Rotating Cell Text

Rotating Text in Cells

To rotate text in a cell on a worksheet, take the following steps:

  1. Create a workbook and get a worksheet.
  2. Add samples text.
  3. Format the text: rotate, add background colour.
  4. Save the file.

The code samples that follow show how to perform these steps first in VSTO, using either C# or Visual Basic, and then in Aspose.Cells, again using either C# or Visual Basic.

The code examples in this article give the output shown below. A cell with rotated text.

Rotating Text with VSTO

C#

 using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime;

using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

using Office = Microsoft.Office.Core;

using System.Reflection;

//Instantiate the Application object.

Excel.ApplicationClass ExcelApp = new Excel.ApplicationClass();

//Add a Workbook.

Excel.Workbook objBook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Add(System.Reflection.Missing.Value);

//Get the First sheet.

Excel.Worksheet objSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)objBook.Sheets["Sheet1"];

//Put some text into cell B2.

objSheet.Cells[2, 2] = "Aspose Heading";

//Define a range object(B2).

Excel.Range _range;

_range = objSheet.get_Range("B2", "B2");

//Specify the angle of rotation of the text.

_range.Orientation = 45;

//Set the background color.

_range.Interior.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToWin32(Color.FromArgb(0, 51, 105));

//Set the font color of cell text

_range.Font.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.White);



//Save the excel file.

objBook.SaveCopyAs("c:\\VSTO_RotateText_test.xlsx");

//Quit the Application.

ExcelApp.Quit();

Rotating Text with Aspose.Cells for .NET

C#

 // Instantiate a new Workbook.
 
 Workbook objworkbook = new Workbook();

// Get the First sheet.

Worksheet objworksheet = objworkbook.Worksheets[0];

// Get Cells.

Cells objcells = objworksheet.Cells;// Get a particular Cell.

Cell objcell = objcells["B2"];// Put some text value.

objcell.PutValue("Aspose Heading");



// Get associated style object of the cell.

Style objstyle = objcell.GetStyle();

// Specify the angle of rotation of the text.

objstyle.RotationAngle = 45;



// Set the custom fill color of the cells.

objstyle.ForegroundColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 51, 105);



// Set the background pattern for fill color.

objstyle.Pattern = BackgroundType.Solid;

// Set the font color of cell text

objstyle.Font.Color = Color.White;



// Assign the updated style object back to the cell

objcell.SetStyle(objstyle);



// Save the work book

objworkbook.Save("c:\\RotateText_test.xlsx");
