RadPdfProcessing and nested tables

[SSirica]

When creating a PDF is there a way to nest a table within another table without having to be specific of the tables Y position?  I actually have 3 tables that can look like this:

Table1 - Row1

Table2 - Row1

Table3 - Row1
Table3 - Row2

Table1 - Row2

The number of rows per table is determined by the data, so I don't necessarily know where I am on the page.  Do I have to increase some kind of counter for each line, cause that would be miserable?  I wish there were more extensive examples for creation of Pdf's.  I have seen the Developer Focused examples none of them even come close to what I am trying to accomplish.

Hello Steve,

A sub/nested Table can be added to a RadFixedDocument by creating it in the Blocks collection of an already existing table cell:

Table table = new Table();

TableRow firstRow = table.Rows.AddTableRow();
firstRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" cell1 ");
firstRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" cell1 ");
            
TableRow secondRow = table.Rows.AddTableRow();
secondRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" cell2 ");
TableCell cell = secondRow.Cells.AddTableCell();


TableRow thirdRow = table.Rows.AddTableRow();
thirdRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" cell3 ");
thirdRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" cell3 ");

AddSubTable(cell);

And this is what the AddSubTable method can look like:

static void AddSubTable(TableCell cell)
{
    Table nestedTable = cell.Blocks.AddTable();

    TableRow firstRow = nestedTable.Rows.AddTableRow();
    firstRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" Nested cell 1 ");
    firstRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" Nested cell 2 ");
    firstRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" Nested cell 3 ");

    TableRow secondRow = nestedTable.Rows.AddTableRow();
    secondRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" Nested cell 4 ");
    secondRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" Nested cell 5 ");
    secondRow.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(" Nested cell 6 ");
}

I am attaching a sample project I created to test this functionally. Please, feel free to modify it in a way closer to your scenario, and feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Hope this helps.
