Public Structure Cell 
   Inherits System.ValueType

Dim instance As Cell

public struct Cell : System.ValueType

public __value struct Cell : public System.ValueType

public value class Cell : public System.ValueType

Remarks

The Vt.ScrapeCells method returns an array of Cell objects for the specified range. Examine the properties of these objects to determining the formatting of each cell. For example, if ScrapeCells is used to scrape the entire contents of the Vt control:

Cell[] cells = Vt.ScrapeCells(new Point(0,0), new Point(Vt.BufferRows + vt.Rows - 1, vt1.Columns - 1), Dart.Emulation.SelectionMode.Standard);

Then cells[0].Character will return the first character contained on the Vt control, cells[0].Styles will return the styles applied to the object, etc.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to get information about a cell in the display.

private string getCellInfo(Point start, Point end, Dart.Emulation.SelectionMode mode)
{
    //Scrape the cell.  The useOffset param specifies which overload to use
    Cell[] cells = vt1.ScrapeCells(start, end, mode);

    //Display info about the cell
    string info = "Character: " + cells[0].Character.ToString() + "\r\n";
    info += "Raw Character: " + cells[0].RawCharacter.ToString() + "\r\n";
    info += "Background color: " + cells[0].BackColor.ToString() + "\r\n";
    info += "Foreground color: " + cells[0].ForeColor.ToString() + "\r\n";
    info += "Styles: " + cells[0].Styles.ToString();
    return info;
}

Visual Basic

Private Function getCellInfo(ByVal start As Point, ByVal [end] As Point, ByVal mode As Dart.Emulation.SelectionMode) As String
	'Scrape the cell.  The useOffset param specifies which overload to use
	Dim cells() As Cell = vt1.ScrapeCells(start, [end], mode)

	'Display info about the cell
	Dim info As String = "Character: " & cells(0).Character.ToString() & Constants.vbCrLf
	info &= "Raw Character: " & cells(0).RawCharacter.ToString() & Constants.vbCrLf
	info &= "Background color: " & cells(0).BackColor.ToString() & Constants.vbCrLf
	info &= "Foreground color: " & cells(0).ForeColor.ToString() & Constants.vbCrLf
	info &= "Styles: " & cells(0).Styles.ToString()
	Return info
End Function
