Data Types
The print info cell uses the Object type value. This type can be checked with the PrintInfoCell.ValueType property. The value cast into the String type is used for input and display. This type can be checked with the PrintInfoCell.FormattedValueType property. To modify the behavior when values are read in a cell, you can override the PrintInfoCell.OnCellFormatting method. Override the PrintInfoCell.OnCellParsing method to modify behavior when the value is written back from the cell.
