Inserting shapes into table cells

[sailesh]

Hi,

I am having difficulty placing shapes into a table cell.It always gets inserted outside the table. The attached is what I am trying to achieve using Aspose Word (the square shape within a table cell). Any direction would help.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Alexey,

Here's what I have tried......

Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.CellFormat.Borders.LineStyle = LineStyle.Single;

builder.CellFormat.Borders.Color = Color.Red;

builder.RowFormat.LeftIndent = 100;

// etc...

//Insert some table

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)

{

for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)

{

Aspose.Words.Drawing.Shape shape = new Aspose.Words.Drawing.Shape(doc, ShapeType.Rectangle);

shape.AnchorLocked = true;

shape.Height = 20;

shape.Width = 20;

builder.InsertCell();

Aspose.Words.Paragraph par = new Aspose.Words.Paragraph(doc);

shape.AppendChild(par);

builder.MoveTo(par);

//Insert shape into the document

doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(shape);

}

builder.EndRow();

}

builder.EndTable();

doc.Save("C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\Report Templates\\test.doc");

I am also trying to do the same using Bookmarks but there is no method which inserts shape?

Tks,

S

Hi

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Thank you for additional information. The problem occurs because you always insert the shape into the first paragraph of the document. Here is line from your code:

//Insert shape into the document

doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(shape);

I think you should use code like the following:

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.CellFormat.Borders.LineStyle = LineStyle.Single;

builder.CellFormat.Borders.Color = Color.Red;

builder.RowFormat.LeftIndent = 100;

// etc...

//Insert some table

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)

{

for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)

{

Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Rectangle);

shape.AnchorLocked = true;

shape.Height = 20;

shape.Width = 20;

builder.InsertCell();

builder.InsertNode(shape);

}

builder.EndRow();

}

builder.EndTable();

doc.Save(@"Test185\out.doc");

Hope this helps.

Best regards.

Hi Alexey,

Am having an issue with having to centre align the shapes horizontally on table cells. Attached is what I am trying to achieve and below is the code. Could you please suggest changes.

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Table tblTemp = builder.StartTable();

builder.CellFormat.Borders.LineStyle = LineStyle.Dot;

builder.CellFormat.Borders.Color = Color.LightGray;

builder.CellFormat.TopPadding = 1.5;

builder.CellFormat.BottomPadding = 1.5;

builder.RowFormat.Height = 40;

builder.RowFormat.Alignment = RowAlignment.Center;

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)

{

for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)

{

builder.InsertCell();

if (i == 0 && j == 0)

{

builder.Write("Leadership");

}

if (i == 1 && j == 0)

{

builder.Write("Team Fit");

}

if (i == 0 && j == 4)

{

Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Rectangle);

shape.FillColor =Color.SeaGreen;

shape.ZOrder = 1000;

shape.AnchorLocked = true;

shape.Height = 20;

shape.Width = 20;

shape.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Column;

shape.HorizontalAlignment = Aspose.Words.Drawing.HorizontalAlignment.Center;

shape.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Default;

shape.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;

builder.InsertNode(shape);

}

if (j == 1)

{

Shape shpLine = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Line);

shpLine.Width = 250;

builder.InsertNode(shpLine);

}

}

builder.EndRow();

}

builder.EndTable();

foreach (Row row in tblTemp.Rows)

{

foreach (Cell cell in row.Cells)

{

cell.CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = CellVerticalAlignment.Center;

if (cell.IsFirstCell)

{

cell.CellFormat.Width = 120.00;

cell.CellFormat.WrapText = true;

}

else

{

cell.CellFormat.Width = 67.00;

cell.CellFormat.WrapText = false;

cell.CellFormat.FitText = false;

}

}

}

doc.Save("C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\Report Templates\\test.doc");

Hi

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Thanks for your request. I think you can specify Top position, in this case. Please see the following code:

if (i == 0 && j == 4)

{

Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Rectangle);

shape.FillColor = Color.SeaGreen;

shape.ZOrder = 1000;

shape.AnchorLocked = true;

shape.Height = 20;

shape.Width = 20;

shape.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Column;

shape.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

shape.Top = (builder.RowFormat.Height / 2) - (shape.Height / 2);

builder.InsertNode(shape);

}

if (j == 1)

{

Shape shpLine = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Line);

shpLine.Top = builder.RowFormat.Height / 2;

shpLine.Width = 250;

builder.InsertNode(shpLine);

}

Hope this helps.

Best regards.
