When I am creating a table with rows that have different cell numbers- the rows can't have same width

[richardlijiang]

Hello,

When I am creating a tables that contains dynamic cells in rows, I can’t keep the rows staying in same width. I tried the following methods and all failed.

Method #1:

Table table=new Table(doc);

Row row1 = new Row(doc);

row1.Cells.Add(new Cell(doc));
table.Rows.Add(row1);

Row row2 = new Row(doc);

row2.Cells.Add(new Cell(doc));
row2.Cells.Add(new Cell(doc));
table.Rows.Add(row2);

Method #2:

Using DocumentBuilder to build the above table.

Method #3:

Creating a 2X2 table, and then merge the 2 cells in the 1st Row.

Please see attached screen shot. Please let me know how I can create the expected table with rows staying in same width.

Thank you!

Hi Jiang,

Thanks for your inquiry. You can achieve your requirements by using CellFormat.HorizontalMerge property. I suggest you please read following documentation link for your kind reference.

http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/Working+with+Merged+Cells

Following code example creates a table with two rows with cells in the first row horizontally merged.

<span style=“font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:“Courier New”;color:#2B91AF;mso-no-proof:yes”>Document<span style=“font-size:10.0pt;font-family:“Courier New”;mso-no-proof:yes”> doc = new Document();<o:p></o:p>

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.InsertCell();

builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.First;

builder.Write("Text in merged cells.");

builder.InsertCell();

// This cell is merged to the previous and should be empty.

builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.Previous;

builder.EndRow();

builder.InsertCell();

builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.None;

builder.Write("Text in one cell.");

builder.InsertCell();

builder.Write("Text in another cell.");

builder.EndRow();

builder.EndTable();

doc.Save(MyDir + "AsposeOut.docx");

Hello Tahir Manzoor,

So sorry for the delay as I am Chinese in a different time zone.

Thank you so much for your response!

But I tried this solution before I sent this query to you. But I failed. Now I will attached what I got in my document.
