Table AutoFit is always set to ColumnWidth Value even thou Table is Autofitted properly

[PrzemyslawKlys]

Following code:

// Create a document.
      using( DocX document = DocX.Create( TableSample.TableSampleOutputDirectory + @"MergeCells.docx" ) )
      {
        // Add a title.
        document.InsertParagraph( "Merge and delete cells" ).FontSize( 15d ).SpacingAfter( 50d ).Alignment = Alignment.center;

        // Add A table .               
        var t = document.AddTable( 3, 2 );
        t.Design = TableDesign.TableGrid;

        var t1 = document.InsertTable( t );

        // Add 4 columns in the table.
        t1.InsertColumn( t1.ColumnCount, true );
        t1.InsertColumn( t1.ColumnCount, true );
        t1.InsertColumn( t1.ColumnCount, true );
        t1.InsertColumn( t1.ColumnCount, true );

        // Merged Cells 1 to 4 in first row of the table.
        t1.Rows[ 0 ].MergeCells( 1, 4 );

        // Merged the last 2 Cells in the second row of the table.
        var columnCount = t1.Rows[ 1 ].ColumnCount;
        t1.Rows[ 1 ].MergeCells( columnCount - 2, columnCount - 1 );

        // Add text in each cell of the table.
        foreach( var r in t1.Rows )
        {
          for( int i = 0; i < r.Cells.Count; ++i )
          {
            var c = r.Cells[ i ];
            c.Paragraphs[ 0 ].InsertText( "Column " + i );
            c.Paragraphs[ 0 ].Alignment = Alignment.center;
          }
        }
        t1.AutoFit = AutoFit.Contents;

        // Delete the second cell from the third row and shift the cells on its right by 1 to the left.
        t1.DeleteAndShiftCellsLeft( 2, 1 );

        document.Save();
        Console.WriteLine( "\tCreated: MergeCells.docx\n" );
      }

Even thou you set

t1.AutoFit = AutoFit.Contents;

Reading

t1.Tables[0].Autofit // always returns ColumnWidth 

Table formatting works properly thou.

Issue is reported in PSWriteWord - EvotecIT/PSWriteWord#8

Seems to be related to this:

If you remove this line document.Tables[0].Autofit changes to Contents. Most likely requires proper update instead of hardcoding.

Hi,

This is already fixed in v1.4 and up.
Commercial version (which is at v1.5) can be tested for free here : https://xceed.com/xceed-words-for-net/

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Setting table AutoFit property to AutoFit.Contents throws exception that index is out of range. Is this only included in payed version?

upd: this is not related to payed version, there is some kind of issue when applying AutoFit.Contents to the table of fixed size with appended row which contains merged cells. I've moved this assignment before calling merge on inserted row collumns and it worked just fine:

var t = document.AddTable(data.Patients.Select(p => p.ProvidedServices.Count).Sum() + 1, TableLayout.Headers.Count);//N*7
//Some data is added here...
//Appending final row
var r = t.InsertRow();
var totalPrice = data.Patients.SelectMany(p => p.ProvidedServices).Sum(s => s.Price).ToString();
r.Cells[5].Paragraphs[0].Append("some data:", new Formatting()
{
    Bold = true,
    FontFamily = new Font("Times New Roman"),
    Size = 12
});
r.Cells[6].Paragraphs[0].Append(totalPrice).Alignment = Alignment.center;
r.MergeCells(0, 5);//If this row is commented code works just fine.
t.AutoFit = AutoFit.Contents;//Crashes here with shown above exception.

Hi

This is a known issue for which a fix has been implemented. It will be available in version 2.6.
