Table.TableBackgroundColor Property

Gets or sets the color of an empty space between cells.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

Declaration

Color TableBackgroundColor { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
Color

A Color that is the color of the background.

Remarks

By default, there is no empty space between cells. To specify a distance between cells, use the Table.TableCellSpacing property. The TableBackgroundColor is applied to an area around the cells with the width equal to double the Table.TableCellSpacing property value.

To change the cell background, use the TableCell.BackgroundColor property.

Important

The semi-transparent alpha component (i.e. the Color’s alpha parameter set to value less than 255) is reset to opaque (255) during export to all formats except PDF.
