Hi Chris,

I think the MergeTableCells function will be exactly what you're looking for.

Hi - I am very familiar with how to do colspan and row span in HTML, just not how to implement the same in QuickPDF.

When I draw a table I use CreateTable and specify the columns and rows.

When I use SetTableCellContent I have to specify an actual column and row number, so effectively targetting a single cell?

When I use DrawTableRows it takes first row and last row as an argument.

I can't quite fathom out how I can merge cells across a row, or down a column?

and this you can do with the used html-code and the sample i've sent.

Hi Chris,

without detailed understanding what you mean:
Perhaps thinking about inserting html-table-code could be an idea?
Here's a sample:

I need to produce a document with some repeated sections where the information is presented in a table. Ideally I need to be able to emulate colspan so I can have a couple of rows that cut across all columns.

I don't think this is possible is it using the standard table functionality? Can I emulate it by placing 2 tables right on top of each other, or some other way? The content is truly dynamic so drawing lines etc could get very tricky!

I can see that colspan and rowspan would come in very handy, so if there are techniques to emulate this that would be great.

Thanks
