TFlexCelReport.SetUserFormat Method

Adds a new user defined format to be used with the report. For information on how to create the user format function, see TFlexCelUserFormat

Syntax

Unit: FlexCel.Report

procedure TFlexCelReport.SetUserFormat(const name: string; const formatImplementation: TFlexCelUserFormat);

Parameters

<-> Parameter Type Description
const name string Name that the format will have on the report. Case insensitive.
const formatImplementation TFlexCelUserFormat An implementation of the user format.

Examples

You can define a format "MFMT" on the following way:

  myFormatImpl := TMyUserFormat.Create;  //The MyUserFormat class implements an user defined format.
  //Note that we don't have to free myFormatImpl, it will be freed by the report once it is over.
  flexCelReport.SetUserFormat('MFMT', myFormatImpl);  //The name used in Excel will be =MFMT().

Then, if you define the format in the config sheet, you can use it inside <#format cell> tags. Note that the name is case insensitive, so both "MFMT" and "mfmt" refer to the same format.
