I am trying to make a TextBox locked by using OpenXML SDK. I've tried this method but the TextBox NoTextEdit is not working.
public DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.Shape GenerateShape(string StrText)
{
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.Shape shape1 = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.Shape();
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.NonVisualShapeProperties nonVisualShapeProperties1 = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.NonVisualShapeProperties();
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.NonVisualDrawingProperties nonVisualDrawingProperties1 = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.NonVisualDrawingProperties() { Id = (UInt32Value)3U, Name = "ID",Hidden=true ,Description="Do not Remove" ,MCAttributes=null };
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.NonVisualShapeDrawingProperties nonVisualShapeDrawingProperties1 = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.NonVisualShapeDrawingProperties();
Drawing.ShapeLocks shapeLocks1 = new Drawing.ShapeLocks() { NoTextEdit = true, NoGrouping = true,NoMove=true,NoSelection=true,NoEditPoints=true ,NoAdjustHandles=true ,NoRotation=true,NoChangeArrowheads=true,NoChangeAspect=true,NoChangeShapeType=true,NoResize=true};
nonVisualShapeDrawingProperties1.Append(shapeLocks1);
ApplicationNonVisualDrawingProperties applicationNonVisualDrawingProperties1 = new ApplicationNonVisualDrawingProperties();
PlaceholderShape placeholderShape1 = new PlaceholderShape() { Type = PlaceholderValues.SubTitle, Index = (UInt32Value)1U };
applicationNonVisualDrawingProperties1.Append(placeholderShape1);
nonVisualShapeProperties1.Append(nonVisualDrawingProperties1);
nonVisualShapeProperties1.Append(nonVisualShapeDrawingProperties1);
nonVisualShapeProperties1.Append(applicationNonVisualDrawingProperties1);
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.ShapeProperties shapeProperties1 = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.ShapeProperties();
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.TextBody textBody1 = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Presentation.TextBody();
Drawing.BodyProperties bodyProperties1 = new Drawing.BodyProperties();
Drawing.ListStyle listStyle1 = new Drawing.ListStyle();
Drawing.TextShape shp = new Drawing.TextShape();
Drawing.Paragraph paragraph1 = new Drawing.Paragraph();
Drawing.EndParagraphRunProperties endParagraphRunProperties1 = new Drawing.EndParagraphRunProperties() { Language = "en-US" ,Dirty=false };
paragraph1.Append(GenerateRun(StrText));
paragraph1.Append(endParagraphRunProperties1);
textBody1.Append(bodyProperties1);
textBody1.Append(listStyle1);
textBody1.Append(paragraph1);
shape1.Append(nonVisualShapeProperties1);
shape1.Append(shapeProperties1);
shape1.Append(textBody1);
return shape1;
}
public Drawing.Run GenerateRun(string StrText)
{
Drawing.Run run1 = new Drawing.Run();
Drawing.RunProperties runProperties1 = new Drawing.RunProperties() { Language = "en-US", Dirty = false };
runProperties1.SetAttribute(new OpenXmlAttribute("", "smtClean", "", "0"));
Drawing.Text text1 = new Drawing.Text();
text1.Text = StrText;
Drawing.SolidFill solidFill2 = new Drawing.SolidFill();
Drawing.SchemeColor schemeColor = new Drawing.SchemeColor();
string y = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent.ToArgb().ToString("X");
Drawing.RgbColorModelHex rgbColorModelHex2 = new Drawing.RgbColorModelHex() { Val = "FFFFFF" };//Set Font-Color to Blue (Hex "0070C0").
solidFill2.Append(rgbColorModelHex2);
runProperties1.Append(solidFill2);
Color color = new Color() { Val = "365F91", ThemeColor = ThemeColorValues.Accent1, ThemeShade = "BF" };
run1.Append(runProperties1);
run1.Append(text1);
return run1;
}
Everything works fine except editing. Still the user can edit the TextBox values by double clicking it. How can I avoid this ?
Is there any permanent solution to prevent editing ? Please help me to find a better solution.
Thanks in advance
By researching and communications with the MVP team I've pointed out that there is no way to Protect the TextBox from editing. As Cindy Meister mentioned in the comments,
Are you able to do it in the PowerPoint application user interface? If not, then Open XML cannot do it... If yes, you can.
If you do not want to text to be changed , Just change it as image then lock that by using NoSelection=true/1 and NoMove=true/1 properties. If you enable these properties the user can't either delete nor change it's position.
