Description

Appends the content of an existing article on the end of the current article. Only the elements that exist in both articles are merged.

Available in Ted and in Fred.

See MergeFromArticleEx to select to append on the beginning of the current article, or on the end.

Notes

•To merge also the structure (ie. to add to the the current article the elements of the source article or to make the structure identical) use ApplyArticleTemplate.

•This method does not merge article attributes.

Syntax

object

Required. Object name. Returned by Ted.GetActiveArticle.

iId

Id of the source article.  Can be obtained by Ted.ArticleSelectDlg.

Remarks

This method expects the source article id as input parameter.

Merging is performed only if source and target element types are matching. The first source element of a type is appended into the first target element of the same type, the second into the second, etc.

Example

  'merges the content of the selected article and the current article

  If Ted.HasActiveArticle Then

    Dim objArticle = Ted.GetActiveArticle

    Dim iId As Integer = UtilsBase.ArticleSelectDlg()

    If iId > 0 Then

      If objArticle.MergeFromArticle(iId) <> 0 Then

         MsgBox(My.Resources.IDS_ErrMergeFailed, vbCritical, My.Resources.IDS_Error)
