Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells for .NET.

Please try the following code with the new fix: Aspose.Cells
for .NET v7.4.3.4

C#


Workbook TestWorkbook = new Workbook();

Worksheet TestWorksheet = TestWorkbook.Worksheets[0];

Cells TestCells = TestWorksheet.Cells;

Shape TestShape = TestWorksheet.Shapes.AddTextBox(1, 0, 1, 0, 50, TestCells.GetColumnWidthPixel(1));


TestCells.SetColumnWidthPixel(5, 300);

TestCells[1, 5].Value = “Text Box Height - After Creation”;

TestCells[1, 6].Value = TestShape.Height;


MsoTextFrame TestTextFrame = TestShape.TextFrame;

TestTextFrame.BottomMarginPt = 0;

TestTextFrame.LeftMarginPt = 0;

TestTextFrame.RightMarginPt = 0;

TestTextFrame.TopMarginPt = 0;


// SET AUTO SIZE

// TestTextFrame.AutoSize = true;



TestTextFrame.IsAutoMargin = false;


TestShape.Text = “The TextBox in the created spreadsheet does not size the TextBox when the TextFrame.AutoSize property is set to true.”;

TestShape.Placement = PlacementType.Move;

TestShape.IsLocked = false;

TestShape.IsPrintable = true;

TestShape.IsLocked = false;

TestShape.IsLockAspectRatio = false;

TestShape.IsTextWrapped = true;

TestShape.LineFormat.IsVisible = false;

TestShape.TextOrientationType = TextOrientationType.NoRotation;

TestShape.TextHorizontalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Left;

TestShape.TextVerticalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Top;

int[] size = TestShape.CalculateTextSize();

TestShape.Width = size[0];

TestShape.Height = size[1];


TestCells[2, 5].Value = “Text Box Height - After Setting Properties”;

TestCells[2, 6].Value = TestShape.Height;

Hi Shakeel,

I have tried out version 7.4.3.4 and it does not seem to fix the issue.

The problem is that the shape’s height does not get resized to the correct size.

As (in the test code see attached) when TestShape.IsTextWrapped is set to true, then the height of the Shape needs to be adjusted (not the width).

I am guessing that there may be an issue with CalculateTextSize - as it always seems to always return the size of the Text as if it is being fitted to one row (which won’t necessarily be the case when wrapping the Text within the Shape)…i.e., regardless of the IsTextWrapped setting.

I have attached two spreadsheets.

The first is what happens when using version 7.4.3.4 and the test code - with AutoSize set to true and IsTextWrapped set to true.

The second spreadsheet is the same sheet, but manually edited (in MS Excel) to show the result one would expect. In this sheet, you will notice the TextBox is sized (across) the column width, but with the height adjusted to what it needs to be when using AutoSize and IsTextWrapped.

I hope this helps further explain the problem. Please get back to me if you require more details.

Look forward to getting this issue sorted out and hearing back from you on it.

Many Thanks

Mike

Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells.

You require autosize height wise while aspose is doing autosize width wise. We have noticed your requirements and logged it in our database. We will look into it and once there is some update for you, we will let you know asap.

Hi Shakeel,

I'm just wondering if there has been any more progress on this issue.

I am having trouble not being able to get the same effect as in MS Excel because the shape height is incorrect.

Many Thanks,

Mike

I have tested this fix out with version 7.5.2 and whilst the shape is now having its height set, it appears the calculation of the height (via CalculateTextSize() method) is incorrect.

To reproduce this please use the following code. When the worksheet is opened, you will notice the height of the shape is a bit too big. If you click on the shape in Excel you will see this. If you then go Format Shape/Text Box, and then click twice on "Resize shape to fit text", you will notice Excel re-sizes the Shape correctly, which are the dimensions that I would expect the Aspose CalculateTextSize() method would return. Could you see if there is a bug in the CalculateTextSize() method, or let me know if there is something wrong with the code below.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells for .NET.

We were able to observe this issue. The height of the textbox shape is bit too large and gets adjusted correctly if Resize shape to fit text is clicked twice. Please see the following screenshot for a reference.

We have logged this issue in our database. We will look into it and resolve this issue. Once, the issue is resolved or we have some other update for you, we will let you know asap.

This issue has been logged as CELLSNET-41984.

Hi Amjad,

I have done some more testing on this issue and unfortunately it appears it is still problematic and has bugs.

Please see the attached code that demonstrates that the height is not always being set to the correct value, depending on fonts, formatting, justification etc.

Also it has shown up problems that the text boxes as they appear in Excel do not get rendered to either xps or pdf correctly (i.e., they can appear different in xps and pdf than Excel). This also can be seen in the attached code output.

This is a major issue for software I am about to release, so your earliest attention and resolution to these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Mike
