Set column width to scalable unit like em or percent with C++

Generating an HTML file from a spreadsheet is very common. The size of the columns is defined in “pt” which works in many cases. However, there can be a case where this fixed size may not be required. For example, if a container panel width is 600px where this HTML page is being displayed. In this case, you may get a horizontal scrollbar if the generated table width is bigger. It was required that this fixed size shall be changed into a scalable unit like em or percent to get a better presentation. Following sample code can be used where HtmlSaveOptions.GetWidthScalable() is set to true for creating scalable width.

Sample source file and output files can be downloaded from the following links:

sampleForScalableColumns.xlsx

outsampleForScalableColumns.zip

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"

using namespace Aspose::Cells;

int main()
{
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // Source directory path
    U16String srcDir(u"..\\Data\\01_SourceDirectory\\");

    // Output directory path
    U16String outDir(u"..\\Data\\02_OutputDirectory\\");

    // Load sample source file
    Workbook wb(srcDir + u"sampleForScalableColumns.xlsx");

    // Specify Html Save Options
    HtmlSaveOptions options;

    // Set the property for scalable width
    options.SetWidthScalable(true);

    // Specify image save format
    options.SetExportImagesAsBase64(true);

    // Save the workbook in Html format with specified Html Save Options
    wb.Save(outDir + u"outsampleForScalableColumns.html", options);

    std::cout << "Workbook saved successfully with scalable columns!" << std::endl;

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
