How to Add Glow Effect to Text
- Download a C# library for adding a glow effect to text
- Apply the text effect to either newly created or existing text
- Configure the Glow object and assign it to the TextEffect object
- Assign it to the TextEffect property
- Export the edited Word document as a new file
Add Glow Effect
To specify the glow effect for the text, you can start by creating and configuring the Glow object. Then, create the TextEffect object from this Glow object. Finally, assign the TextEffect to the TextEffect property of the text.
using IronWord; // Import the necessary library
public class TextGlowEffectExample
{
public void ApplyGlowEffect()
{
// Initialize a new Glow object
Glow glow = new Glow();
// Set the properties for the glow effect
glow.GlowRadius = 5; // Radius of the glow effect
glow.GlowColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(128, 255, 0, 0); // ARGB value for the glow color
// Create a TextEffect object and assign the glow effect to it
TextEffect textEffect = new TextEffect();
textEffect.Glow = glow;
// Apply the TextEffect to the text
// Example: someTextElement.TextEffect = textEffect;
// Further code to export or display the document would go here
}
}using IronWord; // Import the necessary library
public class TextGlowEffectExample
{
public void ApplyGlowEffect()
{
// Initialize a new Glow object
Glow glow = new Glow();
// Set the properties for the glow effect
glow.GlowRadius = 5; // Radius of the glow effect
glow.GlowColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(128, 255, 0, 0); // ARGB value for the glow color
// Create a TextEffect object and assign the glow effect to it
TextEffect textEffect = new TextEffect();
textEffect.Glow = glow;
// Apply the TextEffect to the text
// Example: someTextElement.TextEffect = textEffect;
// Further code to export or display the document would go here
}
}
Glow Effect Properties
Below are all the glow effect properties and their descriptions:
- GlowRadius: Gets or sets the radius of the glow effect. The glow radius is specified in points (1/72 inch).
- GlowColor: Gets or sets the color of the glow effect.
Glow Effect Examples
Let's look at some more glow effect examples. The color of the glow effect can also accept ARGB values. The first value is alpha, which describes how opaque the color is.

What properties can be configured for the glow effect?
The properties for the glow effect include GlowRadius, which specifies the radius in points, and GlowColor, which sets the color of the glow effect.
Can I use ARGB values for the glow color?
Yes, ARGB values can be used to define the glow color, with the alpha value determining the opacity of the color.
Is it possible to apply the glow effect to existing text?
Yes, you can apply the glow effect to both newly created and existing text in your Word document.
What is the GlowRadius property?
GlowRadius is a property that specifies the radius of the glow effect in points, with 1 point equal to 1/72 of an inch.
What is the first step to add a glow effect using IronWord?
The first step is to download a C# library that allows you to add a glow effect to text.
How do I initialize a Glow object in C#?
In C#, a Glow object can be initialized with properties such as GlowRadius and GlowColor to define the effect.
What does the alpha value in ARGB represent?
The alpha value in ARGB represents the opacity of the color, affecting how transparent or opaque the glow effect appears.
How can I export a Word document after applying a glow effect?
After applying the glow effect, you can export the edited Word document as a new file using the appropriate methods from the IronWord library.
