getParagraphFormat

getParagraphFormat(leftIndent:      Integer output;
                   rightIndent:     Integer output;
                   firstLineIndent: Integer output;
                   alignment:       Integer output);

The getParagraphFormat method of the JadeRichText class retrieves common paragraph formatting attributes of the receiver (that is, the paragraph that contains the insertion point).

The getParagraphFormat method parameters are listed in the following table.

Parameter Description
leftIndent Obtains the value of the leftIndent property
rightIndent Obtains the value of the rightIndent property
firstLineIndent Obtains the value of the firstLineIndent property
alignment Obtains the value of the alignment property

Although individual properties enable you to get paragraph formatting attributes, you should consider the number of requests made to the control, particularly when running the JADE application in thin client mode. For example, calling the getParagraphFormat method involves one request from the application server but making individual calls from the application server to the presentation client for specific formatting information within the paragraph requires four requests.
