Platform: WinForms |
Control: XlsIO

Text box shape can be added into a chart using AddTextBox property in IChartShape of XlsIO as shown in the below code sample.

 

C#

ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine();
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
 
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Open("Sample.xlsx");
 
//The first worksheet object in the worksheets collection is accessed.
IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
IChartShape chart= workbook.Worksheets[0].Charts[0];
 
//Adding TextBox to chart.
chart.TextBoxes.AddTextBox(1,1, 100,200);
 
//Setting position for TextBox.
chart.TextBoxes[0].Top = 850;
chart.TextBoxes[0].Left = 765;
 
//Adding text to TextBox.
chart.TextBoxes[0].Text = "Yearly Profit”;
 
//Save the workbook.
workbook.SaveAs("Output.xlsx");
 
//Close the workbook and dispose the engine.
workbook.Close();
excelEngine.Dispose();
