Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

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

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

MarginType MarginType { get; set; }

VB.NET

Property MarginType As MarginType

Property Value

Type	Description
MarginType	An enumeration value that indicates the margin type.

Available values:

Name	Description
Normal	Normal margins
Mirrored	Mirrored margins.

Remarks

The MarginType property defines the margin type: regular or mirrored. Mirrored margins add extra space to inside and outside margins of facing pages to create a symmetrical appearance.

The SectionMargins.Gutter property specifies the mirror margin value. When the MarginsType property is set to Mirrored, the SectionMargins.GutterPosition property is ignored.

Example

The following code sample enables mirrored margins and specifies an additional space value:

C#

using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit;
using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native;
using DevExpress.Office.Utils;

using (var wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer())
{
    wordProcessor.LoadDocument(@"Documents//Alice.docx");

    Document document = wordProcessor.Document;

    // Enable mirrored margins
    document.MarginsType = MarginsType.Mirrored;

    foreach (Section section in wordProcessor.Document.Sections)
    {
        var pageMargins = section.Margins;

        // Set the value for mirrored margins
        pageMargins.Gutter = Units.InchesToDocumentsF(0.5f);
    }

    wordProcessor.SaveDocument("Alice_formatted.docx", DocumentFormat.OpenXml);   
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraRichEdit
Imports DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native
Imports DevExpress.Office.Utils

Using wordProcessor = New RichEditDocumentServer()
    wordProcessor.LoadDocument("Documents//Alice.docx")

    Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document

    ' Enable mirrored margins
    document.MarginsType = MarginsType.Mirrored

    For Each section As Section In wordProcessor.Document.Sections
        Dim pageMargins = section.Margins

        ' Set the value for mirrored margins
        pageMargins.Gutter = Units.InchesToDocumentsF(0.5F)
    Next section

    wordProcessor.SaveDocument("Alice_formatted.docx", DocumentFormat.OpenXml)
End Using
