XlCellAlignment.VerticalAlignment Property
Gets or sets the vertical alignment of the cell content.
Namespace: DevExpress.Export.Xl
Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v24.2.Core.dll
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| XlVerticalAlignment | An XlVerticalAlignment enumeration member specifying how cell data should be vertically aligned. |
Available values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Top | The cell content is vertically aligned at the top. |
| Center | The cell content is centered vertically. |
| Bottom | The cell content is vertically aligned at the bottom. |
| Justify | The cell content is vertically justified. |
| Distributed | The text is vertically distributed across the cell height. |
Remarks
Use the VerticalAlignment property to specify the position of the cell content between the top and bottom borders of a cell. The XlCellAlignment.HorizontalAlignment property allows you to align data between the cell’s left and right borders. You can also use the static XlCellAlignment.FromHV method to define both horizontal and vertical alignment of cell data at the same time.
To set other alignment characteristics for an individual cell (e.g., indent, text rotation, values indicating whether the text should be wrapped and shrunk in a cell), use the corresponding properties of the XlCellAlignment object.
To apply the alignment settings to a cell, pass the specified 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.
