Full width table

[fatmedia]

hi there,

can you please tell me how i set a tables fixed width in spire.doc?

e.g.
i want a table that is always the full page width regardless of the content inside the table cells. the below code snippet is what i have so far...

vb.net

Dim theSection As Spire.Doc.Section = theTemplate.Sections(0)
Dim theTable As Spire.Doc.Table = theSection.AddTable()
theTable.TableFormat.HorizontalAlignment = Spire.Doc.Documents.RowAlignment.Center

theTable.Width = 800 <<<<< Read Only Property

Dim theRow As Spire.Doc.TableRow = theTable.AddRow
Dim theCell As Spire.Doc.TableCell = theRow.AddCell()
Dim theP As Spire.Doc.Documents.Paragraph = theCell.AddParagraph()
theP.AppendText("test centered full width text")


cheers!

ok i think i figured it out.

i need to set the cell widths individually.

theCell.Width = 500

is this the correct way to do it?

Hello fatmedia,

If you want to set the with of the cell individually, the method you gave can achieve the effect. I compiled the code as below:

Code: Select all


            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile(@"..\..\Template.docx",FileFormat.Docx);
            Section section=doc.Sections[0];
            String[] header = { "Name", "Capital", "Continent" };
            Table table = section.AddTable();
            //set the rows and columns of the table
            table.ResetCells(header.Length+1, header.Length);
            TableRow row = table.Rows[0];
            //set the tableHeader
            for (int i = 0; i < header.Length;i++ )
            {
                row.Cells[i].CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Middle;
                Paragraph paragraph = row.Cells[i].AddParagraph();
                //set the cell width
                row.Cells[i].Width = 100;
                TextRange textRange = paragraph.AppendText(header[i]); 
            }
            doc.saveToFile(@"sample.docx",FileFormat.Docx);


Have a nice day.
Thanks and Regard
