I'd suggest you are doing a screen capture of the situation with hidden text showing, edges showing and post it as an inline image here.

Use the forum's controls for this:

Uwe,

This is my code:--

(function(){

  // To test the script interactively, uncomment the following line

  // and select one of the story's text frames.

  //TYPEFI = {inddSpillFrame: app.selection[0]};

var mSel = app.selection[0], 

mCheck = mSel instanceof Table || mSel instanceof Document; 

while (!mCheck) { 

          mSel = mSel.parent; 

          mCheck = mSel instanceof Table || mSel instanceof Document; 

          } 

  var i;

  var found;

  var typefitextFLines;

  var objFrame;

  app.findGrepPreferences = null;

​app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '~a';

found = app.documents[0].findGrep();

//~   app.findGrepPreferences = null;

//~   app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '~a';

//~   found = TYPEFI.inddSpillFrame.parentStory.findGrep();

  for (i = found.length-1; i >= 0; i--){

    if (found.pageItems[0].typefiSettings.element.name== "equ"){

      found.leading = Leading.AUTO;

      found.textFrames[0].textWrapPreferences.textWrapMode = TextWrapModes.JUMP_OBJECT_TEXT_WRAP;

    }

else  if (found.pageItems[0].typefiSettings.element.name== "T_equ"){

    var mu= found.parent.parentRow;

    alert();

//~   // Paragraph:

//~   found.paragraphs[0];

//~   // Page:

//~   found.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage;

    }

  }

}());

it is an anchored typefi element.This script is working fine on all other typefi elements which are not lying inside a table.

But this doen't work on the typefi element lying on the table..

I want to select that row on which that typefi element is lying, and then i want to increase that row height..

Thank you.

Hello harishbisht,

I would contact the developers at Typefi and ask for a solution there.

Hi Harishbisht,

Assuming inddObject is a typefi float:

inddObject.typefiSettings.element.anchor would return a TypefiElementAnchor.

then

myAnchor.pageItem would return a GraphicLine that is the anchor's in-page representation, so the parent of that Graphic line is a character.

In one very long line:

var parent=inddObject.typefiSettings.element.anchor.pageItem.parent.parent;

if (parent.constructor.name=='Cell'){

alert('Anchor in cell')

}

Like Uwe said, these kinds of questions are better suited for the Typefi Support Portal.
