Writing a table without a Border to Word with Poi

[louisa2012]

Hello :-)

I will write a table to Word with the framework poi.
From another webside I found an example of this. But unfortunately I don't know how to remove the border of the table.

Did anyone have an idea?

Best regards,

louisa.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

		XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument();

		// Create a new table with 6 rows and 3 columns
		int nRows = 2;
		int nCols = 5;
		XWPFTable table = document.createTable(nRows, nCols);


		CTTblPr tablePr = table.getCTTbl().getTblPr();
		CTString styleTable = tablePr.addNewTblStyle();
		styleTable.setVal("meinStyle");

		// Get a list of the rows in the table
		List<XWPFTableRow> rows = table.getRows();
		int rowCt = 0;
		int colCt = 0;

		// ueber die Zeilen iterieren
		for (XWPFTableRow row : rows) {
			CTTrPr rowProperties = row.getCtRow().addNewTrPr();
			CTHeight rowHeight = rowProperties.addNewTrHeight();
			rowHeight.setVal(BigInteger.valueOf(360));

			// get the cells in this row
			List<XWPFTableCell> cells = row.getTableCells();

			// iteriere ueber die Zellen
			for (XWPFTableCell cell : cells) {
				CTTcPr cellPropertie = cell.getCTTc().addNewTcPr();
				CTVerticalJc verticalCell = cellPropertie.addNewVAlign();
				verticalCell.setVal(STVerticalJc.CENTER);

				CTShd ctshd = cellPropertie.addNewShd();
				ctshd.setColor("auto");
				ctshd.setVal(STShd.CLEAR);
				if (rowCt == 0) {
					// header row
					ctshd.setFill("A7BFDE");
				} else if (rowCt % 2 == 0) {
					// even row
					ctshd.setFill("D3DFEE");
				} else {
					// odd row
					ctshd.setFill("EDF2F8");
				}

				// get 1st paragraph in cell's paragraph list
				XWPFParagraph para = cell.getParagraphs().get(0);

				XWPFRun rh = para.createRun();
				// style cell as desired

				rh.setFontSize(5);
				rh.setFontFamily("Courier");
				para.setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);

				if (rowCt == 0) {
					// header row
					rh.setText("header row, col " + colCt);
				} else if (rowCt % 2 == 0) {
					// even row
					rh.setText("row " + rowCt + ", col " + colCt);
				} else {
					// odd row
					rh.setText("row " + rowCt + ", col " + colCt);
				}
				colCt++;
			} // for cell
			colCt = 0;
			rowCt++;
		} // for row

		// write the file

		FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("D:/styledTable1.doc");
		document.write(out);
		out.close();
	}

XWPFTable has some methods that deal with border types.

[louisa2012]

thats true. I try it with the following in Row 51:

para.setBorderBottom(Borders.NONE);
para.setBorderLeft(Borders.NONE);
para.setBorderRight(Borders.NONE);
para.setBorderTop(Borders.NONE);

But it doesnt work, I still see the borders in the word document

[louisa2012]

Very good, now I paste only this Rows to my programm:

XWPFTable table = document.createTable(nRows, nCols);
table.setInsideHBorder(XWPFBorderType.NONE, 10, 5, "1C7331");
table.setInsideVBorder(XWPFBorderType.NONE, 10, 5, "1C7331");

But the border outside are still there. Only the bordes outside are hidden.

So I search for this solution....

Thank you....

Here is my solution. I use a window document which Iam import to my programm. This Word-Document already have an empty table without border and fill it in the programm:

private void adText2Table(XWPFDocument doc, String text, int row, int cell, int tableIdx) {

		XWPFTableRow xWPFTableRow;
		XWPFTable table = doc.getTables().get(tableIdx);
		List<XWPFTableRow> zeile = table.getRows();

		if (zeile.size() >= row + 1) {
			xWPFTableRow = zeile.get(row);
		} else {
			xWPFTableRow = doc.getTables().get(tableIdx).createRow();
		}

		xWPFTableRow.getCell(cell).setText(text);
