XlFormatting.Alignment Property
Gets or sets alignment options to be applied to the cell content.
Namespace: DevExpress.Export.Xl
Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v24.2.Core.dll
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| XlCellAlignment | An XlCellAlignment object that specifies cell alignment settings. |
Remarks
To align cell content, use the Alignment property of the XlCellFormatting object, which controls the format settings of worksheet cells. The XlCellAlignment object provides a set of properties you can use to align data contained within a cell (XlCellAlignment.HorizontalAlignment, XlCellAlignment.VerticalAlignment, XlCellAlignment.Indent, XlCellAlignment.WrapText, XlCellAlignment.TextRotation, etc.).
To apply alignment settings to a cell, assign the specified XlCellFormatting instance to the IXlCell.Formatting property or pass it to the IXlCell.ApplyFormatting method as a parameter, as shown in the example below. Note that the XlCellFormatting object supports implicit conversion from the XlCellAlignment object, so that you can directly apply alignment settings to a cell without using unnecessary cast operators. For more information on how to set different characteristics of cell alignment, refer to the How to: Align Cell Content topic.
Example
// Create a new document and begin to write it to the specified stream.
using (IXlDocument document = exporter.CreateDocument(stream)) {
// Specify formatting settings to be applied to document content.
XlCellFormatting formatting = new XlCellFormatting();
// Specify cell background color.
formatting.Fill = XlFill.SolidFill(XlColor.FromArgb(0xCE, 0x8B, 0xDA));
// Specify font settings (font name, color, size and style).
formatting.Font = new XlFont();
formatting.Font.Name = "MV Boli";
formatting.Font.SchemeStyle = XlFontSchemeStyles.None;
formatting.Font.Size = 16;
formatting.Font.Color = Color.Wheat;
formatting.Font.Bold = true;
// Specify the alignment of cell content.
formatting.Alignment = XlCellAlignment.FromHV(XlHorizontalAlignment.Center, XlVerticalAlignment.Center);
// Specify outside border settings.
formatting.Border = XlBorder.OutlineBorders(XlColor.FromArgb(0x47, 0x7B, 0xD1), XlBorderLineStyle.Thick);
// Create a new worksheet.
using (IXlSheet sheet = document.CreateSheet()) {
// Create the first column and set its width.
using (IXlColumn column = sheet.CreateColumn())
column.WidthInPixels = 180;
// Create the first row in the worksheet.
using (IXlRow row = sheet.CreateRow()){
// Create a cell and specify its format settings.
using (IXlCell cell = row.CreateCell())
{
cell.Value = "Custom Format";
cell.ApplyFormatting(formatting);
}
}
}
}
