Namespace : DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native
Assembly : DevExpress.RichEdit.v25.2.Core.dll
NuGet Package : DevExpress.RichEdit.Core
TableStyle CreateNew()
Function CreateNew As TableStyle
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| TableStyle |
A TableStyle object that is a table style.
|
The CreateNew method creates a style, but does not add the TableStyle object to the style collection. Use the Add method to add a newly created style to the collection; otherwise the style cannot be applied.
The code sample below creates a new table style and applies it to a table:
using DevExpress.Office.Utils;
using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native;
using System.Drawing;
static void CreateAndApplyTableStyle(RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor)
{
// Access a document.
Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
// Start to edit the document.
document.BeginUpdate();
// Create a new table style.
TableStyle tStyleMain = document.TableStyles.CreateNew();
// Specify table style options.
tStyleMain.AllCaps = true;
tStyleMain.FontName = "Segoe Condensed";
tStyleMain.FontSize = 14;
tStyleMain.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
TableBorders tableBorders = tStyleMain.TableBorders;
tableBorders.InsideHorizontalBorder.LineStyle =
BorderLineStyle.Dotted;
tableBorders.InsideVerticalBorder.LineStyle =
BorderLineStyle.Dotted;
tableBorders.Top.LineThickness = 1.5f;
tableBorders.Top.LineStyle = BorderLineStyle.Double;
tableBorders.Left.LineThickness = 1.5f;
tableBorders.Left.LineStyle = BorderLineStyle.Double;
tableBorders.Bottom.LineThickness = 1.5f;
tableBorders.Bottom.LineStyle = BorderLineStyle.Double;
tableBorders.Right.LineThickness = 1.5f;
tableBorders.Right.LineStyle = BorderLineStyle.Double;
tStyleMain.CellBackgroundColor = Color.LightBlue;
tStyleMain.TableLayout = TableLayoutType.Fixed;
tStyleMain.Name = "MyTableStyle";
// Add the style to the collection of styles.
document.TableStyles.Add(tStyleMain);
// Finalize to edit the document.
document.EndUpdate();
// Start to edit the document.
document.BeginUpdate();
// Create a table with three rows and columns
// at the document range's start position.
Table table = document.Tables.Create(document.Range.Start, 3, 3);
// Set the table width to a fixed value.
table.TableLayout = TableLayoutType.Fixed;
table.PreferredWidthType = WidthType.Fixed;
table.PreferredWidth = Units.InchesToDocumentsF(3.5f);
// Set the cell width to a fixed value.
table[1, 1].PreferredWidthType = WidthType.Fixed;
table[1, 1].PreferredWidth = Units.InchesToDocumentsF(1.5f);
// Apply the created style to the table.
table.Style = tStyleMain;
// Finalize to edit the document.
document.EndUpdate();
// Insert text to the table cell.
document.InsertText(table[1, 1].Range.Start, "STYLED");
}
