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

private void TextBoxShapeAutoHeightIssue()
{
Workbook testWorkbook = new Workbook();
Worksheet testWorksheet = testWorkbook.Worksheets[0];
Cells testCells = testWorksheet.Cells;
int iWidth = testCells.GetColumnWidthPixel(1);
iWidth += testCells.GetColumnWidthPixel(2);
Shape testShape = testWorksheet.Shapes.AddTextBox(1, 0, 1, 0, 0, iWidth);
testCells.SetColumnWidthPixel(5, 300);
testCells[15, 5].Value = "Text Box Height - After Creation";
testCells[15, 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 set the height of the TextBox correctly when the TextFrame.AutoSize property is set to true.";

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

Hi Shakeel, is there any update on this issue…???

This is getting extremely critical for us.

As a possible work-around, does Aspose Cells implement the Excel Fill Justify tool…???

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for using Aspose.Cells.

It seems to be difficult issue and I am afraid, currently there is no update for you. However, I have again logged your comment and requested the development team to provide some ETA or update for this issue.

For your Excel justify tool question, please elaborate your question/feature more. We will look into it if such a feature is implemented by Aspose.Cells and let you know asap.

36

Hi Shakeel,

Re justify fill - it is a standard tool in Excel - best I refer you to this link to see the basics of what it does:

Regarding the outstanding issue, we are very disappointed that this bug has not yet been resolved and more so that there is no scheduled date for a resolution from Aspose.

This bug has been outstanding for some time now.

As mentioned previously, the method at issue returning correct results/values is a vital requirement for our application and critical for our users, and thus key to our reliance and continued use of Aspose Cells.

I would respectfully ask you to do everything you can to escalate this bug to the highest level and hopefully have fixed asap.

I look forward to your feedback and hopefully an expected date for the bug’s resolution.

Many thanks,

Mike

Hi,


We also seem the have the same issue here.

We want to accomplish the following; we want to have a textbox shape on our first cell which has a fixed width and a variable height. The rows under this cell have some data in it. The input text should be completely displayed, make the textbox longer and should not overflow to the right. The cell should also grow vertically so the data is not overlapped with the shape.

In our input (attached) file already has the data and the textboxshape.

The I run this code*;

Dim objLicense As New Aspose.Cells.License()
objLicense.SetLicense(“Aspose.Cells.lic”)

Dim objWorkbook As New Workbook(“C:\input.xls”)

Dim objWorksheet As Worksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets(0)

Dim objShape As Aspose.Cells.Drawing.Shape = objWorksheet.Shapes(“tb”)
objShape.Text = String.Format(“very long text the first line is the longest, longer, longer, very very long {0} not as long {0} even shorter {0} or was it”, vbCrLf)
objShape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True

objWorksheet.Cells.Rows(0).Height = objShape.CalculateTextSize()(1)

objWorkbook.Save(“C:\output.xls”, SaveFormat.Excel97To2003)

I observed the following;
- objShape.Height property is still the original height
- the objShape.CalculateTextSize function** returns an array of two variables of which (I assume) the first one is the new height. But this value was to large.

Please see the attached “output” file

Could you please provide a workaround or link us to the existing issue so we will also be up to date?

Also I would like the know why I do not get any data when I call the “LinkedCell” property of the objShape? I would have expected “A1”…
