Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v19.1.Core.dll

Declaration

ShapeVerticalAlignment VerticalAlignment { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
ShapeVerticalAlignment

‘A ShapeHorizontalAlignment enumeration member that specifies the shape’s vertical position.

Remarks

The shape can be positioned horizontally relative to the area specified by the Shape.RelativeVerticalPosition. If the alignment is set to ShapeVerticalAlignment.None, the shape is positioned at a distance explicitly specified in the Shape.Offset property.

This example moves a floating object to a position where its upper left corner is located at 4.5 cm to the right of the left margin and 2 cm below the top margin.

Document document = server.Document;
document.LoadDocument("Documents\\Grimm.docx", DocumentFormat.OpenXml);
document.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Centimeter;
Shape myPicture = document.Shapes[1];
// Clear the qualitative positioning to allow positioning by specifying the numerical offset. 
myPicture.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.None;
myPicture.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.None;
// Specify the reference item for positioning.
myPicture.RelativeHorizontalPosition = ShapeRelativeHorizontalPosition.LeftMargin;
myPicture.RelativeVerticalPosition = ShapeRelativeVerticalPosition.TopMargin;
// Specify the offset value.
myPicture.Offset = new System.Drawing.PointF(4.5f, 2.0f);
