Hiding rows in RTF tables with merged cells?
My application generates its output in RTF format and then uses a
commercially available editor (not Word) to display the output to the user. One of the things I need to do, is generate tables like this: A C B C so it's a table with two rows and two columns, but the two cells in the second column are vertically merged. The problem is, if the text in the merged column is extra-long, it makes the row containing 'B' taller to fit all its text. That's reasonable, but makes B look ugly, What I want is more like this ... A C B C x C where that third row contains no text in the 'x' cell, and the row containing x only shows up if the text in C is long enough to require it. So, trying to draw this, instead of seeing this ... +---+---+ + A + C + +---+ C + + B + C + + + C + + + C + + + C + +---+---+ (notice all the blank space in the row containing B) I want to see this (hard to show in proportional fonts, sorry, and I'm not sure if it's safe to do HTML formatting) +---+---+ + A + C + +---+ C + + B + C + +---+ C + + + C + + + C + +---+---+ But if the stuff in 'C' is short, I want to see +---+---+ + A + C + +---+ C + + B + C + +---+---+ and not +---+---+ + A + C + +---+ C + + B + C + +---+ + + + + +---+---+ I tried adding a blank row at the end, and putting absolutely no content in it, but it seems like RTF assumes that if you have a row, it gives it by default the height of the default font. Any suggestions? Thanks! Chris |
