Add a new column to a table

[MicroGenDX]

Hi,

I can't find an instruction on how to add a column to a table.

I attach my word file just in case you want to make an example.

sample to iceblue.zip

Thank you,
Quan

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
The following code demonstrates how to add a new column to an existing table. If you have further questions, please feel free to write back.

Code: Select all

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Document doc = new Document();
        doc.LoadFromFile("sample to iceblue.docx");
        Section section = doc.Sections[0];
        Table table = section.Tables[0] as Table;

        //Set the column index
        int columnIndex = 4;       
        if (columnIndex <= table.Rows[0].Cells.Count)
        {
            //Add a new column
            AddColumn(table, columnIndex);
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Index is out of range");
        }           
        string output = "out.docx";
        doc.SaveToFile(output, FileFormat.Docx2013);
    }

    public static void AddColumn(Table table, int columnIndex)
    {
        //Get the total grid span
        int gridSpan = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < columnIndex; i++)
        {
                gridSpan += table.Rows[0].Cells[i].GridSpan;
        }           
        for (int r = 0; r < table.Rows.Count; r++)
        {               
            //Add a new cell
            TableCell addCell = new TableCell(table.Document);
            int currentGridSpan = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < table.Rows[r].Cells.Count; i++)
            {
                //Calculate the current total grid span
                currentGridSpan += table.Rows[r].Cells[i].GridSpan;
                if (currentGridSpan == gridSpan)
                {
                    table.Rows[r].Cells.Insert(i + 1, addCell);
                    break;
                }
                if (currentGridSpan > gridSpan)
                {
                    table.Rows[r].Cells.Insert(i, addCell);
                    break;
                }
            }                             
        }
    }
