Sequence Field
SeqField is a Field element that sequally numbers chapters, tables, figures, and other items in the document. If you add, delete, or move an item and its respective Sequence field, you can update remaining Seq fields in the document to reflect the new sequence.
Field Syntax
This is how the syntax of a Sequence field looks like:
| Syntax |
|---|
| { SEQ Identifier [Bookmark] [Switches]} |
Seq identifier
Every SEQ code needs an identifier to tag each sequence or list. Identifiers must start with a letter and is limited to a 40 characters(letters, numbers, and underscores).
Bookmarks
Include a bookmark name to refer to an item elsewhere in the document.
Switches
Switches are a way for the code fragment to specify formatting for the result of the field. More information is available in the Syntax and Switches section of the Fields article.
The possible switches for a Sequence field are:
| Switch | Description |
|---|---|
| \c | Repeats the closest preceding sequence number. |
| \h | Hides the field result. |
| \n | Inserts the next sequence number for the specified number. |
| \r n | Resets the sequence number to the specified number. |
| \s | Resets the sequence number at the heading level following the "s". |
Inserting
Inserting a SEQ fields can be easily achieved when inserting number to tables, figures, and other items in a document.
[C#] Example 1: Insert Sequence field using InsertField() method__
The suggested approach for inserting code fields is by using RadFlowDocumentEditor. The InsertField() method accepts code as a first argument and the result as a second argument.
editor.InsertText("Figure ");
editor.InsertField("SEQ Image" , "Update Figure Number");
