Table cell text bold

stefan.hofer — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 07:39:01 GMT

I have my Table:

AcadTable acTable = new AcadTable();
acTable = thisDrawing.PaperSpace.AddTable(insertPoint, rows, columns, defaultRowHeight, defaultColumnWidth);
acTable.SetTextHeight((int)AcRowType.acTitleRow, 3);
acTable.SetTextHeight((int)AcRowType.acHeaderRow, 2);
acTable.SetTextHeight((int)AcRowType.acDataRow, 2);
acTable.SetTextStyle((int)AcRowType.acTitleRow, "Arial");
acTable.SetTextStyle((int)AcRowType.acHeaderRow, "Arial");
acTable.SetTextStyle((int)AcRowType.acDataRow, "Arial");
acTable.RowHeight = defaultRowHeight;
acTable.Layer = "0";

and can change the text color:

acTable.SetCellContentColor(currentRow, currentColumn, (AcadAcCmColor)myColor);

How can i make the text from a cell or column BOLD ?

Hi,

It seems to me you're using the COM/ActiveX API, so all available methods for the AcadTable object ar described >>here<<.

As far as I know, the only way is to force the mtext using format code (see >>here<<😞

acTable.SetTextString(currentRow, currentColumn, 0, "{\\fArial|b1|i0;Your text here);

Hi,

Maybe one solution is to wrap the string with the bold codes like this:

"{\\fArial|b1|i0|c0|p34;" MyString "}"

I tried this:

string myString = "BoldText";
acTable.SetTextString(currentRow, currentColumn, 0, "{\\fArial|b1|i0|c0|p34;" + myString + "}");
//and
acTable.SetText(currentRow, currentColumn, "{\\fArial|b1|i0|c0|p34;" + myString + "}");
//and
acTable.SetCellValue(currentRow, currentColumn, "{\\fArial|b1|i0|c0|p34;" + myString + "}");

all give me no bold text. It's the normal arial font like in all other cells.

Forget my last post, it works fine.

I changed the wrong part in my code....

This works for me:

string yourString = "NormalText";
acTable.SetTextString(currentRow, currentColumn, 0, yourString);
currentRow++;
yourString = "BoldText";
acTable.SetTextString(currentRow, currentColumn, 0, "{\\fArial|b1|c0;" + yourString + "}");
