Margin Property (Column)

In This Topic

Gets or sets the default settings of the cell margins that define the space between the cell border and the cell contents, for all the cells in this column.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property Margin As Inset

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Column
Dim value As Inset
 
instance.Margin = value
 
value = instance.Margin

public Inset Margin {get; set;}

Property Value

Inset object containing the margins for the contents of the cells in this column

Remarks

This property sets the distance between the cell border and the cell contents on all four sides of the cell. It defines the margins around the cell.

HTML tables can specify a padding for the cells in the table using the CELLPADDING attribute of the TABLE tag. The cell padding specifies how much space there is between borders and contents of a cell. The padding or margins are set using the Inset object.

The setting for this property can be overridden if a named style is assigned to the cell using the StyleName property, and that named style sets the margins.

To set the cell spacing, which is the spacing between table cells, refer to the CellSpacing property for the sheet.

Example

This example creates a Column object and adjusts the alignment of the text in the column via an Inset object. The height of the rows are changed so that the alignment changes can be easily seen.

Visual Basic

FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.ColumnCount=10;
FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.PageSize=20;
FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.RowCount=20;

for(int i=0;i<FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.RowCount;i++)
{
FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.SetValue(i,1,"Alignment");
FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.Rows[i].Height=80;
}
