WP Get header
WP Get header ( targetObj ) | (wpDoc ; sectionIndex {; subSectionType} ) -> Function result
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| targetObj | Object | → | 4D Write Pro range or section/sub-section element |
| wpDoc | Object | → | 4D Write Pro document |
| sectionIndex | Longint | → | Section index |
| subSectionType | Longint | → | Sub-section type (wk first page, wk left page, or wk right page) |
| Function result | Object | ← | 4D Write Pro header |
Description
The WP Get header command returns the header associated to the targetObj or to the specified sectionIndex of the wpDoc document. If no header is found with regards to the parameter(s), the command returns Null.
- With the first syntax (using the targetObj parameter), the command returns the header of the first page in the range or section/sub-section passed in parameter. If a sub-section is active on the page, the command returns the header of the active sub-section, so it always returns the visible header.
- With the second syntax (using the wpDoc parameter), the command returns the header of the specified sectionIndex section (sectionIndex value must be >=1).
If the subSectionType parameter is passed, the command returns the header associated to the specified sub-section type. You can pass one of the following constants in the subSectionType parameter:
| Constant | Type | Value |
| ------------- | ------- | ----- |
| wk first page | Longint | 1 |
| wk left page | Longint | 2 |
| wk right page | Longint | 3 |
If the subSectionType is not specified, the main section header will be returned. In this case, if a sub-section is active, the main section header object is undefined (the main section header is available only if there is no active wk first page or wk left page sub-section).
Example
You want to copy the header of the first page of a 4D Write Pro document to the headers of all pages of another 4D Write Pro document:
var $headerSource;$rangeSource;$tempoc;$headerTarget;$rangeTarget : Object
$headerSource:=WP Get header([TEMPLATES]WPtemplate;1;wk first page) //get the first page header of section 1
$rangeSource:=WP Text range($headerSource;wk start text;wk end text)
$tempoc:=WP New($rangeSource)
$headerTarget:=WP Get header([Docs]MyWPDoc;1) //all pages of section 1
$rangeTarget:=WP Text range($headerTarget;wk start text;wk end text)
WP INSERT DOCUMENT($rangeTarget;$tempoc;wk replace)
