I'm trying to set the background color of a text both either to a color, or to 100% transparent (whatever is easiest) but I'm struggling to achieve either.

I've tried "bgColor" as per some other elements but no luck :(

 $textbox = $section->addTextBox(
        array(
            'marginTop' => -100,
            'marginLeft' => -100,
            'posHorizontal' => 'absolute',
            'posVertical' => 'absolute',
            'align' => 'left',
            'positioning' => 'relative',
            'width'       => 200,
            'height'      => 40,
            'borderColor' => '#eeeeee',
            'borderSize'  => 0,
            'bgColor' => 'black',
        )
    );

FYI 'bgcolor' is not a correct property... use 'background-color' for instead of bgcolor... – saravanan
No luck with that unfortunately, although no other properties are hyphenated? – AdrianGW
Any idea did you find a solution ? Another question did Text box support border radius/ round ? – famas23

Try this

'fillColor' => 'black'

Or

'fillColor' => '#BFBFBF'

you can find all properties in PhpWord\Style\TextBox.php

Does anyone how to do this, also have this issue. The documentation has not been updated in years. AddTextBox doesnt exist on docs...

'fill'      => array('color' => '#990000'),
'bgColor'      => '#990000',
'backgroundColor'      => '#990000'

None of the above work.

For anyone looking for this answer here it goes:

There's no answer, textbox don't support any kind of background yet and looks like it wont. As this issue suggests you can achieve the same results in terms of design with a table with a single cell.
