Limiting User Entry in an Edit Cell


Overview

You can limit the characters the cell allows the user to type by specifying a valid character set from one of the available sets, such as alphabetic characters or numbers. In addition, you can limit the number of characters the user types in the cell.

By default, the cell does not allow users to type in multiple lines of text. However, if you prefer, you can allow the user to enter multiple lines of text.

Note: Changing the setting of the characters allowed in the cell or the number of characters allowed in the cell does not affect existing text in the cell; the setting only affects text provided after the setting is changed.
