Hi, does anyone know the status on the ability to create tables with
HSLF? I think this question was last asked by Prashanth Bhat and
answered by Yegor Kozlov on Oct 24, 2006. I can create a ShapeGroup
with TextBoxes and it looks like a table, but it doesn't act like a
table.
Also, I tried importing a PPT with a preexisting table (created with
PowerPoint) and I ran into a problem; I tried looping through all the
TextBoxes and writing into it, and it turned out that if I wrote into
more than 22 TextBoxes, I would get this message when I tried to open
the PPT file:
"PowerPoint was unable to display some of the text, images, or objects
on slides in the file, filename.ppt, because they have become
corrupted. Effected slides have been replaced by blank slides…"
When the PPT opens, I just get a blank slide. If I only write into 22
TextBoxes or less, it works fine. No Exceptions are being thrown or
anything, there is only a problem when I open the PPT file. Also, it
seems to be only possible to edit a TextBox if it has text in it
already. So I created my Table with a single zero (0) in each cell.
Here is a code snippet of what I am doing:
//aShapeGroup is a table created in PowerPoint with 52 cells, 13x4
org.apache.poi.hslf.model.Shape[] shg = aShapeGroup.getShapes();
//replace shg.length with 22 and 23 to test. 22 or less will work, 23
or greater will not.
for(int i=0; i < shg.length; i++) {
if
(shg[i].getClass().getName().equals("org.apache.poi.hslf.model.TextBox")) {
//all this does it write the index into the TextBox
tb.setText(String.valueOf(i));
}
}
