Fill a table inside specified rectangle

Let's say I have a rectangle and I want to fill a table inside of it.

The below is the code snippet I wrote.....

 

Table tb = new Table();
tb.NumColumns = 5;
tb.NumRows = 40;
tb.SetRowHeight(C_height / 40);
tb.SetColumnWidth(C_width / 5);
tb.Position = new Point3d(ext.MaxPoint.X, total_MaxPoint.Y, 0);
tb.Width = C_width;
tb.Height = C_height;
tb.SetTextHeight(C_height / 40, (int)RowType.DataRow);
tb.HorizontalCellMargin = 0;
tb.VerticalCellMargin = 0;

btr.AppendEntity(tb);
tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tb, true);

 

Where C_width and C_height are the width and height of the rectangle respectively.

Then, I got the following

 

table.PNG

 

The red line is the specified rectangle. It seems like SetRowHeight and SetColumnWidth are not working.

FYI, the rectangle size is around width = 3.5m height = 5m.

 

Am I doing something wrong???

 

Thank you in advance.

Try this scratch, just change table position by calculus of upper left corner 

Also I used syntax for table in A2010, in other release it may be different

        [CommandMethod("rct", CommandFlags.Modal)]
        public void CreateTableByRectangle()
        {
            // based on code written by Kean Walmsley     
            Document doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Database db = doc.Database;

                       PromptPointOptions ppo = new PromptPointOptions("\nFirst corner: ");
            PromptPointResult ppr = ed.GetPoint(ppo);
            if (ppr.Status != PromptStatus.OK) return;
            PromptCornerOptions pco = new PromptCornerOptions("\nOther corner: ", ppr.Value);
            PromptPointResult pcr = ed.GetCorner(pco);
            if (pcr.Status != PromptStatus.OK) return;
            Point3d p1 = ppr.Value;
            Point3d p2 = pcr.Value;
            if (p1.X == p2.X || p1.Y == p2.Y)
            {
                ed.WriteMessage("\nInvalid coordinate specification");
                return;

            pio.Message = "\nEnter the number of rows: ";

            // Restrict input to positive and non-negative values
            pio.AllowZero = false;
            pio.AllowNegative = false;
            // Add default value
            pio.DefaultValue = 10;
            pio.AllowNone = true;

Thank you.

I am using Object ARX 2007.

And it looks like 2007 does not support CellRange class and Rows, Columns, and Cells properties.

 

So this is what I tried...

 

using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{

	BlockTableRecord btr = (BlockTableRecord)tr.GetObject(db.CurrentSpaceId, OpenMode.ForWrite);
	Table tbl = new Table();
	tbl.Width = wid;
	tbl.Height = hgt;
	//tbl.TableStyle = db.Tablestyle;
	ppo.Message = "\nPick a table position: ";
	Point3d pt = ed.GetPoint(ppo).Value;
	tbl.Position = pt;
	//TableStyle ts = (TableStyle)tr.GetObject(tbl.TableStyle, OpenMode.ForRead);
	double row_height = hgt / row_num;
	double col_width = wid / col_num;
	double textht = row_height * 0.8;

	tbl.SetRowHeight(row_height);
	tbl.SetColumnWidth(col_width);
	//insert rows          
	tbl.InsertRows(1, row_height, row_num - 1);
	// insert columns           
	tbl.InsertColumns(1, col_width, col_num - 1);// first column is already exist, thus we'll have 3 columns

	for (int r = 0; r < row_num; r++)
	{
		for (int c = 0; c < col_num; c++)
		{
			tbl.SetTextHeight(r, c, textht);
		}
	}

	tbl.GenerateLayout();
	btr.AppendEntity(tbl);
	tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tbl, true);
	tr.Commit();
}

 

And this is what I got when the rectangle is big enough...

Almost fit into the rectangle... Except the last row...

 

But this is what I get when the rectangle is small....

Is there some kind of minimum size of a cell???

Hmmmm......
