How do I set the border color of a table cell. here is the code i have:
// create and define table var table = new PdfPTable(8); table.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER; //table.HeaderRows = 1; // the cell object PdfPCell cell; var f = FontFactory.GetFont("Tahoma", 11, Font.BOLD); cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Source Review", f)); cell.BorderColorLeft = new BaseColor(255, 255, 255); cell.BorderColorRight = new iTextSharp.text.BaseColor(255, 255, 255); table.AddCell(cell);
As you can see i am setting the color two different ways and neither way is working. When the table is rendered the border is always black. How can I fix this.
When you set individual cell border properties you either need to set all border colors and widths individually, or explicitly set the UseVariableBorders property to true
. Try this example to see what I mean:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1); PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("test 1")); cell.UseVariableBorders = true; cell.BorderColorLeft = BaseColor.BLUE; cell.BorderColorRight = BaseColor.ORANGE; table.AddCell(cell); cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("test 2")); cell.BorderColorLeft = BaseColor.RED; cell.BorderColorRight = BaseColor.GREEN; cell.BorderColorTop = BaseColor.PINK; cell.BorderColorBottom = BaseColor.YELLOW; cell.BorderWidthLeft = 1f; cell.BorderWidthRight = 1f; cell.BorderWidthTop = 1f; cell.BorderWidthBottom = 1f; table.AddCell(cell); cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("test 3")); cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.GREEN; table.AddCell(cell);
