You can use text cells to restrict users to entering text values and to display data as text. You can also specify the maximum text length and a password field.
The following image displays a text cell with a password.
For details on the properties and methods for this cell type, refer to the TextCellType class.
For information about checking a regular expression in a cell, refer to Setting a Regular Expression Cell.
If you anticipate that users need to display text with multiple blank spaces between consecutive words, you should set the FpSpread AllowWrap property to false; otherwise, the control uses spaces for formatting that Internet Explorer will trim as extra blank spaces (Internet Explorer allows one space in a TD element). If you set the AllowWrap property to false, the control uses the web space character for spaces, and the spaces are not trimmed in the text. |
This example sets a password and a maximum length for the cell.
