Need VB code for creating an header and textbox in each slide + Inserting text in each of these boxes.
Also need to leave the textboxes without a border line / no color border line.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Thanks for your posting.
Sorry that we don't support to add header and textboxes. But a rectangle shape has nearly same functions as textbox, I recommand you to use rectangle shapes if you can.
Sharing some code to add rectangle shape:
Code: Select all
     Dim shape As IAutoShape = presentation.Slides(0).Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, New RectangleF(10, 10, 200, 100))

    shape.Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid
    shape.Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.White
    shape.ShapeStyle.LineColor.Color = Color.White

    shape.AppendTextFrame("Demo of Spire.Presentation")
    Dim textRange As TextRange = shape.TextFrame.TextRange
    textRange.Fill.FillType = Spire.Presentation.Drawing.FillFormatType.Solid
    textRange.Fill.SolidColor.Color = Color.Black


Please feel free to contact us if you need further assistance.

Best Regards,
Amy

Thank you!

I'm using different images as background for the slides so I'd like to make the text boxes /rectangle border transparent/no color - regardless of the specific background image color Kindly guide me how to do that.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Please try the following code.
Code: Select all
 RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(0, 0, presentation.SlideSize.Size.Width, presentation.SlideSize.Size.Height);
            presentation.Slides[0].SlideBackground.Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Picture;

            IEmbedImage image = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendEmbedImage(ShapeType.Rectangle, ImageFile, rect);
            image.Line.FillFormat.FillType = FillFormatType.None;
            presentation.Slides[0].SlideBackground.Fill.PictureFill.Picture.EmbedImage = image as IImageData;

Can you please specify what each one of the numbers in the next code section represents?

RectangleF(10, 10, 200, 100)

Thank you!

Hi,

//x, y represent x, y coordinates
//width represents shape's width
//height represents shape's height
RectangleF(float x, float y, float width, float height)
