TdxSpreadSheetCell.Style Property

Provides access to cell style settings.

Declaration

property Style: TdxSpreadSheetCellStyle read;

Property Value

Type	Description
TdxSpreadSheetCellStyle	Stores cell style settings.

Remarks

Cell style settings define cell appearance and behavior. Cell style settings at the level of individual cells have priority over the global cell style accessible through the DefaultCellStyle property of a Spreadsheet or Report Designer control.

Available Options

You can use Style.Brush and Style.Borders properties to change cell fill settings and the appearance of individual cell borders.

Refer to the TdxSpreadSheetCellStyle class description for detailed information on all available options.

Code Example

The following code example performs two batch operations at control and worksheet levels to change the default (document-wide) cell style, populate cells in the active worksheet, and apply a different style to the populated cells:

Delphi

var
  ATableView: TdxSpreadSheetTableView;
  ACell: TdxSpreadSheetCell;
  I, J: Integer;
begin
  ATableView := dxSpreadSheet1.ActiveSheetAsTable;  // Accesses the active worksheet

  // Change the spreadsheet document-wide cell style (the first batch operation)
  dxSpreadSheet1.BeginUpdate;  // Initiates the following batch change at the control level
  try
    dxSpreadSheet1.DefaultCellStyle.Brush.BackgroundColor := clWebLightBlue;
    dxSpreadSheet1.DefaultCellStyle.Brush.ForegroundColor := clWebLightGreen;
    dxSpreadSheet1.DefaultCellStyle.Brush.Style := sscfsDiagonalStrip;
    dxSpreadSheet1.DefaultCellStyle.Borders[bRight].Color := clLtGray;
    dxSpreadSheet1.DefaultCellStyle.Borders[bRight].Style := sscbsThin;
    dxSpreadSheet1.DefaultCellStyle.Borders[bBottom].Color := clLtGray;
    dxSpreadSheet1.DefaultCellStyle.Borders[bBottom].Style := sscbsThin;
  finally
    dxSpreadSheet1.EndUpdate;  // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
  end;

  // Create and populate 75 cells with random integer values (the second batch operation)
  Randomize;  // Initializes the random number generator
  ATableView.BeginUpdate;  // Initiates the following batch change at the worksheet level
  try
    for I := 0 to 14 do  // Iterates through 15 rows
      for J := 0 to 4 do  // Iterates through 5 columns
      begin
        ACell := ATableView.CreateCell(I, J);  // Creates a cell object
        ACell.AsInteger := Random(1000);  // Populates the created cell object with a random integer value
        // Customize cell style settings
        ACell.Style.Borders[bLeft].Color := clWhite;
        ACell.Style.Borders[bLeft].Style := sscbsDotted;
        ACell.Style.Borders[bBottom].Color := clWhite;
        ACell.Style.Borders[bBottom].Style := sscbsDotted;
        ACell.Style.Font.Style := [fsBold, fsItalic];
        ACell.Style.Font.Color := clWhite;
        ACell.Style.Brush.Style := sscfsRevDiagonalStrip;
        ACell.Style.Brush.BackgroundColor := clLime;
        ACell.Style.Brush.ForegroundColor := clGreen;
      end;
  finally
    ATableView.EndUpdate;  // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
  end;
end;
