You can set the minimum and maximum values that can be entered in a currency cell and notify the user with a message if the entry is smaller than the minimum or larger than the maximum. This is done with MinimumValue and MaximumValue properties of the CurrencyCellType class.

Double, integer, and percent cells also support minimum and maximum values.

To assign the CurrencyCellType to a cell, refer to Setting a Currency Cell.

Using Code

1. Create the currency cell type and set a custom error message.
2. Specify the minimum or maximum value or both of a currency cell type.
3. Assign the currency cell type to a cell.

Example

C#	Copy Code
FarPoint.Web.Spread.CurrencyCellType currcell = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.CurrencyCellType("Pick a number between 1 and 10!"); currcell.MinimumValue = 1; currcell.MaximumValue = 10; FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.Cells[1,1].CellType = currcell;

VB	Copy Code
Dim currcell As New FarPoint.Web.Spread.CurrencyCellType("Pick a number between 1 and 10!") currcell.MinimumValue = 1 currcell.MaximumValue = 10 FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.Cells(1,1).CellType = currcell
