Use transparent containers for each column.

Hi ,

Try this way , create a table with four columns ..

if your display values are in a variable "a" i.e String a[] = {"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k"};

use the below code to display the values

code: /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

int len = a.length;

for (int j = 0 ; j<3;j++)

{

ele = wdContext.node<table>().create<table>Element();

ele.setA(a[j]);

if(j+3 < len)

ele.setB(a[j+3]);

if(j+6 < len)

ele.setC(a[j+6]);

if(j+9 < len)

ele.setD(a[j+9]);

node.addElement(ele);

}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

modify the varibles according to youe req...

Hi Jyotsna,

Are you using a table?Can you be more detailed on your requirement?

Put all the elements of the matrix in the array.

Arrange in the ascending order.

Split it into four.

try with Matrix layout.

or use 4 transparent container, parent root container with GRID layout.

child 4 containers with grid layout 1 column.
