Remarks

Compare the values returned from calling this method with the values returned from calling the GetClip method. For example, for date-time cells, the GetClip method returns the formatted date and time value. The GetClipValue method returns a DateTime object for the date and time.

The data in the range of cells is converted using the ToString method.

Besides using this method, you can get or set the data in a cell using various properties of the sheet (SheetView object) or properties of the cell (Cell object). For more information, see Handling Data Using Sheet Methods and Handling Data Using Cell Properties.

Remember that the data may be displayed differently in a cell depending on the cell type. For more information, see Understanding Cell Type Effects on Displaying Data.

Example

string s;
s = sv.GetClipValue(0, 0, 2, 4);

Dim sv As FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView
sv = FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView
sv.SetClipValue(0, 0, 2, 4, "one" + Chr(9) + "two" + Chr(9) + "three" + Chr(9) + "four" + vbCrLf + "five" + Chr(9) + "six"
