How to apply/set text alignment to textbox

TextBoxes can improve the expressiveness of our documents and diagrams, and applying different alignments to different parts of a TextBox can help highlight points of interest to readers. But the default alignment of TextBox does not meet all our needs.For this, you may need to adjust each TextBox to meet your target requirements. If you don’t have a lot of TextBox objects to tweak, you’re in luck. If there are so many TextBoxes to adjust, I think you will be in trouble. Don’t worry now, Aspose.Cells provides such an API interface to help you do just that.

The following sample code applies text alignment to a TextBox.

from aspose.cells import TextAlignmentType, Workbook
from os import os, path

#  For complete examples and data files, please go to https:# github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-.NET
#  The path to the documents directory.
dataDir = ""
if notpath.isdir(dataDir):
    os.makedirs(dataDir)
# Instantiating a Workbook object
workbook = Workbook()
shapes = workbook.worksheets[0].shapes
# add a TextBox
shape = shapes.add_text_box(2, 0, 2, 0, 50, 120)
shape.text = "This is a test."
# set alignment
shape.text_horizontal_alignment = TextAlignmentType.CENTER
shape.text_vertical_alignment = TextAlignmentType.CENTER
# Save the excel file.
workbook.save(dataDir + "result.xlsx")

You can also change the text alignment of some text inside a TextBox shape with the appropriate HTML text.The following sample code applies the text alignment to partial text inside the TextBox.

source file

from aspose import pycore
from aspose.cells import Workbook
from aspose.cells.drawing import MsoDrawingType, TextBox

#  For complete examples and data files, please go to https:# github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-.NET
#  Intialize an object of the Workbook class to load template file
sourceWb = Workbook("SampleTextboxExcel2016.xlsx")
#  Access the target textbox whose text is to be aligned
sourceTextBox = sourceWb.worksheets[0].shapes[0]
#  Create and object of the target workbook
destWb = Workbook()
#  Access first worksheet from the collection
_sheet = destWb.worksheets[0]
# Create new textbox
_textBox = pycore.cast(TextBox, _sheet.shapes.add_shape(MsoDrawingType.TEXT_BOX, 1, 0, 1, 0, 200, 200))
#  Alternatively text box can be added using following line as well
#  TextBox _textBox = _sheet.Shapes.AddTextBox(1, 0, 1, 0, 200, 200);
#  Use Html string from a template file textbox
_textBox.html_text = sourceTextBox.html_text
#  Save the workbook on disc
destWb.save("Output.xlsx")
