Public Property Text As String

value = instance.Text

public string Text {get; set;}

Property Value

String containing formatted data

This property gets or sets the formatted data in a cell using the IFormatter object for that cell to do the parsing. If setting the text, the data handled with this property is placed in the data model after it is parsed; if getting the text, the data is retrieved from the data model and parsed using the formatter.

Besides using this property, you can get or set the text in a cell using several methods available at the sheet level (with the SheetView object). For more information, see Handling Data Using Sheet Methods.

Remember that the data may be displayed differently in a cell depending on the cell type. For more information, see Understanding Cell Type Effects on Displaying Data.

This example specifies the font for text in the cell.

C#

FarPoint.Win.Spread.Cell acell;
acell = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0];
acell.Font = new Font("MS Sans Serif", 10, FontStyle.Bold);
acell.Text = "Font";

Visual Basic

Dim acell As FarPoint.Win.Spread.Cell
acell = FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0)
acell.Font = New Font("MS Sans Serif", 10, FontStyle.Bold)
acell.Text = "Font"

Target Platforms: Windows 2000 Professional (SP4), Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server (SP1), Windows 2008, Windows XP (SP2), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
