Indicates whether special formatting should be applied to the first column of the table.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v18.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

bool ShowTableStyleFirstColumn { get; set; }

VB.NET

Property ShowTableStyleFirstColumn As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to apply special formatting to the first column of the table; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the ShowTableStyleFirstColumn property is set to true, the appearance of the table’s first column is specified by the following elements of the style applied to the table.

• TableStyleElementType.FirstColumn - The table style element of this type specifies the format of the cell range that contains the first column of the table.
• TableStyleElementType.FirstHeaderCell - The table style element of this type specifies the format of the first column’s header cell.
• TableStyleElementType.FirstTotalCell - The table style element of this type specifies the format of the first column’s total cell.

If the ShowTableStyleFirstColumn property is set to false, the first table is formated identically to the other columns of the table.

The following example demonstrates the creation of a table style with special formatting for the table’s first column and how to apply this formatting to the table.

C#

using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
// ...

TableStyle tableStyle = workbook.TableStyles[BuiltInTableStyleId.TableStyleLight15].Duplicate();

tableStyle.BeginUpdate();
try {
    TableStyleElements tbstElements = tableStyle.TableStyleElements;

    tbstElements[TableStyleElementType.FirstColumn].Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(248, 164, 94);
    tbstElements[TableStyleElementType.FirstColumn].Borders.SetAllBorders(Color.FromArgb(151, 71, 6), BorderLineStyle.Thin);
    tbstElements[TableStyleElementType.FirstHeaderCell].Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(252, 213, 180);
    tbstElements[TableStyleElementType.FirstTotalCell].Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(244, 117, 12);
}
finally {
    tableStyle.EndUpdate();
}

Table newTable = workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet.Tables.Add(spreadsheetControl1.Selection, true);
newTable.Style = tableStyle;

newTable.ShowTableStyleFirstColumn = true;

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Spreadsheet
' ...

Dim tableStyle As TableStyle = workbook.TableStyles(BuiltInTableStyleId.TableStyleLight15).Duplicate()

tableStyle.BeginUpdate()
Try
    Dim tbstElements As TableStyleElements = tableStyle.TableStyleElements

    tbstElements(TableStyleElementType.FirstColumn).Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(248, 164, 94)
    tbstElements(TableStyleElementType.FirstColumn).Borders.SetAllBorders(Color.FromArgb(151, 71, 6), BorderLineStyle.Thin)
    tbstElements(TableStyleElementType.FirstHeaderCell).Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(252, 213, 180)
    tbstElements(TableStyleElementType.FirstTotalCell).Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(244, 117, 12)
Finally
    tableStyle.EndUpdate()
End Try

Dim newTable As Table = workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet.Tables.Add(spreadsheetControl1.Selection, True)
newTable.Style = tableStyle

newTable.ShowTableStyleFirstColumn = True
