This example demonstrates how to use RichEditControl's layout API to collect information about a currently clicked document element (and its parent elements).

This example shows the following approaches to get layout information about a current element:

• Use the DocumentLayout.GetElement method overloads;
• Use the LayoutIterator class;
• Use a custom LayoutVisitor descendant.

To get layout information about the current element, set the caret inside a text block or table cell (or select an image) and click the Analyze current document layout button.

Depending on the type (text block, image, table cell, textbox, etc.) of a clicked element, you can retrieve the following information:

• Content
• Content bounds
• Position on a page
• Page bounds
• Current page index
• Number of images/text boxes on a page
• Common text blocks count, etc.
