Word.TableBorder class

Package:

word

Specifies the border style.

Extends

OfficeExtension.ClientObject

Remarks

[ API set: WordApi 1.3 ]

Examples

// Link to full sample: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/prod/samples/word/40-tables/manage-formatting.yaml

// Gets border details about the first table in the document.
await Word.run(async (context) => {
  const firstTable: Word.Table = context.document.body.tables.getFirst();
  const borderLocation = Word.BorderLocation.top;
  const border: Word.TableBorder = firstTable.getBorder(borderLocation);
  border.load(["type", "color", "width"]);
  await context.sync();

  console.log(`Details about the ${borderLocation} border of the first table:`, `- Color: ${border.color}`, `- Type: ${border.type}`, `- Width: ${border.width} points`);
});

Properties

color	Specifies the table border color.
context	The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.
type	Specifies the type of the table border.
width	Specifies the width, in points, of the table border. Not applicable to table border types that have fixed widths.

Methods

load(options)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
set(properties, options)	Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.
set(properties)	Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.
toJSON()	Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Word.TableBorder object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Word.Interfaces.TableBorderData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
track()	Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you're using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created. If this object is part of a collection, you should also track the parent collection.
untrack()	Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.

Method Details

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(options?: Word.Interfaces.TableBorderLoadOptions): Word.TableBorder;

Parameters

options

Word.Interfaces.TableBorderLoadOptions

Provides options for which properties of the object to load.

Returns

Word.TableBorder

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): Word.TableBorder;

Parameters

propertyNames

string | string[]

A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.

Returns

Word.TableBorder

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths?: {
            select?: string;
            expand?: string;
        }): Word.TableBorder;

Parameters

propertyNamesAndPaths

{ select?: string; expand?: string; }

propertyNamesAndPaths.select is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.

Returns

track(): Word.TableBorder;

Returns

Word.TableBorder
