Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a regular report with the REG_REPORT_TAB identifier containing table styles.

Add links to the Metabase, Report, Tab, Xml system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    mb: IMetabase;
    Report: IPrxReport;
    Tab: ITabSheet;
    Style: ITabTableStyles;
    StyleXml: String;
    XML: FreeThreadedDOMDocument60;
Begin
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get regular report
    Report := mb.ItemById("REG_REPORT_TAB").Bind As IPrxReport;
    // Get table styles
    Tab := (Report.ActiveSheet As IPrxTable).TabSheet;
    Style := Tab.TableStyles;
    // Save table styles to file in the XML format
    StyleXml := Style.SaveToXml;
    XML := New FreeThreadedDOMDocument60.Create;
    XML.loadXML(StyleXml);
    XML.save("C:\TableStyles.xml");
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example table styles from the available report sheet are loaded to the C:\TableStyles.xml file in the XML format.
