Allowing Cell Overflow

You can determine how the contents of a cell overflows into adjoining cells. If you allow cell contents to overflow:

Left-aligned text in a cell overflows to the adjacent right cell.
Right-aligned text in a cell overflows to the adjacent left cell.
Centered text in a cell overflows to both the left and right adjacent cells.

Data only overflows if the adjacent cell is empty. Merged cells do not display the overflow.

Set the CanCellOverflow property to true to allow the cell to overflow.

Using Code

This example allows overflow and sets the alignment.
