Cell Types

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.

  • "As a long time user of your Spread COM product I have always been pleased with the flexibility and user friendly aspects of the control and it is great to see that your Windows Forms control continues this tradition!

    Now that you are part of the same company which created ActiveReports (another product I have been a user of for a long time) I look forward to creating feature rich applications which will benefit my customers and my company. Excited to get started!"
