Shape of ShapeType.Image- .Width and .Height set each other

Hi,

I use Shapes to absolutely position objects on a page. I have a mixture of ShapeType.TextBox and ShapeType.Image When the shape is a text box, I can set the height or width and it won’t affect the other. When the shape is an image, if I set the width, the width and height are updated to the same value. This same behaviour is occurring if I set the height. Is there anyway I can resize my image so it isn’t a square?

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder docBuilder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

WriteShape(doc, docBuilder, ShapeType.TextBox);
WriteShape(doc, docBuilder, ShapeType.Image);

doc.Save(@"C:\temp\debug\example.doc", SaveFormat.Doc);

private static void WriteShape(Document doc, DocumentBuilder docBuilder, ShapeType type)
{
    int height = 100;
    int width = 200;
    Shape shape = new Shape(doc, type);
    // set width first, then height
    shape.Width = width;
    shape.Height = height;

    docBuilder.InsertParagraph();

    docBuilder.Writeln("");
    docBuilder.Writeln(type.ToString());

    docBuilder.Writeln("");
    docBuilder.Writeln("width : " + shape.Width);
    docBuilder.Writeln("height : " + shape.Height);
    // set height first, then width
    shape.Height = height;
    shape.Width = width;

    docBuilder.Writeln("");
    docBuilder.Writeln("width : " + shape.Width);
    docBuilder.Writeln("height : " + shape.Height);
}

Hi David,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please try using the following code:

private static void WriteShape(Document doc, DocumentBuilder docBuilder, ShapeType type)
{
    int height = 100;
    int width = 200;
    Shape shape = new Shape(doc, type);
    if (shape.ShapeType == ShapeType.Image)
        shape.AspectRatioLocked = false;
    // set width first, then height
    shape.Width = width;
    shape.Height = height;
    docBuilder.InsertParagraph();
    docBuilder.Writeln("");
    docBuilder.Writeln(type.ToString());
    docBuilder.Writeln("");
    docBuilder.Writeln("width : " + shape.Width);
    docBuilder.Writeln("height : " + shape.Height);
    // set height first, then width
    shape.Height = height;
    shape.Width = width;
    docBuilder.Writeln("");
    docBuilder.Writeln("width : " + shape.Width);
    docBuilder.Writeln("height : " + shape.Height);
}

Hope, this helps.

Best regards,

Worked perfectly. Such a silly thing to miss. Thank-you!
