Styles in Doc

[g.musial]

Hello.

1) Is there a way to create my own style from code and apply it to selected text ?
2) When I open an existing doc file, is there a way to check what style is used in selected text ?

Best regards,
Greg

Hello,Greg

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your patience with our reply.
If you want to apply your own styles from code to the selected text, you can try the following codes:

Code: Select all

            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile(@"..\..\Blank.docx", FileFormat.Docx);

            Section section = doc.Sections[0];
            Paragraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();

            TextRange txtRange = paragraph.AppendText("hello");

            //Font name
            txtRange.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Tahoma";

            //Font size
            txtRange.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 20;

            //Underline
            txtRange.CharacterFormat.UnderlineStyle = UnderlineStyle.DotDot;

            //Change text color
            txtRange.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Blue;

            doc.SaveToFile(@"Sample.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"Sample.docx");


You can also check the style is used in selected text like this:

Code: Select all

            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile(@"..\..\test.doc", FileFormat.Doc);
            for (int j = 0; j < doc.Sections.Count;j++)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < doc.Sections[0].Paragraphs.Count; i++)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(doc.Sections[j].Paragraphs[i].StyleName);
                }
            }
            Console.ReadKey();

Hello.

Thanks for your reply.
Your second example is very useful.

I've noticed that in code I can use only builtin styles for text formatting, like this:

Code: Select all

foreach (BuiltinStyle builtinStyle in Enum.GetValues(typeof(BuiltinStyle)))
            {
                paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
                //Append Text
                paragraph.AppendText(builtinStyle.ToString());
                //Apply Style
                paragraph.ApplyStyle(builtinStyle);
            }


But is there a way to create my own style from code and apply it to selected text ?
When I open created (in code) document I want to have my own style in styles list and use it for formatting text while editing.

Greg

You can create your own style and apply it as following code:

Code: Select all

            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile(@"..\..\Blank.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
            Section section = doc.Sections[0];
            ParagraphStyle myStyle = new ParagraphStyle(doc);
            myStyle.Name = "myStyle";
            myStyle.ParagraphFormat.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
            myStyle.ParagraphFormat.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
            doc.Styles.Add(myStyle);
            //use the style created
            Paragraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
            paragraph.AppendText("Free Style");
            paragraph.ApplyStyle(myStyle.Name);
            doc.SaveToFile(@"Sample.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"Sample.docx");
