AutoConvert Property

Gets or sets whether to automatically convert the entered characters according to the input mask.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property AutoConvert As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As GcTextBoxCellType
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.AutoConvert = value
 
value = instance.AutoConvert

public bool AutoConvert {get; set;}

Property Value

True if characters are automatically converted according to the input mask; otherwise, false.
The default is true.

Remarks

If the AutoConvert property is set to true, all convertible characters are automatically converted accordingly to the input mask. For example, if the input mask is "A", hitting a lower case character causes the control to automatically convert the character to upper case.

If SBCS is entered in a DBCS mask input, the entered character is automatically converted to DBCS. Also a DBCS space is automatically converted to a SBCS space when the control allows only SBCS.

Example

This example uses the AutoConvert property.

GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcDateTimeCellType datecell = new GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcDateTimeCellType();
datecell.FieldsEditMode = GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.FieldsEditMode.RightSide;
datecell.ExcelExportFormat = "MM/dd/yy";
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[0, 0].CellType = datecell;

GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType textcell = new GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType();
textcell.AutoConvert = true;
textcell.FormatString = "A";
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[1, 1].CellType = textcell;

VB.NET

Dim datecell As New GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcDateTimeCellType()
datecell.FieldsEditMode = GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.FieldsEditMode.RightSide
datecell.ExcelExportFormat = "MM/dd/yy"
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(0, 0).CellType = datecell

Dim textcell As New GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType()
textcell.AutoConvert = True
textcell.FormatString = "A"
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(1, 1).CellType = textcell
