TdxSpreadSheetCustomBrush.Style Property

Specifies the cell background fill pattern.

Declaration

property Style: TdxSpreadSheetCellFillStyle read; write;

Property Value

Type	Description
TdxSpreadSheetCellFillStyle	The cell background fill pattern.

Remarks

Use the Style property to switch between available cell background fill patterns. BackgroundColor and ForegroundColor properties specify base fill and pattern colors, respectively.

Refer to the TdxSpreadSheetCellFillStyle type description for the full list of available cell fill patterns.

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;

  TdxSpreadSheetTableView *ATableView;
  TdxSpreadSheetCell *ACell;
  // ...
  ATableView = dxSpreadSheet1->ActiveSheetAsTable;  // Accesses the active worksheet

  // Change the spreadsheet document-wise 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;

  }
  __finally
  {
    dxSpreadSheet1->EndUpdate();  // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
  }

  // Create and populate 75 cells with random integer values (the second batch operation)
  Randomize();  // Initializes the random number generator
  ATableView->BeginUpdate();
  try
  {
    for(int i = 0; i < 15; i++)  // Iterates through 15 rows
      for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++)  // Iterates through 5 columns
      {
        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 = TFontStyles() << fsBold << fsItalic;
        ACell->Style->Font->Color = clWhite;
        ACell->Style->Brush->Style = sscfsRevDiagonalStrip;
        ACell->Style->Brush->BackgroundColor = clLime;
        ACell->Style->Brush->ForegroundColor = clGreen;
      }
  }
  __finally

    ATableView->EndUpdate();  // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
