Multiline Property (TextCellType)

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property Multiline As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As TextCellType
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.Multiline = value
 
value = instance.Multiline

public bool Multiline {get; set;}

Property Value

Boolean: true if multiple lines of text are allowed; false otherwise

When set to true, multiple lines are allowed, but text is not automatically wrapped to new lines when the number of characters exceeds the width of the cell. To wrap lines of text automatically, set the WordWrap property (inherited from EditCellType). Otherwise, to wrap lines of text, be sure to type in carriage-return characters to force the text to the new lines.

This example specifies how text can be displayed including the letter case, the length, and whether it can wrap to multiple lines.

C#

FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.TextCellType txt = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.TextCellType();
txt.CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Upper;
txt.CharacterSet = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CharacterSet.Ascii;
txt.HotkeyPrefix = System.Drawing.Text.HotkeyPrefix.Show;
txt.MaxLength = 40;
txt.Multiline = true;
txt.PasswordChar = Convert.ToChar("*");
txt.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Horizontal;
txt.Static = false;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[0, 0].CellType = txt;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[0, 0].Text = "This is a text cell.  It can provide a wide range of" + " functionality for handling
a large amount of data that a user might want to include" + " in a single cell.";

" functionality for handling a large amount of data that a user might want to include" & _
" in a single cell."
