The Spread Designer lets ActiveX and VBX users design spreadsheets quickly by offering a design-time environment that displays changes to the spreadsheet as they are made.

Within the Spread Designer, you can view a design-time version of your spreadsheet in design mode. You can also switch to a run-time version of the spreadsheet, which shows your spreadsheet as it will appear when it is in your application. For example, when working with hidden columns, you can view the columns and design them in design mode. When you switch to run-time mode, the columns are hidden.

The Spread Designer lets you open multiple spreadsheet views. The Spread Designer view is the default view provided by the designer. The Spread Designer view displays the spreadsheet in its current design-time state. You can open views of other existing spreadsheets created using FarPoint’s fpSpread control.

Once a file is opened, you can modify the Spread Designer view or one of the open views, and then choose which view, if any, to apply to the fpSpread control.

Using learn mode, you can generate documented Visual Basic code for actions you perform while working in the Spread Designer. You can view this code in the Spread Designer, and you can paste this code in your application.

Using cell type mode, you can see at a glance the type of cell in the spreadsheet.

NOTE: For 32-bit Visual Basic users, the Spread Designer can be invoked by highlighting the Spread control, right-clicking the mouse, and choosing the Spread Designer option.
