Retrieving Data Fields Used in a Layout (TFORMer. NET API)

Data fields in a repository

Repository repository = new Repository ("C:\\Path\\Labels.tfr", false, false);
Project project = repository.GetProject("BarcodeLabels");
FormLayout formlayout = project.GetFormLayout("Label1");

// iterate through all DataFields in the project
for (DataField field = project.FirstDataField; field != null; field = field.Next)
{
// check if the DataField is used in the FormLayout
DataFieldUsage usage = formlayout.GetDataFieldUsage(field.Name);

  if (usage == DataFieldUsage.Normal)
  {
    // DataField used in the FormLayout
  }
}

Data fields in a TFF

// create a Repository-instance using a stand-alone FormLayout
Repository repo = new Repository("C:\\Path\\Label.tff", false, false);

// retrieves the global project
Project project = repo.GlobalProject;

// retrieves the one and only FormLayout (stand-alone form)
FormLayout formlayout = project.FirstFormLayout;

// retrieving the data fields:
// use the same code as with the repository (see above)
