Customize changes styles Leave feedback
On this page
GroupDocs.Comparison provides compare options set with some default values that provides both - appropriate comparison speed and quality. However it is possible to customize comparison options from wide range of parameters and their values to fulfill some specific needs. Example below demonstrates how to change different changes types styling.
The following are the steps to compare two documents with custom change style settings:
- Instantiate Comparer object with source document path or stream;
- Call Add method and specify target document path or stream;
- Instantiate CompareOptions object with desired parameters;
- Call Compare method and pass CompareOptions object to method.
The following code snippet demonstrates how to compare documents with specific options.
using (Comparer comparer = new Comparer("source.docx"))
{
comparer.Add("target.docx");
CompareOptions compareOptions = new CompareOptions()
{
InsertedItemStyle = new StyleSettings()
{
HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red,
FontColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green,
IsUnderline = true,
IsBold = true,
IsStrikethrough = true,
IsItalic = true
},
DeletedItemStyle = new StyleSettings()
{
HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.Azure,
FontColor = System.Drawing.Color.Brown,
IsUnderline = true,
IsBold = true,
IsStrikethrough = true,
IsItalic = true
},
ChangedItemStyle = new StyleSettings()
{
HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.Crimson,
FontColor = System.Drawing.Color.Firebrick,
IsUnderline = true,
IsBold = true,
IsStrikethrough = true,
IsItalic = true
}
};
comparer.Compare("result.docx", compareOptions);
}
using (Comparer comparer = new Comparer(File.OpenRead("source.docx")))
{
comparer.Add(File.OpenRead("target.docx"));
CompareOptions compareOptions = new CompareOptions()
{
InsertedItemStyle = new StyleSettings()
{
HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red,
FontColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green,
IsUnderline = true,
IsBold = true,
IsStrikethrough = true,
IsItalic = true
},
DeletedItemStyle = new StyleSettings()
{
HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.Azure,
FontColor = System.Drawing.Color.Brown,
IsUnderline = true,
IsBold = true,
IsStrikethrough = true,
IsItalic = true
},
ChangedItemStyle = new StyleSettings()
{
HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.Crimson,
FontColor = System.Drawing.Color.Firebrick,
IsUnderline = true,
IsBold = true,
IsStrikethrough = true,
IsItalic = true
}
};
comparer.Compare(File.Create("result.docx"), compareOptions);
}
