VerticalAlignmentStyle Enum
Represents available vertical alignment options used in VerticalAlignment member.
Remarks
Conceptually, cell formatting is divided into following groups:
- Number - indicates how to format and render the numeric value of a cell. Associated property is NumberFormat.
- Alignment - formatting information pertaining to text alignment in cells. Associated properties are HorizontalAlignment, VerticalAlignment, Indent, Rotation, IsTextVertical, WrapText and ShrinkToFit.
- Font - defines the properties for the used font. Associated property is Font.
- Border - expresses a single set of cell border formats (left, right, top, bottom and diagonal). Associated property is Borders.
- Fill - specifies fill formatting (pattern or gradient). Associated property is FillPattern.
- Protection - contains protection properties associated with the cell. Associated properties are Locked and FormulaHidden.
Additional CellStyle properties not associated with any formatting group are:
- Name - name of the referenced Style.
- QuotePrefix - true to store numeric value of a cell as text; otherwise, false.
- IsDefault - true if Name Style is default (Normal) and there are no additional modifications of cell formatting; otherwise, false.
ExcelFile contains a set of Styles which can be referenced by multiple cells.
ExcelFile must always contain at least one Style which cannot be removed and is, by default, referenced by all cells. This default style is Normal.
Style can either be built-in or user-defined. Built-in style is accessible from Styles via BuiltInCellStyleName enumeration.
Cell formatting group (Number, Alignment, Font, Border, Fill or Protection) (and its associated properties) is resolved from Name Style, unless cell formatting group or its associated property is modified.
Cell formatting is available for one or more cells through Style property which is available on ExcelCell and CellRange types. Cell formatting specified on ExcelColumn and ExcelRow types through Style property is simply propagated to cell formatting of its Cells.
note
For performance reasons, cell formatting on CellRange is resolved based just on its top-left cell formatting, except borders which are resolved based on corner cells depending on border side.
Setting cell formatting property on CellRange is propagated to each cell in a range.
To set Style to one or more cells, simply assign it to Style property.
tip
Preferable way to modify formatting property of multiple cells is to get CellRange to which all those cells belong, and use Style property of that range to make the modification.
If modifying multiple formatting properties of a CellRange, without preserving unmodified formatting properties, preferable way is to create new instance of CellStyle, make modifications on it, and assign it to Style property of that range.
GemBox.Spreadsheet internally takes care not to allocate unnecessary cells when formatting a range of cells (for example, when formatting Cells) and to cache formatting information of equally formatted cells, at the appropriate time, to reduce memory footprint.
Fields
| Bottom | The vertical alignment is aligned-to-bottom. |
| Center | The vertical alignment is centered across the height of the cell. |
| Distributed | When text direction is horizontal: the vertical alignment of lines of text is distributed vertically, where each line of text inside the cell is evenly distributed across the height of the cell, with flush top and bottom margins. When text direction is vertical: behaves exactly as distributed horizontal alignment. The first words in a line of text (appearing at the top of the cell) are flush with the top edge of the cell, and the last words of a line of text are flush with the bottom edge of the cell, and the line of text is distributed evenly from top to bottom. This option is currently not supported in PDF, XPS, and image formats and defaults to Center. |
| Justify | When text direction is horizontal: the vertical alignment of lines of text is distributed vertically, where each line of text inside the cell is evenly distributed across the height of the cell, with flush top and bottom margins. When text direction is vertical: similar behavior as horizontal justification. The alignment is justified (flush top and bottom in this case). For each line of text, each line of the wrapped text in a cell is aligned to the top and bottom (except the last line). If no single line of text wraps in the cell, then the text is not justified. This option is currently not supported in PDF, XPS, and image formats and defaults to Top. |
| Top | The vertical alignment is aligned-to-top. |
