To set cell types, for each custom cell type, you have to create a cell type object, set the properties for it, and then assign that object to the CellType property for a cell or range of cells.
Set the cell type for the Check # column by adding the following code below the code you have already added:
Example
| C# |  Copy Code |
|---|---|
// Create Check # column of number cells. FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.NumberCellType objNumCell = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.NumberCellType(); objNumCell.DecimalPlaces = 0; objNumCell.MinimumValue = 1; objNumCell.MaximumValue = 9999; objNumCell.ShowSeparator = false; fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[0].CellType = objNumCell; |
|
| VB | Copy Code |
|---|---|
' Create Check # column of number cells. Dim objNumCell As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.NumberCellType() objNumCell.DecimalPlaces = 0 objNumCell.MinimumValue = 1 objNumCell.MaximumValue = 9999 objNumCell.ShowSeparator = False FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Columns(0).CellType = objNumCell |
|
Set the cell type for the Date column by adding the following code below the code you have already added:
Example
| C# | Copy Code |
|---|---|
// Create Date column of date-time cells. FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType objDateCell = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType(); objDateCell.DateTimeFormat = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeFormat.ShortDate; fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[1].CellType = objDateCell; |
|
| VB | Copy Code |
|---|---|
' Create Date column of date-time cells. Dim objDateCell As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType() objDateCell.DateTimeFormat = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeFormat.ShortDate FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Columns(1).CellType = objDateCell |
|
Set the cell type for the Description column by adding the following code below the code you have already added:
Example
| C# | Copy Code |
|---|---|
// Create Description column of text cells. FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.TextCellType objTextCell = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.TextCellType(); objTextCell.MaxLength = 100; fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[2].CellType = objTextCell; |
|
| VB | Copy Code |
|---|---|
' Create Description column of text cells. Dim objTextCell As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.TextCellType() objTextCell.MaxLength = 100 FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Columns(2).CellType = objTextCell |
|
Set the cell type for the Tax? and Cleared? columns by adding the following code below the code you have already added:
Example
| C# | Copy Code |
|---|---|
/// Create Tax? and Cleared? columns of check box cells. FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CheckBoxCellType objCheckCell = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CheckBoxCellType(); objCheckCell.ThreeState = false; fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[3].CellType = objCheckCell; fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[4].CellType = objCheckCell; |
|
| VB | Copy Code |
|---|---|
' Create Tax? and Cleared? columns of check box cells. Dim objCheckCell As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CheckBoxCellType() objCheckCell.ThreeState = False FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Columns(3).CellType = objCheckCell FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Columns(4).CellType = objCheckCell |
|
Set the cell type for the Debit, Credit, and Balance columns by adding the following code below the code you have already added:
Example
| C# | Copy Code |
|---|---|
// Create the Debit, Credit, and Balance columns of currency cells. FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CurrencyCellType objCurrCell = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CurrencyCellType(); objCurrCell.LeadingZero = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.LeadingZero.Yes; objCurrCell.NegativeRed = true; objCurrCell.FixedPoint = true; fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[5].CellType = objCurrCell; fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[6].CellType = objCurrCell; fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[7].CellType = objCurrCell; |
|
| VB | Copy Code |
|---|---|
' Create the Debit, Credit, and Balance columns of currency cells. Dim objCurrCell As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CurrencyCellType() objCurrCell.LeadingZero = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.LeadingZero.Yes objCurrCell.NegativeRed = True objCurrCell.FixedPoint = True FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Columns(5).CellType = objCurrCell FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Columns(6).CellType = objCurrCell FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Columns(7).CellType = objCurrCell |
