Remove borderline of textbox in Excel chart in C#, VB.NET

There is an article in the tutorials which demonstrates how to insert textbox with contents in Excel. Sometime back, a user of Spire.XLS wanted to know if it is possible to remove the borderline of the textbox that has been inserted in Excel chart. Yes, of course. This article focuses on delivering a solution to this issue.

In the following section, we're going to create two textboxes in the same chart, one textbox is built with borderline, the other one without. Then we can learn how to remove borderline using Spire.XLS by comparison.

Code snippet for remove borderline of textbox:

Step 1: Create a new instance of workbook.

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.Version=ExcelVersion.Version2010;

Step 2: Create a new worksheet named "Remove Borderline" and add a chart to the worksheet.

Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
sheet.Name = "Remove Borderline";
Chart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();

Step 3: Create textbox1 in the chart and input text information.

chart.TextBoxes.AddTextBox(50, 50, 100, 500).ShapeType = ExcelShapeType.TextBox;
chart.TextBoxes[0].Text = "The original with borderline";

Step 4: Create textbox2 in the chart, input text information and remove borderline.

XlsTextBoxShape textbox = chart.TextBoxes.AddTextBox(500, 50, 100, 500) as XlsTextBoxShape;
textbox.Text = "The solution without borderline";
textbox.Line.Weight = 0;

Step 5: Save and launch the file.

workbook.SaveToFile("Sample.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2010);
Process.Start("Sample.xlsx");
