Example

Executing the example requires an express report with the EAX_STYLE identifier containing a table.

Add links to the Drawing, Express, Metabase, Xml system assemblies in the unit.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    Mb: IMetabase;
    Report: IEaxAnalyzer;
    Entity: IStyledEntity;
    Index: Integer;
    Img: IGxImage;
    Style: IXMLDOMElement;
    Doc: FreeThreadedDOMDocument60;
Begin
    // Get current repository
    Mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get express report
    Report := Mb.ItemById("EAX_STYLE").Edit As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get table style
    Entity := report.Grid.Style.InternalStyle As IStyledEntity;
    // Display the number of standard styles in the console window
    Debug.WriteLine("Number of standard styles: " + entity.PredefinedStyleCount.ToString);
    // Determine index of standard style
    Index := 4;
    Entity.PredefinedStyleIndex := Index;
    // Get image used for standard style preview
    Img := Entity.PredefinedStylePreview(Index);
    // Save image used for standard style preview to EMF file
    Img.SaveToFile("C:\Style.emf");
    // Get standard style in XML format
    Style := Entity.PredefinedStyle(Index);
    // Create an XML document
    Doc := New FreeThreadedDOMDocument60.Create;
    // Add a standard style in XML format to XML document
    Doc.appendChild(Style);
    // Save XML document
    Doc.save("C:\Style.xml");
End Sub

After executing the example:

The number of standard styles will be displayed in the console window.
The image used for standard style preview with the 4 index will be saved to the C:\Style.emf file.
The standard style in the XML format will be saved to the C:\Style.xml file.
