MergeStyle Property, SoftelvdmUserControl Class
Defines the cell merging style used by cells.
Class: SoftelvdmUserControl
Namespace: Softelvdm.Controls
Assembly: Softelvdm.SftTreeNET
Syntax
public MergeStyleEnum MergeStyle { get; set; }
Public Property MergeStyle As MergeStyleEnum
Value
The merge style.
The default value is MergeStyleEnum.EmptyCells.
Comments
Defines the cell merging style used by cells.
The control's MergeStyle property determines whether empty cells or cells with the same cell text are candidates for cell merging, for vertical cell merging. Horizontal cell merging is always based on empty cells only.
Examples
C#
namespace WindowsApplication1 {
public partial class MergeSample1 : Form {
public MergeSample1() {
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// This sample demonstrates cell merging. In this sample, vertical merging
// is based on empty subordinate cells (MergeStyle = MergeStyleEnum.EmptyCells).
// To prepare for this sample, create a new project with a blank form and add
// a SftTree/NET control named sftTree1.
// In addition, adjust the following FromFile method to use a (small) bitmap
// that is located on your system.
Image img = Bitmap.FromFile("..\\..\\test.gif");
CellClass cell;
