   string value
)

Parameters

row: Starting row index or -1 for all rows
column: Starting column index or -1 for all columns
rowCount: Number of rows or -1 for all rows
columnCount: Number of columns or -1 for all columns
value: Tab-delimited string (data only) to set into the specified range of cells

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Specified row index is out of range; must be between 0 and the total number of rows
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Specified column index is out of range; must be between 0 and the total number of columns

Remarks

The data is put directly into the data model without being parsed.

Besides using this method, you can get or set the value in a cell using various properties of the sheet (SheetView object) or properties of the cell (Cell object). For more information, see Handling Data Using Sheet Methods and Handling Data Using Cell Properties.

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.

Example

This example illustrates the use of this member by returning a tab-delimited string containing the unformatted text in a range.

fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetClipValue(0, 0, 2, 4, "one\ttwo\tthree\tfour\r\nfive\tsix\tseven\teight"); 
string s;
s = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.GetClipValue(0, 0, 2, 4);
listBox1.Items.Add(s);

Visual Basic

FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetClipValue(0, 0, 2, 4, "one" + Chr(9) + "two" + Chr(9) + "three" + Chr(9) + "four" + vbCrLf + "five"
+ Chr(9) + "six" + Chr(9) + "seven" + Chr(9) + "eight")
