Block in table cell.

[jaipal]

Hello All,

I am inserting certain amount of text into a block which is part of a table cell. , Post to that i am checking the size of the table and if it is over to the size of the page height , i am doing a split on the block. 

During Debug time , i can observe that the block is split properly but when we check the generated PDF file , we are observing the text to be overflowing in first page. Is this some thing that any one can help me. 

Block answerBlock = new Block();

answerBlock.InsertText(Answer);

if (textAreaTable.Measure().Height +  > pageHeight - 120)
{
Size setSize = answerBlock.Measure(new Size(450, pageHeight - (120 )));
Block secondBlock = answerBlock.Split();
var mySize = answerBlock.DesiredSize;
var pendingElements = answerBlock.PendingElements;
answerCell.Blocks.Add(answerBlock);
}

Hello,

As described in this forum post, IBlockElement interface is designed to measure, draw and finally split the block element. If you need to draw the textAreaTable instance in the available space then you should simply provide the available size as Draw method parameter.

textAreaTable.Draw(editor, new Rect(new Size(450, pageHeight - 120)));

Later if you need to draw the remaining content you should only split the table instance and it will recursively split the blocks inside its cells.

if (textAreaTable.HasPendingContent)
{
    textAreaTable = textAreaTable.Split();
}

I hope this helps.
