Adding a header

I want to add a header that contains text at the top of every slide. How would I accomplish this?

@ashwin.sundaram,

I have observed your requirements and like to share that normal slides does not possess header inside them. The header is supported inside HandoutMaster, NotesMaster and all Notes slides. So to reflect changes in Header Footer Manger dialog of PowerPoint you need to update header/footer in HandoutMaster, NotesMaster and all Notes slides.

public static void TestHeader
{
        Presentation presentation = new Presentation(path + "handout_header_footer.pptx");

        IMasterHandoutSlide masterHandoutSlide = presentation.getMasterHandoutSlideManager().getMasterHandoutSlide();
        if (masterHandoutSlide != null)
        	updateHeaderFooterText(masterHandoutSlide);

        IMasterNotesSlide masterNotesSlide = presentation.getMasterNotesSlideManager().getMasterNotesSlide();
        if (null != masterNotesSlide)
        	updateHeaderFooterText(masterNotesSlide);
        
        for(ISlide slide : presentation.getSlides())
        {
        	INotesSlide notesSlide = slide.getNotesSlideManager().getNotesSlide();
        	if (null != notesSlide)
        		updateHeaderFooterText(notesSlide);
        }
        
        presentation.save(path + "handout_test_java.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

public void updateHeaderFooterText(IBaseSlide master)
{
        for (IShape shape : master.getShapes())
        {
            if (shape.getPlaceholder() != null)
            {
                if (shape.getPlaceholder().getType() == PlaceholderType.Header)
                    ((IAutoShape)shape).getTextFrame().setText("HI there new header");

                if (shape.getPlaceholder().getType() == PlaceholderType.Footer)
                    ((IAutoShape)shape).getTextFrame().setText("HI there new footer");
            }
        }
}

Many Thanks,

@ashwin.sundaram,

I have observed your requirement and like to share that you have used the default empty presentation which does not have master slides for Notes and Handout. Therefore, you are unable to observe the set headers. Please try using the following source presentation on your end and you will be able to observe the headers being set in Handout or Notes master of presentation.

Hi Sir,

Can you please provide a link for .net 13.x on how to work with tables in footer and header of aspose slides, and how to format text in header and footer. For example i need to put a table in footer and align text to left and right after table. This text is after table , any way text is independent of table.

Thank you
Annadatha.
