This topic summarizes which events are raised for each user action on the Spread component. While it is not a comprehensive list of every action that the user could possibly perform, it details the events for most of the common actions performed by the user.

The types of user actions are organized as follows:

• Clicking Actions
• Selecting Actions
• Entering Data Actions
• Sheet-Level Actions
• Interactivity Actions
• Shape Actions
• Print Actions

The lists provided in these sections are an attempt to illustrate the sequence of events that are raised for typical actions. Since some actions occur all the time or repeatedly for any of these actions, we have left off some of these actions from the lists. For example, these lists do not include MouseMove, MouseHover, MouseEnter, MouseLeave, Invalidated, and CursorChanged events.

If you would like to investigate this further on your own, we provide a sample that allows you to interact with a Spread component and see, in a list box, the corresponding events as they are fired. This sample, called fpspreadevents, is in the samples folder in the installation folder of the product.

In general, if you are looking for a way to intercept each change that occurs in a cell, the EditChange event is raised for each keystroke the user makes as they are typing data into a cell.
