Example: Create and Add a Table to a Slide

Follow the steps below to create a table and add it to a slide:

• Create a Table object and specify the number of rows and columns in the Table constructor.
• Use the table’s X, Y, Width, and Height properties to set the table’s position and size on the slide. All these properties are measured in Document units (1/300 of an inch). You can also set these properties in a Table constructor.
• Add the table to the slide’s Shapes collection.
• Use the table’s indexer to access individual cells.
• Use the cell’s TextArea property to add text to the cell. Note that cells support only text content.

The following code snippet creates a 3x3 table, adds it to a slide, and populates the cells with text:

C#

using DevExpress.Docs.Presentation;

namespace PresentationApiSample;

public class Program {
    public static void Main(string[] _) {

        // Create an in-memory Presentation document
        Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
        presentation.Slides.Clear();

        // Create a blank slide and add it to the presentation
        Slide slide = new Slide(SlideLayoutType.Blank);
        presentation.Slides.Add(slide);

        // Create a 3x3 table (rows x columns), specify its position and size, and add the table as a shape to the slide
        Table table = new Table(3, 3);
        table.X = 10;
        table.Y = 10;
        table.Width = 2500;
        table.Height = 2000;
        slide.Shapes.Add(table);

        // Populate table cell text (row, column)
        for (int row = 0; row < 3; row++) {
            for (int column = 0; column < 3; column++) {
                table[row, column].TextArea.Text = $"({row}, {column})";
            }
        }

        // Export the presentation to PDF
        presentation.ExportToPdf(new FileStream(@"D:\\exported-document.pdf", FileMode.Create));

        // Save the presentation as a PPTX file
        FileStream outputStream = new FileStream(@"D:\\presentation.pptx", FileMode.Create);
        presentation.SaveDocument(outputStream, DocumentFormat.Pptx);
        outputStream.Dispose();
    }
}
