Examples

Shows how to determine how to display a shape in a table cell.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Table table = builder.StartTable();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.EndTable();

TableStyle tableStyle = (TableStyle)doc.Styles.Add(StyleType.Table, "MyTableStyle1");
tableStyle.BottomPadding = 20;
tableStyle.LeftPadding = 10;
tableStyle.RightPadding = 10;
tableStyle.TopPadding = 20;
tableStyle.Borders.Color = Color.Black;
tableStyle.Borders.LineStyle = LineStyle.Single;

table.Style = tableStyle;

builder.MoveTo(table.FirstRow.FirstCell.FirstParagraph);

Shape shape = builder.InsertShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, RelativeHorizontalPosition.LeftMargin, 50,
    RelativeVerticalPosition.TopMargin, 100, 100, 100, WrapType.None);

// Set the "IsLayoutInCell" property to "true" to display the shape as an inline element inside the cell's paragraph.
// The coordinate origin that will determine the shape's location will be the top left corner of the shape's cell.
// If we re-size the cell, the shape will move to maintain the same position starting from the cell's top left.
// Set the "IsLayoutInCell" property to "false" to display the shape as an independent floating shape.
// The coordinate origin that will determine the shape's location will be the top left corner of the page,
// and the shape will not respond to any re-sizing of its cell.
shape.IsLayoutInCell = isLayoutInCell;

// We can only apply the "IsLayoutInCell" property to floating shapes.
shape.WrapType = WrapType.None;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Shape.LayoutInTableCell.docx");
