Examples

Specify Export Settings

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)))
End Sub

Display Page Number in a Header

The following code snippet displays the current page number in the right header section:

C#

private void Options_CustomizeSheetSettings(DevExpress.Export.CustomizeSheetEventArgs e)
{
    e.Sheet.HeaderFooter.OddHeader = XlHeaderFooter.FromLCR(null, null, XlHeaderFooter.PageNumber);
}

VB.NET

Private Sub options_CustomizeSheetSettings(ByVal e As CustomizeSheetEventArgs)
  e.Sheet.HeaderFooter.OddHeader = XlHeaderFooter.FromLCR(null, null, XlHeaderFooter.PageNumber)
End Sub
