Setting a General Cell

Users can type text or numbers in a general cell type. The general cell type can also be used as a base from which to inherit generic cell type information.

The general cell will format the values the user types into strings, numbers, or dates. The text cell formats user typed values as strings.

For details on the properties and methods for this cell type, refer to the GeneralCellType class.

Using Code

  1. Define the general cell type by creating an instance of the GeneralCellType class.
  2. Assign the general cell type to a cell.

Example
