You can set the appearance of the outline of the overall component. The following figures show the types of outlines (or border) styles.

For more details, refer to the FpSpread.BorderStyle property and the BorderStyle enumeration in the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Using the Properties Window

This way of setting the border is done at design time and uses the Properties window of Visual Studio .NET.

1. Select the Spread component.
2. With the properties window open, in the Appearance category, select the Border Style property.
3. Select a value from the drop-down list. Press Enter. The new property is now set.

Using Code

This way of setting the border is done in code and is not seen until run time.

Add a line of code that sets the specific property, the BorderStyle property of the FpSpread class.

Example

fpSpread1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;

FpSpread1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle
