaultIID());

if (tableModel == nil) break;

int rows = tableModel->GetTotalRows().count;

int cols = tableModel->GetTotalCols().count;

UID currentStyle = kInvalidUID;

for (int r = 0; r < rows; r++)

{

for (int c = 0; c < cols; c++)

{

GridAddress address = GridAddress(r, c);

GridID gridid = tableModel->GetGridID(address);

InterfacePtr<ITableTextContainer> tableTextContainer(tableModel, UseDefaultIID());

if (tableTextContainer == nil)

break;

InterfacePtr<ITextModel> textModel(tableTextContainer->QueryTextModel());

if (textModel == nil)

break;

InterfacePtr<ITextStoryThreadDict> textStoryThreadDict(tableModel, UseDefaultIID());

if (textStoryThreadDict == nil)

break;

InterfacePtr<ITextStoryThread> textStoryThread(textStoryThreadDict->QueryThread(gridid));

if (textStoryThread == nil)

break;

InterfacePtr<ITextModel> iTextModel(textStoryThread->QueryTextModel());

if (iTextModel == nil)

break;

const UIDRef tableRef(::GetUIDRef(tableModel));

TextIndex threadStart, threadLength;

iTextModel->FindStoryThread(tableRef.GetUID(), gridid, &threadStart, &threadLength);

// how can I get the styleUID (Paragraph style) of this cell?

}

}

Hi @Chamari253904353k85 ,

Refer the below code snippet -

InterfacePtr<IAttributeStrand> iParaAttributeStrand(((IAttributeStrand*) iTextModel->QueryStrand(kParaAttrStrandBoss, IAttributeStrand::kDefaultIID)));

int32 outParaSpan = 0;

UID paraStyleUID = iParaAttributeStrand->GetStyleUID(threadStart, &outParaSpan);

IN Parameter - threadStart - is the TextIndex inside the cell.

OUT Parameter - outParaSpan - is the number of characters that have same paragraph style applied in the run.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much Rahul

Note that a cell may contain multiple paragraphs, each using a different paragraph style, thus the importance of outParaSpan and "the number of characters that have same paragraph style applied in the run" in @Rahul_Rastogi's answer.
