PdfLightTable without DataSource

[Kevin Hector]

Hi. Do you have a full sample for using PdfLightTable objects without a DataSource?

I have created a very simple project using the evaluation version of Essential PDF but I am getting a PdfLightTableException ("Can't draw table, because there is not enough space for it."). This is probably because I have misunderstood the handling of layout events.

A full sample showing the correct handling of PdfLightTable layout events (including column spanning) to provide data and styles to table rows would be very useful.

My version is 5.2.0.25

Many thanks

OK, I no longer get this exception. It appeared to be because cells contained no text.

I'd still like to see a full example of this.
And you guys keep referring to examples here on the forums, but is there a complete listing of these examples somewhere?

Thanks
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion PDF.

1. PdfLightTable layout events Handling

We can customize the table with the help of the layout events. The below events are available to customize the table,

1. BeginPageLayout - This event is raised before layouting has started on a page.
2. EndPageLayout - This event is raised when layouting on a page has finished
3. BeginRowLayout - This event is raised when row layouting has started.
4. EndRowLayout - This event is raised when row layouting has finished.
5. BeginCellLayout - This event is raised when cell layouting has started
6. EndCellLayout - This event is raised when cell layouting has finished.

Please do find the sample from the below specified link and let me know if this helps.

What is the difference between the BeginCellLayoutEventHandler and the EndCellLayoutEventHandler?

Is there a way to update the layout after drawing something into a cell? If the graphic I draw are taller than the row, the row does not automatically stretch vertically. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Hi Wick,

I am working on this and will update you tomorrow.

Hi Wick,

Thank you for your patience.

It is not possible to change the bounds of a cell after drawing it. You can get details of the table events from the below documentation link:

Please let me know if you have any questions.
