Previous Cell Types Next

You can specify the way a user interacts with a cell, including how data in entered, displayed, and validated by specifying the cell type. The cell type defines an editor control for the cell that handles data entry, a formatter control to handle how the data is interpreted, and a renderer control that handles how the data is displayed in the cell. Examples of cell types are check box cell, date-time cell, or a simple text cell.

Cell types can be set for individual cells, columns, rows, a range of cells, or an entire sheet. For any cell type there are properties of a cell that can be set. In general, working with cell types includes defining the cell type, setting the properties, and applying that cell type to cells. In FarPoint Spread, a cell has both an editor and a renderer. The editor is an actual control instance that is created and placed in the location of the cell when the cell goes into edit mode. The formatter decides how the displayed text appears. The renderer is simply code that paints that control inside the cell rectangle when the editor is not there.
