Text and Type
The following script fragment shows how to process the selection when text or table cells are selected. In
this example, the script displays an alert for each selection condition, but a real production script would
then do something with the selected item(s). (For the complete script, see TableSelection.)
if(app.documents.length != 0){
if(app.selection.length != 0){
switch(app.selection[0].constructor.name){
}
}
}
//When a row, a column, or a range of cells is selected,
//the type returned is "Cell"
case "Cell":
alert("A cell is selected.");
break;
case "Table":
alert("A table is selected.");
break;
case "InsertionPoint":
case "Character":
case "Word":
case "TextStyleRange":
case "Line":
case "Paragraph":
case "TextColumn":
case "Text":
if(app.selection[0].parent.constructor.name == "Cell"){
alert("The selection is inside a table cell.");
}
else{
alert("The selection is not inside a table.");
}
break;
default:
alert("The selection is not inside a table.");
break;
