Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

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

VB.NET

ReadOnly Property Font As SpreadsheetFont

Property Value

Type	Description
SpreadsheetFont	A SpreadsheetFont object providing properties to change cell font attributes.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a custom style to format tables.

1. Add a new table style to the IWorkbook.TableStyles collection 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.

2. Modify elements of the created table style (TableStyle.TableStyleElements) within the TableStyle.BeginUpdate and TableStyle.EndUpdate paired methods.
