   object value
)

Parameters

value
Value to validate (as object)

Return Value

true if value in entry is valid; false otherwise

Remarks
The valid range of values is defined by the minimum and maximum value properties.
Example
This example shows the use of the IsValid method for a date-time formatted numeric cell type, but it can be used for other cell types as well.
FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType dt = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType();
bool b;
dt.DateTimeFormat = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeFormat.ShortDate;
dt.MaximumDate = new System.DateTime(2010, 12, 31);
dt.MinimumDate = new System.DateTime(1990, 1, 1);
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].CellType = dt;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].Value = new System.DateTime(2011, 9, 12);
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[1, 0].CellType = dt;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[1, 0].Value = new System.DateTime(1989, 9, 12);
b = dt.IsValid(fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].Value);
listBox1.Items.Add(b.ToString());
Dim dt As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType()
Dim b As Boolean
dt.DateTimeFormat = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeFormat.ShortDate
dt.MaximumDate = New System.DateTime(2010, 12, 31)
dt.MinimumDate = New System.DateTime(1990, 1, 1)
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0).CellType = dt
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0).Value = New System.DateTime(2011, 9, 12)
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 0).CellType = dt
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 0).Value = New System.DateTime(1989, 9, 12)
b = dt.IsValid(fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0).Value)
ListBox1.Items.Add(b.ToString())
