Gets or sets the cell content indention from the cell edge, dependent on the applied horizontal alignment.
Namespace : DevExpress.Spreadsheet
Assembly : DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v25.2.Core.dll
NuGet Package : DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core
int Indent { get; set; }
Property Indent As Integer
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 |
An integer value that specifies a space between the cell content and cell edge. An indent increment is equal to three spaces of the Normal style font.
|
The Indent property value is applied as described below.
To set other alignment characteristics for a cell or range of cells (for example, horizontal and vertical alignment, text rotation, a value indicating whether the text should be wrapped and shrunk in a cell), use the corresponding properties of the Alignment object. Access this object via the Formatting.Alignment property.
For examples on how to specify formatting for an individual cell and cell range or modify a style, refer to the How to: Format a Cell or Range of Cells or How to: Create or Modify a Style documents, respectively.
This example demonstrates how to specify the alignment of cell content so the cells appear as on the image below:
Cell cellA1 = worksheet.Cells["A1"];
cellA1.Value = "Right and top";
cellA1.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Right;
cellA1.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Top;
Cell cellA2 = worksheet.Cells["A2"];
cellA2.Value = "Center";
cellA2.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Center;
cellA2.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Center;
Cell cellA3 = worksheet.Cells["A3"];
cellA3.Value = "Left and bottom, indent";
cellA3.Alignment.Indent = 1;
Cell cellB1 = worksheet.Cells["B1"];
cellB1.Value = "The Alignment.ShrinkToFit property is applied";
cellB1.Alignment.ShrinkToFit = true;
Cell cellB2 = worksheet.Cells["B2"];
cellB2.Value = "Rotated Cell Contents";
cellB2.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Center;
cellB2.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Center;
cellB2.Alignment.RotationAngle = 15;
Cell cellB3 = worksheet.Cells["B3"];
cellB3.Value = "The Alignment.WrapText property is applied to wrap the text within a cell";
cellB3.Alignment.WrapText = true;
Dim cellA1 As Cell = worksheet.Cells("A1")
cellA1.Value = "Right and top"
cellA1.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Right
cellA1.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Top
Dim cellA2 As Cell = worksheet.Cells("A2")
cellA2.Value = "Center"
cellA2.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Center
cellA2.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Center
Dim cellA3 As Cell = worksheet.Cells("A3")
cellA3.Value = "Left and bottom, indent"
cellA3.Alignment.Indent = 1
Dim cellB1 As Cell = worksheet.Cells("B1")
cellB1.Value = "The Alignment.ShrinkToFit property is applied"
cellB1.Alignment.ShrinkToFit = True
Dim cellB2 As Cell = worksheet.Cells("B2")
cellB2.Value = "Rotated Cell Contents"
cellB2.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Center
cellB2.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Center
cellB2.Alignment.RotationAngle = 15
Dim cellB3 As Cell = worksheet.Cells("B3")
cellB3.Value = "The Alignment.WrapText property is applied to wrap the text within a cell"
cellB3.Alignment.WrapText = True
