Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet
Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v24.2.Core.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| TableStyleCollection | A TableStyleCollection object containing table and pivot table styles. |
Remarks
The TableStyles property returns the collection of styles that you can apply to tables or pivot tables to change their appearance. An individual style is specified by the TableStyle object. To apply a style to a table, assign the required table style object to the Table.Style property. To apply a style to a pivot table, assign the required style object to the PivotTable.Style property. For details on how to format tables and pivot tables using styles, see the How to: Apply a Table Style to a Table and How to: Apply a Predefined Style to a Pivot Table examples.
By default, a workbook’s collection of styles contains Microsoft® Excel® built-in table and pivot table styles that can be obtained by their ids (members of the BuiltInTableStyleId and BuiltInPivotStyleId enumerations). Built-in styles cannot be deleted or modified. However, you can create your own custom styles, as well as duplicate, modify or delete them.
Example
This example demonstrates how to create a custom style to format tables.
Add a new table style to the
IWorkbook.TableStylescollection by calling the TableStyleCollection.Add method with the table style name passed as a parameter. This method returns the TableStyle object that represents the newly created table style. This object’s TableStyle.Name property is set to the specified name. Other settings are identical to the None table style (the default built-in table style that specifies no formatting for a table).Note
Note that table styles have unique names in the collection. To ensure that there is no table style under the specified name in the collection, use the TableStyleCollection.Contains method.
- Modify elements of the created table style (TableStyle.TableStyleElements) within the TableStyle.BeginUpdate and TableStyle.EndUpdate paired methods.
' Access a table.
Dim table As Table = worksheet.Tables(0)
Dim styleName As String = "testTableStyle"
' If the style under the specified name already exists in the collection,
If workbook.TableStyles.Contains(styleName) Then
' apply this style to the table.
table.Style = workbook.TableStyles(styleName)
Else
' Add a new table style under the "testTableStyle" name to the TableStyles collection.
Dim customTableStyle_Renamed As TableStyle = workbook.TableStyles.Add("testTableStyle")
' Modify the required formatting characteristics of the table style.
' Specify the format for different table elements.
customTableStyle_Renamed.BeginUpdate()
Try
customTableStyle_Renamed.TableStyleElements(TableStyleElementType.WholeTable).Font.Color = Color.FromArgb(107, 107, 107)
' Specify formatting characteristics for the table header row.
Dim headerRowStyle As TableStyleElement = customTableStyle_Renamed.TableStyleElements(TableStyleElementType.HeaderRow)
headerRowStyle.Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(64, 66, 166)
headerRowStyle.Font.Color = Color.White
headerRowStyle.Font.Bold = True
' Specify formatting characteristics for the table total row.
Dim totalRowStyle As TableStyleElement = customTableStyle_Renamed.TableStyleElements(TableStyleElementType.TotalRow)
totalRowStyle.Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(115, 193, 211)
totalRowStyle.Font.Color = Color.White
totalRowStyle.Font.Bold = True
' Specify banded row formatting for the table.
Dim secondRowStripeStyle As TableStyleElement = customTableStyle_Renamed.TableStyleElements(TableStyleElementType.SecondRowStripe)
secondRowStripeStyle.Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(234, 234, 234)
secondRowStripeStyle.StripeSize = 1
Finally
customTableStyle_Renamed.EndUpdate()
End Try
' Apply the created custom style to the table.
table.Style = customTableStyle_Renamed
End If
