DocIO Table Full Width of Page

[Jordan Spence]

I'm trying to create a table that spans the full width of the page.  When I use ResetCells(1,2, null, section.PageSetup.ClientWidth / 2) or set the cell width manually, the cells only expand as far as the text inside the cells.  How can I get the table to expand the full width of the page regardless of what is in the cell?

Hi Jordan,

 Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

 We are unable to reproduce the mentioned table cell width issue while resets the rows/columns using "ResetCells(int rowsNum, int columnsNum, RowFormat format, float cellWidth)" method of WTable class. Each cells in the created table preserves the same width defined in the last parameter of the above mentioned method. Could you please provide us the code snippet/sample used at your side to reproduce the issue? Also provide us the mobile platform details and word viewer details which you have used in your mobile phone to view the DocIO generated word document.

 Please let us know if you have any other questions.

 Regards,

Sarath

This code generates a table that isn't the full width of page, and only as big as the text inside it.

WordDocument document = new WordDocument();

var newSection = document.AddSection();

// Add a new table to the header.

IWTable table = section.HeadersFooters.Header.AddTable();

// Inserting table with a row and two columns.

table.ResetCells(1, 3, null, newSection.PageSetup.ClientWidth / 3);

// Column 1

var firstParagraph = table[0, 0].AddParagraph() as WParagraph;

IWTextRange txt = firstParagraph.AppendText("LOGO");

txt.CharacterFormat.Font.FontFamilyName = "Arial";

txt.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 10;

// Column 2

var secondParagraph = table[0, 1].AddParagraph() as WParagraph;

table[0, 1].CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;

secondParagraph.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 0f;

txt = secondParagraph.AppendText("Name" + Environment.NewLine + "Date" + Environment.NewLine + "User Name");

secondParagraph.ParagraphFormat.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;

// Column 3

var thirdParagraph = table[0, 2].AddParagraph() as WParagraph;

table[0, 2].CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;

thirdParagraph.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 0f;

var column3Text = string.Format("{0}: {1}" + Environment.NewLine + "{2}: {3}" + Environment.NewLine + "{4}: {5}" + Environment.NewLine + "{6}: {7}" + Environment.NewLine + "{8}: {9}" + Environment.NewLine, "Date", "2", "Mgr", "4", "Company", "6", "Country", "8", "Type", "10");

txt = thirdParagraph.AppendText(column3Text);

txt.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 9f;

thirdParagraph.ParagraphFormat.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;

I'm running this through Xamarin Studio on a Mac using the IPhoneSimulator.  Here is a screenshot from the simulator.  As you can see all the text is pushed together because the table doesnt take up the full width of the page.

Hi Jordan,

 

Thank you for your update.

 

On further analyzing, the reported table cell width issue due to the word viewer application which you have used in your iPhoneSimulator. We have checked the same document with Microsoft Mobile Office application, in that table cell width are preserved properly as defined in ResetCells(int rowsNum, int columnsNum, RowFormat format, float cellWidth) method of WTable class. For your reference we have attached the screen shot below. The same issue will occur when you open the MS word generated document in that word viewer application, so it is not an issue in our side. Kindly make use of MS Mobile office or any other word viewer application to resolve the issue.
