Getting a Schedules Header Styles

[Rockit_for_Revit]

Hello,

I would like to get the style overides for the body headers of a schedule. However when I use this function, it does not return the correct values for font name, justification etc it seems size cannot be overidden.

Dim objScheduleDefinition As ScheduleDefinition = objViewSchedule.Definition
Dim ListOfRows As New List(Of String)
strRowHedding = "Headers" & clsReadWrite.strPublicConstCSVsepp & "Styles"
For Each objScheduleFieldId As ScheduleFieldId In objScheduleDefinition.GetFieldOrder
    Dim objScheduleField As ScheduleField = objViewSchedule.Definition.GetField(objScheduleFieldId)
    If Not objScheduleField.IsHidden Then
        Dim objFormatOptions As FormatOptions = objScheduleField.GetFormatOptions
        Dim objTableCellStyle As TableCellStyle = objScheduleField.GetStyle
        Dim objHorizontalAlignmentStyle As HorizontalAlignmentStyle = objTableCellStyle.FontHorizontalAlignment
        Dim objVerticalAlignmentStyle As VerticalAlignmentStyle = objTableCellStyle.FontVerticalAlignment
        Dim strFontName As String = objTableCellStyle.FontName
        Dim bolIsFontBold As Boolean = objTableCellStyle.IsFontBold
        Dim bolIsFontItalic As Boolean = objTableCellStyle.IsFontItalic
        Dim bolIsFontUnderline As Boolean = objTableCellStyle.IsFontUnderline
objViewSchedule.Document.GetElement(objViewSchedule.HeaderTextTypeId).Name
        Dim dblTextSize As Double = Math.Round(objTableCellStyle.TextSize / 3.77952756, 1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
        strRowHedding = strRowHedding & clsReadWrite.strPublicConstCSVsepp & Chr(34) & objScheduleField.ColumnHeading & "|" & strFontName & "|" & dblTextSize & "|Bold:" & bolIsFontBold & "|Underline:" & bolIsFontUnderline & "|Horiz:" & objHorizontalAlignmentStyle.ToString & "|Vert:" & objVerticalAlignmentStyle.ToString & Chr(34)
    End If
Next

It is hard to say anything offhand. What values you expect to see, and what values do you actually observe?

Can you share a complete minimal reproducible case for analysis?

Thank you for your reply. Following is an image of a test schedule from an attached sample model:

Following are the results. I'm getting correct results from the title (Header) section, but not from the field title where I have overridden the justification to top right and the font.

Bahnschrift|5|Bold:True|Underline:True|Horiz:Center|Vert:Middle

Mark (Right Top)|Arial|2.4|Bold:False|Underline:False|Horiz:Left|Vert:Middle

Kind Regards

Thank you for the sample material. I passed them on to the development team for analysis..

They reply: 

The TableCellStyle of ScheduleField is for the whole column of the body section of the schedule, while the body header may have a different TableCellStyle if overridden. To retrieve header styles, there is no direct API exposed in the schedule. The only way I can think of is to use GetTableCellStyle:

• https://www.revitapidocs.com/2022/ba47a22c-f50c-9a53-8a82-0ccc2f86aac5.htm

It needs to be called in Body section and the user needs to know which row and column is the header.

Example code:

  TableCellStyle objTableCellStyle = objViewSchedule
    .GetTableData()
    .GetSectionData(SectionType.Body)
    .GetTableCellStyle(0, 0);
