Spread Windows Forms 9.0 Product Documentation
Resizing the Data to Fit the Cell

You can display all the text in the cell with the shrink to fit option. The font size is reduced if the text is too long for the visible area of the cell.

This property is available for the currency, datetime, mask, number, percent, regular expression, text, or general cell.

The following image shows the difference between a cell with the ShrinkToFit property set to True and a cell with the property set to False.

Using Code

  1. Create a cell that supports the shrink to fit option such as the regular expression cell.
  2. Set the ShrinkToFit property.
  3. Set the CellType property.
  4. Type a valid value for the cell such as 11240082777 for the regular expression cell in this example.

Example

This example reduces the font size so the text is displayed in the cell.

C#
Copy Code
FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.RegularExpressionCellType testcell = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.RegularExpressionCellType();
testcell.ShrinkToFit = true;
testcell.RegularExpression = "^\\d{11}$";
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[0, 0].CellType = testcell;
VB
Copy Code
Dim testcell As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.RegularExpressionCellType()
testcell.ShrinkToFit = True
testcell.RegularExpression = "^\d{11}$"
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(0, 0).CellType = testcell

Using the Spread Designer
