Figuring out NestedTables

[ChrisBellBO]

Hi I'm trying to figure out how nested tables work. I have a Word document with a table containing two nested tables. I can see WordTable has a NestedTables property which contains the two tables but I can't find a way to get the parent cell for each nested table, am I missing something?

I am not sure I understand your question. Each Table has Cells/Rows and so on. Same with nested tables?

Oh, i get it. You want to know which cell has nested table. Hrmms

[ChrisBellBO]

Yes, that's it

I guess you would need add new property in Cell to include something. This is in the Table itself

        public bool HasNestedTables {
            get {
                foreach (var cell in this.Cells) {
                    var list = cell._tableCell.Descendants<Table>().ToList();
                    if (list.Count > 0) {
                        return true;
                    }
                }
                return false;
            }
        }
        public List<WordTable> NestedTables {
            get {
                var listReturn = new List<WordTable>();
                foreach (var cell in this.Cells) {
                    var list = cell._tableCell.Descendants<Table>().ToList();
                    foreach (var table in list) {
                        listReturn.Add(new WordTable(this._document, table));
                    }
                }
                return listReturn;
            }
        }

So as part of specific Cell, just adjust the logic to it can be per Cell as well.

Looks good, I will give it a go, thanks
