Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes
This section lists public API changes that were introduced in Aspose.Words 18.5. It includes not only new and obsoleted public methods, but also a description of any changes in the behavior behind the scenes in Aspose. Words which may affect existing code. Any behavior introduced that could be seen as a regression and modifies existing behavior is especially important and is documented here.
Added Public Property StructuredDocumentTag.Color
This property allows to control the Color of a content control.
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the color of the structured document tag.
/// </summary>
public java.awt.color Color
The Color affects content control in two situations: \1) MSW highlights the background of the content control when the mouse moves over the content control. This helps user to identify that it is a content control. The color of highlighting is a bit “softer”, than the Color. For example, MSW highlights background with the pink color, when Color is Red. \2) When user interacts (editing, picking etc) with the content control, the border of content control is colored with the Color.
Example of use:
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "input.docx");
StructuredDocumentTag sdt = (StructuredDocumentTag)doc.getChild(NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG, 0, true);
sdt.setColor(Color.RED);
dataDir = dataDir + "SetContentControlColor_out.docx";
// Save the document to disk.
doc.save(dataDir);
Obsolete Property HtmlSaveOptions.ExportMetafileAsRaster was Removed
Obsolete property ExportMetafileAsRaster was removed from the HtmlSaveOptions class. Please use the HtmlSaveOptions.MetafileFormat property instead.
