Public Interface Alignment

The following members return Alignment objects:

Remarks

The Alignment object provides a set of properties that you can use to align data contained within a cell (Alignment.Horizontal, Alignment.Vertical, Alignment.Indent, Alignment.WrapText, Alignment.ShrinkToFit and Alignment.RotationAngle).

To access the Alignment object, use 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 document.

Example

This example demonstrates how to specify the alignment of cell content so the cells appear as on the image below:

View Example

csharp
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;
vb
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
