Setting Table Styles

You can add custom or built-in styles to a table.

You can specify custom styles for the first, second, or last column as well as other areas of the table. For a complete list, see the TableStyle properties. You can specify a built-in style with the TableStyle fields.

Table styles have a priority order when the styles overlap. The priority from highest to lowest is cell, row, column, and table.

Some style properties apply to areas that are not visible or do not have a style setting by default. For example, the FirstRowStripe style is not displayed unless the BandedRows property is true. The following table lists the TableView setting that must be true before the associated table style is displayed in the table.

TableView property TableStyle property
BandedColumns FirstColumnStripeFirstColumnStripSizeSecondColumnStripeSecondColumnStripSize
BandedRows FirstRowStripeFirstRowStripSizeSecondRowStripeSecondRowStripSize
FirstColumn FirstColumn
HeaderRowVisible HeaderRow
LastColumn LastColumn

Using Code

  1. Create a style using TableBorder and TableElementStyle.
  2. Use the TableStyle constructor and the CreateTableStyle method to assign the style.
  3. Set the TableStyle FirstColumn property to assign the style to the column or set any of the TableStyle properties.
  4. Set the TableView FirstColumn property to True to display the column style or set the appropriate TableView property.

Example

This example code adds a custom style to the first column.
