Multiple columns in textboxes in presentation

[Timekeeper80]

Hi, I am using Spire for .Net in the latest version.
I have the requirement, to create a textbox with two columns.
All I can find is: shape.TextFrame.RightToLeftColumns = true;

But there is no option to change the textbox to two or more columns.

In PowerPoint in the UI the option is available, but I need to set it inside the code.
