get_End() constGets the node that represents the field end.
get_FieldEnd() constGets the node that represents the field end.
get_FieldStart() constGets the node that represents the start of the field.
get_Format()Gets a FieldFormat object that provides typed access to field’s formatting.
get_IsDirty()Gets whether the current result of the field is no longer correct (stale) due to other modifications made to the document.

Examples

Shows how to use SECTION and SECTIONPAGES fields to number pages by sections.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);

builder->MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType::HeaderPrimary);
builder->get_ParagraphFormat()->set_Alignment(ParagraphAlignment::Right);

// A SECTION field displays the number of the section it is in.
builder->Write(u"Section ");
auto fieldSection = System::ExplicitCast<FieldSection>(builder->InsertField(FieldType::FieldSection, true));

ASSERT_EQ(u" SECTION ", fieldSection->GetFieldCode());

// A PAGE field displays the number of the page it is in.
builder->Write(u"\nPage ");
auto fieldPage = System::ExplicitCast<FieldPage>(builder->InsertField(FieldType::FieldPage, true));

ASSERT_EQ(u" PAGE ", fieldPage->GetFieldCode());

// A SECTIONPAGES field displays the number of pages that the section it is in spans across.
builder->Write(u" of ");
auto fieldSectionPages = System::ExplicitCast<FieldSectionPages>(builder->InsertField(FieldType::FieldSectionPages, true));

ASSERT_EQ(u" SECTIONPAGES ", fieldSectionPages->GetFieldCode());

// Move out of the header back into the main document and insert two pages.
// All these pages will be in the first section. Our fields, which appear once every header,
// will number the current/total pages of this section.
builder->MoveToDocumentEnd();
builder->InsertBreak(BreakType::PageBreak);
builder->InsertBreak(BreakType::PageBreak);

// We can insert a new section with the document builder like this.
// This will affect the values displayed in the SECTION and SECTIONPAGES fields in all upcoming headers.
builder->InsertBreak(BreakType::SectionBreakNewPage);

// The PAGE field will keep counting pages across the whole document.
// We can manually reset its count at each section to keep track of pages section-by-section.
builder->get_CurrentSection()->get_PageSetup()->set_RestartPageNumbering(true);
builder->InsertBreak(BreakType::PageBreak);

doc->UpdateFields();
doc->Save(ArtifactsDir + u"Field.SECTION.SECTIONPAGES.docx");
