CellType Property (Cell)

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property CellType As ICellType

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Cell
Dim value As ICellType
 
instance.CellType = value
 
value = instance.CellType

public ICellType CellType {get; set;}

Property Value

ICellType object containing the cell type

The setting for this property can be overridden if a named style is assigned to the cell using the StyleName property, and that named style sets the cell type.

This setting is different than the GetCellType method for the sheet (SheetView object). The GetCellType method returns the composite (that is, inherited) cell type while this property gets the direct cell type.

Here are graphic or control cell types based on FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.BaseCellType:

Here are editable cell types based on FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.EditBaseCellType:

This example creates a check box cell.

C#

FarPoint.Win.Spread.Cell acell;
FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CheckBoxCellType ck = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CheckBoxCellType();
acell = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0];
acell.CellType = ck;

Visual Basic

Dim acell As FarPoint.Win.Spread.Cell
Dim ck As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CheckBoxCellType()
acell = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0)
acell.CellType = ck
