Creating Borders with Diagonal Lines

You can create cell borders with diagonal lines as shown in the following image.

You can also display the diagonal lines in a cell border that is part of a shape as displayed in the following image.

The cell must have a border and the text orientation must not be zero. The EnableDiagonalLine property should also be set to true.

The ComplexBorder class also allows you to create diagonal border lines in the cell.

Using Code

Create a text cell.
Set the TextOrientation property.
Set the TextRotationAngle property.

Example

This example code creates a text cell with a diagonal border.
