Example

This example subclasses the check box cell type to illustrate the use of the methods, but would be the same for any of several cell types.

class myCkBox  : FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CheckBoxCellType
{
CheckBox ckbx = new CheckBox();

public myCkBox()
{
}
new event EventHandler EditingCanceled;
new event EventHandler EditingStopped;

public override void StartEditing(EventArgs e, bool selectAll, bool autoClipboard)
{
   return;
}
public override void CancelEditing()
{
   EditingCanceled(ckbx, EventArgs.Empty);
   base.FireEditingCanceled();
}
public override bool StopEditing()
{
   if (EditingStopped != null)
   {
      EditingStopped(ckbx, EventArgs.Empty);
      base.FireEditingStopped();
      return true;
   }
   else
   {
      return false;
   }
}

   {
      ControlPaint.DrawCheckBox(g, r.X, r.Y, r.Width - 40, r.Height - 6, ButtonState.Checked);
   }
