Row

Alignment.WrapText Property

Indicates whether the text contained in a cell is wrapped into multiple lines.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

bool WrapText { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

true, if the cell text should be wrapped; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the WrapText property to wrap the cell text into lines. This fits the cell content to the column width and prevents displaying it over adjacent cells. If the wrapped text is not completely visible within the cell, you can allow automatic adjustment of the row height to the cell content via the Row.AutoFit method.

To set other alignment characteristics for a cell or range of cells (e.g., horizontal and vertical alignment type, indent, text rotation, a value indicating whether the text should be shrunk in a cell), use the corresponding properties of the Alignment object. Access this object via the Formatting.Alignment property.

For examples on how to specify the format for an individual cell and cell range, or modify a style, refer to the How to: Format a Cell or Range of Cells or How to: Create or Modify a Style document, respectively.

Example

This example demonstrates how to specify the alignment of cell content so the cells appear as on the image below:

Spreadsheet_AlignmentSettings

View Example

Cell cellA1 = worksheet.Cells["A1"];
cellA1.Value = "Right and top";
cellA1.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Right;
cellA1.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Top;

Cell cellA2 = worksheet.Cells["A2"];
cellA2.Value = "Center";
cellA2.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Center;
cellA2.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Center;

Cell cellA3 = worksheet.Cells["A3"];
cellA3.Value = "Left and bottom, indent";
cellA3.Alignment.Indent = 1;

Cell cellB1 = worksheet.Cells["B1"];
cellB1.Value = "The Alignment.ShrinkToFit property is applied";
cellB1.Alignment.ShrinkToFit = true;

Cell cellB2 = worksheet.Cells["B2"];
cellB2.Value = "Rotated Cell Contents";
cellB2.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Center;
cellB2.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Center;
cellB2.Alignment.RotationAngle = 15;

Cell cellB3 = worksheet.Cells["B3"];
cellB3.Value = "The Alignment.WrapText property is applied to wrap the text within a cell";
cellB3.Alignment.WrapText = true;
