NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Color | A Color value that is the cell shading color. |
Remarks
To specify the cell background characteristics, use the Fill.BackgroundColor, Fill.PatternType and PatternColor properties of the Fill object.
Note that the PatternColor property influences a cell’s appearance if the cell background pattern is other than PatternType.Solid or PatternType.None.
To access the Fill object, use the Formatting.Fill property.
- To specify the background of an individual cell, access the Fill object using the cell’s Formatting.Fill property directly.
- To specify the background of a cell range, modify the Fill object within the CellRange.BeginUpdateFormatting - CellRange.EndUpdateFormatting method pair.
- To share the same background settings between multiple cells in one step, apply the style with the specified background to the required cells. To specify the cell style background, access the Style object from the IWorkbook.Styles collection and use this style’s Formatting.Fill property within the Formatting.BeginUpdate-Formatting.EndUpdate paired methods to access and modify the Fill object.
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.
To specify the cell font color, use the SpreadsheetFont.Color property of the SpreadsheetFont object accessed via the Formatting.Font property. For details, review the How to: Change Cell Font and Background Color example.
Example
The following example specifies font and background colors for an individual cell and cell range:
using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
using System.Drawing;
// ...
// Format an individual cell.
worksheet.Cells["A1"].Font.Color = Color.Red;
worksheet.Cells["A1"].FillColor = Color.Yellow;
// Format a cell range.
CellRange range = worksheet.Range["C3:D4"];
Formatting rangeFormatting = range.BeginUpdateFormatting();
rangeFormatting.Font.Color = Color.Blue;
rangeFormatting.Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.LightBlue;
rangeFormatting.Fill.PatternType = PatternType.LightHorizontal;
rangeFormatting.Fill.PatternColor = Color.Violet;
range.EndUpdateFormatting(rangeFormatting);
