To add three-dimensional text to the table's header row, set the TextEffect property to Raised for text with a shadow offset by one pixel to the right and below the text or Inset for text with a shadow offset by one pixel to the left and above the text. Setting the TextEffect property to Flat gives text no effect.

1. Create a new style called 3DText.

   In the Designer

   • Open the C1FlexGrid Style Editor. For details on how to access the C1FlexGrid Style Editor, see Accessing the C1FlexGrid Style Editor.
   • Click Add to create a new style.
   • Double-click CustomStyle1, rename it 3DText, and press ENTER when finished.
   • Do not exit the C1FlexGrid Style Editor.

   In Code

   Add the following code to the Form_Load event:

   To write code in Visual Basic

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Dim tdt As C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.CellStyle

   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.CellStyle tdt = this.c1FlexGrid1.Styles.Add("3Dtext");

2. Set the TextEffect property to Raised.

   In the Designer

   Locate the TextEffect property in the right pane and set it to Raised.

   In Code

   Add the following code to the Form_Load event:

   To write code in Visual Basic

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   tdt.TextEffect = C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.TextEffectEnum.Raised

   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   tdt.TextEffect = C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.TextEffectEnum.Raised;

3. Apply the style to the header row by adding the following code to the Form_Load event:

   To write code in Visual Basic

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Me.C1FlexGrid1.Rows(0).Style = Me.C1FlexGrid1.Styles("3DText")

   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   this.c1FlexGrid1.Rows[0].Style = this.c1FlexGrid1.Styles["3DText"];

This topic illustrates the following:

The table should have a header with raised text similar to the following image.
