Border set on row in table not shown + image in cell not shown

[Floris Verhoeven]

Hello,

While using DocIO for WPF, I've encountered two issues. 

Applying a border to a table row doesn't seem to work. Applying it to the table, or cells within rows, seems to work just fine. 

Inserting an image into the paragraph of a cell of a table doesn't seem to work either.

Please find a sample project attached in which the two problem should be easily reproduced.

I would kindly like to request some feedback on these issues.

Kind regards,

Floris

Hi Floris,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Regarding Inserting an image into the paragraph of a cell of a table doesn't seem to work:
On analyzing the given sample application, we have found that while inserting an image in the paragraph and setting some text to that same paragraph in Paragraph.Text API means, it will removes all other entity and it will add new text as text range in that paragraph. So the image is removed in the paragraph and causes the reported issue.

We have modified given sample application and it can be downloaded from the below link:
https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/147289/ze/WordTestApp712212221

Please use below highlighted code snippet in your sample.

 

case string text:
    cellText = text;
    paragraph.Text = cellText;
    break; 

Regarding Applying a border to a table row doesn't seem to work:
We will validate on your reported problem and update you more details on 9^th September 2019.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Floris,

Thank you for your patience.

Regarding row border issue:
On analyzing in depth on reported row border issue, we have exposed RowFormat.Borders API to apply the border for row which is applicable only for 2003 DOC format alone.

In latest version of Microsoft Word application, it applies border for text, paragraph, table and cell alone border can’t be applied for row of the table and it can be shown in below screenshot,



To resolve this issue, we suggest you apply the border for each cell in the corresponding row using CellFormat.Borders API. We have modified the given sample application and it can be downloaded from the below link:
https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/147289/ze/WordTestApp1154210894

Please use below highlighted code snippet in your sample.

 

for (var cellIndex = 0; cellIndex < data.Length; cellIndex++)
{
  var cellContent = data[cellIndex];
  var cell = row.Cells[cellIndex];
  //Applies border for each cell
  cell.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.BorderType = BorderStyle.Thick; 

Note: We will consider this scenario and will update this limitation in our UG documentation.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
