Property Value

Type	Description
TdxSpreadSheetCellBrush	Stores cell background fill settings.

Remarks

Code Example: Populate Cells and Customize Cell Appearance

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;
