TX Text Control has strong document processing capabilities beyond simple text editing. It can simplify the creation and manipulation of tables within documents. This makes it very useful to automate documents like banking statements and reports right within your application.

Users can easily insert tables, modify their structure, adjust row and column sizes, and apply formatting to table cells programmatically. This level of control is crucial for managing financial documents. It helps present structured data clearly and professionally.

This article shows the powerful table features in TX Text Control. It also shows the many ways they can improve your document processing in C#.

The following programming categories are discussed in this article:

Tables - TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms:

Adding Tables

Start by inserting a simple table through the provided code snippet using the Table class.

// Set table identifier. 
int tableID = 10;  

// Add a new table with number of rows and columns. 
textControl1.Tables.Add(2, 5, tableID); 

// Retrieve the newly added table using the tableID. 
TXTextControl.Table table = textControl1.Tables.GetItem(tableID);

Result:

Formatting TableCells

In any banking statement, it's essential to add header text to tables for displaying transaction details. Handle and format these headers using TableCell and TableCellFormat classes in TX Text Control.

// Initialize table headers. 
string[] headers = { "Date", "Description", "Credit", "Debit", "Balance" }; 

for (int i = 1; i <= headers.Length; i++) 
{ 
  // Assign header text to each cell in the first row. 
  table.Cells.GetItem(1, i).Text = headers[i - 1]; 

  // Retrieve and select the cell for formatting. 
  TableCell cell = table.Cells.GetItem(1, i); 

  cell.Select(); 

  // Center align the text and set it to bold. 
  textControl1.Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = TXTextControl.HorizontalAlignment.Center; 
  textControl1.Selection.Bold = true; 

  // Change the text color. 
  textControl1.Selection.ForeColor = Color.Navy; 
}

Result:

Now that the table headers have content, use the TableCellFormat class to improve their visual appeal by formatting the background color and border width.

// Create a new TableCellFormat object to apply formatting. 
TXTextControl.TableCellFormat myCellFormat = new TXTextControl.TableCellFormat(); 

// Set the background color. 
myCellFormat.BackColor = Color.LightGray; 

// Specify a bottom border width. 
myCellFormat.BottomBorderWidth = 50; 

// Apply the formatting. 
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) 
{ 
  table.Cells.GetItem(1, i).CellFormat = myCellFormat; 
}

Result:

Conclusion

Above are a few properties of the TableCellFormat class used for formatting table cells. However, many more are available to customize and automate documents based on your needs. Refer to the image below for further possibilities:
