ListStyle broken with Spire.Doc 13.8.1?

[formsbyair]

Hi guys

The following code no longer works in Spire.Doc 13.8.1

Code: Select all

var style = new Spire.Doc.Documents.ListStyle(document, Spire.Doc.Documents.ListType.Numbered)
{
   Name = "Style"
};
style.Levels[0].CharacterFormat.FontName = "Arial";

We get compile errors as follows:

'ListStyle' does not contain a constructor that takes 2 arguments
'ListStyle' does not contain a definition for Levels

This was working with 13.7.14

I can't see any documentation about what has changed, can you help?

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.
Starting from Spire.Doc 13.8.1, the public constructor for ListStyle has been deprecated. ListStyle objects are now managed within the Document.Styles collection and should be created using the StyleCollection.Add(ListType listType, string name) method. Please refer to the following code example:

Code: Select all

ListStyle listStyle = document.Styles.Add(ListType.Numbered, "levelstyle");
listStyle.IsCustomStyle = true;
listStyle.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Arial";

For more details regarding list-related adjustments, you may refer to the following link:

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I want to create a table of contents with dotted lines using Spire.Doc for .NET. The numbering (e.g., 1, 2, 2.1, 3, 3.1, 4, 5) should be generated automatically when I add text, and the page numbers should also update automatically. The text in the table of contents should use a different font size and font name than the headings in the document. For the headings themselves, I need to apply different fonts and styles.
After adding bullets under section 2.1 [Heading 2], the subheadings should appear as:

2.1.1 [Heading 3]
[Text]
2.1.2 [Heading 3]
2.1.2.1 [Heading 4]
[Text]
2.1.2.1.1 [Heading 5]
[Text]

These numbers (e.g., 2.1.2, 2.1.2.1, 2.1.2.1.1) should populate automatically. If I add a new heading like 2.2 [Heading 3], its numbering should also update automatically using Spire.Doc version 13.10.3.
I have attached my sample code. Could you review and modify it as requested, or share a sample code?

Hello eswaribaskar,

Thank you for your feedback. Please refer to the attached modified example, which mainly involves the following adjustments:
1. Add the "ChangeTocStyle" method to modify the TOC tab style
2. Define the "ListStyle headingList" style and apply it to paragraphs with a heading style
3. Customize some fonts and styles for "BuiltinStyle.Heading1"
If you have any other questions, just feel free to write back.

Hi Team,

Thanks for your support!

This is my final updated code. Everything is working properly except the Table of Contents. The heading numbers in the TOC are not updating correctly. In the document, the correct heading numbers are generated, but the Table of Contents is not reflecting the correct values.
I have attached my final version of the code and the Word output.
Kindly review and provide a solution to fix this issue.

Thanks,
Eswari B

Hello eswaribaskar，

Thank you for your feedback.
Yes, I did find that the list number was not updated correctly in the TOC. I have logged this issue into our bug tracking system with SPIREDOC-11692, Our Dev team will do more investigations to resolve it.
At the same time, if I reload the current result and update the TOC, the output can be updated correctly. You can use this temporary solution first, once SPIREDOC-11692 is fixed, we will provide the hotfix version for you.

Code: Select all

Spire.Doc.Document documentNew = new Spire.Doc.Document();
documentNew.LoadFromFile(@"ProjectMonthlyReport.docx");
documentNew.IsUpdateFields = true;
documentNew.UpdateTableOfContents();
documentNew.SaveToFile(@"ProjectMonthlyReport-out.docx", Spire.Doc.FileFormat.Docx);
