WP Get subsection
WP Get subsection ( targetObj ) | (wpSection ; subSectionType ) -> Function result
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| targetObj | Object | → | Range or element |
| wpSection | Object | → | 4D Write Pro section |
| subSectionType | Longint | → | Subsection type (wk first page, wk left page, or wk right page) |

Description
The WP Get subsection command returns first subsection intersected by the targetObj range or element, or to the specified subSectionType subsection of the wpSection section.
- With the first syntax (using the targetObj parameter), the command returns the first subsection which intersects the range or the element. If no subsection intersects the range or the element, a null object is returned. You can pass in targetObj:
- a range, or
- an element (table / row / paragraph / body / text box / header / footer ).
If the range or element is or belongs to a header, a footer, or a text box, WP Get subsection returns the subsection to which the targetObj is attached. If the targetObj is not attached to a subsection, a null object is returned.
If the range or element belongs to an anchored picture, an error is returned.
- With the second syntax (using the wpSection and subSectionType parameters), the command returns a wpSubSection object (child of wpSection) of the the subSectionType type. 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 no subSectionType subsection is defined for the specified wpSection, the command returns an undefined object (no error is returned).
Example
You want to apply a blue background on left pages:
var $section;$subsection : Object
//Retrieve the reference on the first section
$section:=WP Get section(wpDoc;1)
//Retrieve the reference on the left subsection of the first section
$subsection:=WP Get subsection($section;wk left page)
//If the subsection exists, set the background to blue
If($subsection#Null)
WP SET ATTRIBUTES($subsection;wk background color;"#87CEEB")
Else
ALERT("Please, create left and right subsections.")
End if
