How can I specify font as 'Italic' using NPOI 2.2.1.0?

I want to create my own style for cell in Ecxel document. I need cell text to be displayed as 'Italic' like this 'blablabla'. How can I do it? I tried something like this: 

wb = new XSSFWorkbook(stream);
var font = wb.CreateFont();
font.SetItalic(true)

but there is no 'SetItalic' method in NPOI API, just readoly 'IsItalic' property.

Solution

  • According to the documentation, IsItalic is a read/write property.

    Here is a little code sample demonstrating how to apply an italic font to a particular cell:

    var wb = new XSSFWorkbook();
var sheet = wb.CreateSheet("Sheet 1");

// Create an italic font
var font = wb.CreateFont();
font.IsItalic = true;

// Create a dedicated cell style using that font 
var style = wb.CreateCellStyle();
style.SetFont(font);

var row = sheet.CreateRow(0);

row.CreateCell(0).SetCellValue("Username");

var cell = row.CreateCell(1);
cell.SetCellValue("Email");
// Apply the cellstyle we craeted
cell.CellStyle = style;

using (var fileData = new FileStream(@"G:\scratch\sheet2.xlsx", FileMode.Create))
{
  wb.Write(fileData);
}
