Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrinting

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Printing.Core

Declaration

C#

public event CustomizeSheetSettingsEventHandler CustomizeSheetSettings

VB.NET

Public Event CustomizeSheetSettings As CustomizeSheetSettingsEventHandler

Remarks

The CustomizeSheetSettings event allows you to do the following:

• Add the AutoFilter button to cells in a specified range (CustomizeSheetEventArgs.ExportContext.AddAutoFilter).
• Anchor the output document’s header to the top and specify its fixed height (CustomizeSheetEventArgs.ExportContext.SetFixedHeader).

Note

The CustomizeSheetSettings event is not currently supported when exporting data from Advanced Banded Grid Views.

Example

This example handles the XlsxExportOptionsEx.CustomizeSheetSettings event to specify export settings for an XLSX document that originates from a Grid Control. The ExportContext.SetFixedHeader method is used to anchor the output document’s header to the top, and to set the fixed header height. The ExportContext.AddAutoFilter method adds the AutoFilter button to the column header cells.

Form1.cs

void options_CustomizeSheetSettings(CustomizeSheetEventArgs e) {
    // Anchor the output document's header to the top and set its fixed height. 
    const int lastHeaderRowIndex = 15;
    e.ExportContext.SetFixedHeader(lastHeaderRowIndex);
    // Add the AutoFilter button to the document's cells corresponding to the grid column headers.
    e.ExportContext.AddAutoFilter(new XlCellRange(new XlCellPosition(0, lastHeaderRowIndex), new XlCellPosition(5, 100)));
}

Form1.vb

Private Sub options_CustomizeSheetSettings(ByVal e As CustomizeSheetEventArgs)
    ' Anchor the output document's header to the top and set its fixed height. 
    Const lastHeaderRowIndex As Integer = 15
    e.ExportContext.SetFixedHeader(lastHeaderRowIndex)
    ' Add the AutoFilter button to the document's cells corresponding to the grid column headers.
    e.ExportContext.AddAutoFilter(New XlCellRange(New XlCellPosition(0, lastHeaderRowIndex), New XlCellPosition(5, 100)))
