Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property MonthNames As String()

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DateTimeCellType
Dim value() As String
 
instance.MonthNames = value
 
value = instance.MonthNames

public string[] MonthNames {get; set;}

Property Value

String array containing the names of the months

Remarks

This can be applied individually to the cell and have an effect only if the format is UserDefined and in the format of "ddd MMM" for the two 'Short' properties and "dddd MMMM" for the other two.

For this property, the array must be one-dimensional and must have exactly 13 elements.

For more information on the one-dimensional string array containing the names of the months, refer to MonthNames topic in the Microsoft .NET Framework documentation.

Example

This example specifies the strings to use for the day names and month names when the format is "dddd MMMM d, yyyy".

FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType dt = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType();
string[] dNames = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};
string[] mNames = {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "June", "July", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec",""};
string[] sdNames = {"SU", "M", "T", "W", "TH", "F", "S"};
string[] smNames = {"J", "F", "M", "A", "MY", "J", "JY", "AG", "S", "O", "N", "D",""};
string okbutn = "Accept";
string canbutn = "Decline";
dt.DateTimeFormat = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeFormat.UserDefined;
dt.UserDefinedFormat = "dddd  MMMM d,  yyyy";
dt.DayNames = dNames;
dt.MonthNames = mNames;
dt.ShortDayNames = sdNames;
dt.ShortMonthNames = smNames;
dt.SetCalendarText(okbutn, canbutn);
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].CellType = dt;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].Value = System.DateTime.Now;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Columns[0].Width = 130;

Visual Basic

Dim dt As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeCellType()
Dim dNames() As String = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}
Dim mNames() As String = {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "June", "July", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec",""}
Dim sdNames() As String = {"SU", "M", "T", "W", "TH", "F", "S"}
Dim smNames() As String = {"J", "F", "M", "A", "MY", "J", "JY", "AG", "S", "O", "N", "D",""}
Dim okbutn As String = "Accept"
Dim canbutn As String = "Decline"
dt.DateTimeFormat = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.DateTimeFormat.UserDefined
dt.UserDefinedFormat = "dddd  MMMM d,  yyyy"
dt.DayNames = dNames
dt.MonthNames = mNames
dt.ShortDayNames = sdNames
dt.ShortMonthNames = smNames
dt.SetCalendarText(okbutn, canbutn)
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0).CellType = dt
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0).Value = Now
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Columns(0).Width = 130
