Hi! I’m trying to iterate all the shapes (of type .msoTextBox) of my word document and change the Fill of all shapes to an UserPicture. I know to to do it in VBA but I’m new to the Aspose product and have no idea where to start, can you help me please?
That’s the code in vba:

 Dim picname As String 
 Set objShapes = ActiveDocument.Shapes
 For i = objShapes.Count To 1 step -1
    if objShapes(i).AlternativeText = "*SIGNATURE*" Then
        picname = Pathapp & Application.PathSeparator & "FICS" & Application.PathSeparator & "SIGN" & FORMAT(sgnnumber,"00000") & ".bmp"
        if FileExists(picname) Then
            with objShapes(i)
              .Fill.UserPicture(picname)
              .TextFrame.TextRange.Text = ""
              .Line.Visible = False
           end with
        Else
           objShapes(i).Delete
        End if
     End if
 Next i

Hi!
I’ve provided you with a simpler VBA in DOC, when you manually start Sub Change_TextBox_for_BMP() , it changes the fill to the bmp.example.zip (73.3 KB)
Thanks

@intermega,

You can build logic on the following C# code of Aspose.Words for .NET to set / fill the image of a TextBox Shape to display:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\Temp\\Example\\1.docm");
doc.RemoveMacros();

foreach(Shape shape in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true))
{
    if (shape.AlternativeText == "*SIGNATURE*")
    {
        if (shape.CanHaveImage)
            shape.ImageData.SetImage("E:\\Temp\\Example\\1.bmp");
                    
        break;
    }
}

doc.Save("E:\\Temp\\Example\\20.1.docx");
