Hi,

I am not sure about your requirement exactly. Could you elaborate it more and how can you do this with even .NET’s Grid control or binding shapes (of an Excel file) to other Excel file.

Thank you.

Hi Amjad Shai,

I have attached sample Excel book for your reference. This excel book contains text values, chart and text box in Sheet1. I am using below code to import excel book to GridDeskTop.

GridDesktop.ImportExcelFile("Book.xlsx");

After importing the document to grid, the grid will contains only text values in cell. It doesn't import textbox and chart from excel book to grid. I want to know whether Is it possible to display all shapes (textbox, chart,.etc) in GridDesktop.

Thanks,

Dhivya

Hi Dhivya,


Thank you for elaborating your query.
I am afraid, we currently do not support this feature [Importing Shapes Collection to GridDesktop]. If you confirm, we can add it as a “Feature Request” in our system and then check the feasibility of it’s implementation.

Hi,

I am facing below issues while importing the Excel 97 - 2003 (.xls) document with collection of shapes using Aspose.Cells.GridDeskTop for .Net version 2.6.0. I have attached the sample documents and the exception screen shots for your reference.

Hi,

If the excel document contains any of the freeform shapes and smart arts, the C# application is throwing "Parameter is not valid" exception. I am using Aspose.Cells.GridDesktop version 2.6.1.2000.

Please find the sample excel book for your reference.

Thanks,
