Read Textbox and Write Data

[elcade00]

Hello Spire.Presentation friends!
Is it possible to write a variable to an existing textbox in a presentation slide?

For example, read a textbox names CustomerName and update it with a value from a form.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Please try the code below to read a textbox by name and update the text in it.

Code: Select all

            Presentation templatePresentation = new Presentation();
            templatePresentation.LoadFromFile("hello.pptx");
            var slide = templatePresentation.Slides[0];
            foreach(IShape shape in slide.Shapes)
            {
                if (shape.Name.Equals("CustomerName"))
                {
                    if (shape.IsTextBox)
                    {
                        IAutoShape autoShape = shape as IAutoShape;
                        autoShape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].Text = "Updated String";
                    }
                }
            }
            templatePresentation.SaveToFile("Test.pptx", Spire.Presentation.FileFormat.Pptx2013);
