The WinForms Spreadsheet control emulates Microsoft® Excel® capabilities and allows you to create, load, edit, save, and print spreadsheet documents. Show
If you are new to the SpreadsheetControl or consider it for an upcoming project, review the following topics first:
Spreadsheet Document ElementsReview the list of supported document elements. You can manage these elements in code or from the Spreadsheet control’s user interface. WorkbookA workbook is a spreadsheet document. When you load the Spreadsheet control, it displays an empty workbook. You can create a new document, load an existing file, or retrieve data from different data sources (arrays, lists, data tables, and so on). The Spreadsheet control allows you to save modified data to a file or export your document to PDF and HTML. Supported File Formats WorksheetA worksheet is a single page within a workbook. You can create, rename, move, copy, hide, or delete worksheets.Rows and ColumnsWorksheets in the Spreadsheet control display 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns (the number of rows and columns in spreadsheet management programs such as Microsoft Excel). You can insert, copy, hide, freeze, resize, or remove rows and columns.Cells and Cell RangesAll worksheet data is stored in cells. A cell reference defines the position of a cell or cell range in a worksheet. Cells can contain different values: numbers, dates, text, logical values, and formulas. You can embed custom data editors within cells to facilitate and validate user input. Formulas and FunctionsYou can create formulas and perform calculations of any complexity. The Spreadsheet control ships with the Formula Bar that allows users to view, enter, and edit formulas. The Spreadsheet control supports over 400 built-in functions designed to address a broad range of usage scenarios. You can use basic mathematical functions to aggregate data within a spreadsheet or create complex formulas with statistical, engineering, and financial functions. In addition to the predefined functions, the Spreadsheet control also supports user-defined (custom) functions. Document Appearance and Cell FormattingThe Spreadsheet control supports a rich set of formatting options that allow you to change the appearance of the entire document or individual cells. Document ThemeA document theme is a set of fonts, colors, and graphic effects you can use to change the look of your entire document. You can apply a custom theme to your workbook or change predefined theme colors.Cell StylesUse cell styles to apply multiple format attributes to worksheet cells simultaneously. You can choose from a broad range of built-in cell styles similar to Microsoft® Excel® or create a custom style.Direct Cell FormattingApply different format attributes to individual cells and cell ranges: color the cell background, change font settings, align cell content, add borders, and specify number formats. You can also assign rich formatted text to a cell.Conditional FormattingUse conditional formatting (colors, icons, and data bars) to highlight cell values based on specific criteria or illustrate trends within cells.Custom DrawThe Spreadsheet control supports the CustomDraw events that allow you to change the appearance of worksheet cells, and row and column headers. You can display custom text or draw graphic primitives and images.Bind to DataYou can bind a cell range or a table to various data sources: ADO.NET data sets, SQL databases, XML files, and lists of custom objects. Two-way data binding is supported. You can also use a cell range as a data source for any DevExpress or third-party data-aware UI control (Data Grid, Chart, and so on). Organize and Shape DataThe WinForms Spreadsheet control supports the following features that help you manage and organize data more effectively:
Protect and Encrypt DataThe WinForms Spreadsheet allows you to protect your documents to prevent unauthorized access. Security options include:
Validate Cell ValuesRestrict user input and utilize data validation to reduce data entry errors and ensure data integrity. You can create a drop-down list of valid values, limit the number of text characters in a cell, restrict data entry to values within a specific range, validate data based on spreadsheet formulas, and display input and error messages for validated cells. Print DocumentsYou can print documents in code or use the built-in Print dialog. Invoke the Preview window to preview your document before printing. The Page Setup dialog allows users to customize page settings, specify page margins, add headers and footers, set a print area, and define rows and columns to repeat on every page. Mail MergeThe WinForms Spreadsheet control supports Mail Merge operations. Use Mail Merge to automatically generate personalized letters and business-centric reports of any complexity. Merged documents are generated based on a template that is bound to a data source. The Spreadsheet control’s Mail Merge tools allow you to visually design templates and preview mail merge results on-the-fly. You can save data-bound templates to XLSX and XLS files and reuse them later to quickly create new documents and reports. DevExpress Spreadsheet Document APIThe WinForms Spreadsheet control and the non-visual Spreadsheet Document API library share a common API used to manage spreadsheet documents in code. However, this library offers several unique features you may find useful for your Spreadsheet app:
You need an active license for the DevExpress Office File API Subscription or DevExpress Universal Subscription to use the Spreadsheet Document API library in production code. For pricing information, refer to the following page: DevExpress Subscription Plans.
