XlCellAlignment.FromHV(XlHorizontalAlignment, XlVerticalAlignment) Method
Creates the XlCellAlignment object using the specified horizontal and vertical alignment settings.
Namespace: DevExpress.Export.Xl
Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v24.2.Core.dll
Declaration
public static XlCellAlignment FromHV(
XlHorizontalAlignment horizontalAlignment,
XlVerticalAlignment verticalAlignment
)Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| horizontalAlignment | XlHorizontalAlignment | An XlHorizontalAlignment enumeration member specifying how cell data should be horizontally aligned. |
| verticalAlignment | XlVerticalAlignment | An XlVerticalAlignment enumeration member specifying how cell data should be vertically aligned. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| XlCellAlignment | An XlCellAlignment class instance. |
Remarks
Use the FromHV method to create an instance of the XlCellAlignment class that specifies both horizontal and vertical alignment for a cell. To align data in a cell either horizontally or vertically, use the XlCellAlignment.HorizontalAlignment and XlCellAlignment.VerticalAlignment properties, respectively. Using the FromHV method automatically sets these properties to the values specified by the horizontalAlignment and verticalAlignment parameters.
You can also use other properties of the XlCellAlignment object to specify additional alignment characteristics for a cell (e.g., indent, text rotation, values indicating whether the text should be wrapped or shrunk in a cell).
To apply the specified alignment settings to a cell, pass the XlCellAlignment object to the IXlCell.ApplyFormatting method as a parameter, or assign it to the IXlCell.Formatting property.
For more information on how to align data contained in a cell, refer to the How to: Align Cell Content topic.
