Borders.InsideHorizontalBorders Property

Provides access to an object that specifies all horizontal borders inside a cell range.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

Border InsideHorizontalBorders { get; }

Property Value

Type Description
Border

A Border object that specifies cell border characteristics.

Remarks

Use the Border.LineStyle and Border.Color properties of the object returned by InsideHorizontalBorders to set the line characteristics of all horizontal borders inside a range of cells simultanously. To specify the inside vertical borders of a cell range, use the Borders.InsideVerticalBorders property.

Note that assigning the InsideHorizontalBorders and Borders.InsideVerticalBorders properties for a single cell does not have an effect.

To specify any other cell borders (e.g., top, bottom, left, right, diagonal and outside borders), use corresponding properties and methods of the Borders object. Access this object via the Formatting.Borders property.

For examples on how to specify formatting 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.

Example

This example demonstrates how to specify different borders for individual cells and ranges of cells by modifying the Borders object.
