Sample code

This example demonstrates adding a table to a new PDF document. Self in this case refers a DesktopWindow implementing the PDFTableDataSource methods:

Var d As New PDFDocument
Var tTable As New PDFTable

tTable.ColumnCount = 3
tTable.ColumnWidths = "150,150,150"
tTable.DataSource = Self
tTable.HasRepeatingHeader = True

d.AddTable(tTable, 20, 20)

The following shows the implementation of the interface in Window1:

Public Function AddNewRow(rowCount As Integer) As Boolean
  ' Part of the PDFTableDataSource interface.
  Return rowCount < 100
End Function

Public Function HeaderHeight() As Double
  ' Part of the PDFTableDataSource interface.
  Return 30
End Function

Public Sub PaintHeaderContent(g As Graphics, column As Integer)
  ' Part of the PDFTableDataSource interface.

  Var c As Color

  Select Case Column
  Case 0
    c = Color.Red
  Case 1
    c = Color.Green
  Case 2
    c = Color.Blue
  End Select

  g.DrawingColor = c
  g.FillRectangle(0, 0, g.Width, g.Height)

  Var s As String = "Column: " + Column.ToString

  Var x, y As Double
  x = (g.Width / 2) - (g.TextWidth(s) / 2)
  y = (g.Height / 2) + (g.TextHeight / 2)

  g.DrawingColor = Color.Black
  g.DrawText(s, x, y)
End Sub

Public Sub PaintCell(g As Graphics, row As Integer, column As Integer)
  ' Part of the PDFTableDataSource interface.

  g.DrawingColor = Color.Black
  g.DrawRectangle(0, 0, g.Width, g.Height)

  Var s As String = "row: " + row.ToString + " column: " + Column.ToString
  Var h As Double = g.Height / 2 + g.TextHeight / 2
  g.DrawText(s, 5, h)

End Function

Public Function RowHeight() As Double
  ' Part of the PDFTableDataSource interface.
  return 25
End Function
