Main API Members

The list below outlines key members of the IdxRichEditTableBorder interface. You can use these members to configure table appearance settings.

LineColorAllows you to change the table border’s line color.LineStyleAllows you to change the table border’s line pattern or hide the table border.LineThicknessAllows you to adjust the table border’s line thickness.

Code Example: Insert and Configure a Table

The following code example creates a table populated with three columns and rows at the current caret position and customizes the table’s borders and background:

Delphi
C++
