MaxLength Property (TextCellType)

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property MaxLength As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As TextCellType
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.MaxLength = value
 
value = instance.MaxLength

public int MaxLength {get; set;}

Property Value

Integer number of characters

This is the number of characters that can be typed, not the number that can be displayed. If you enter text by setting the Text property for a cell, this property does not limit those characters, only what can be typed by a user when in edit mode.

This example specifies how text can be displayed including the letter case, the length, and whether it can wrap to multiple lines.

C#

FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.TextCellType txt = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.TextCellType();
txt.CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Upper;
txt.CharacterSet = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CharacterSet.Ascii;
txt.HotkeyPrefix = System.Drawing.Text.HotkeyPrefix.Show;
txt.MaxLength = 40;
txt.Multiline = true;
txt.PasswordChar = Convert.ToChar("*");
txt.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical;
txt.Static = true;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[0, 0].CellType = txt;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[0, 0].Text = "This is a text cell.  It can provide a wide range of" + " functionality for handling
a large amount of data that a user might want to include" + " in a single cell.";

" functionality for handling a large amount of data that a user might want to include" & _
