TXlsFile.GetStringFromCell Method

This method will return a rich string that is formatted similar to the way Excel shows it. For example, if you have "1.0" on a cell, and the cell is formatted as exponential, this method will return "1.0e+1" It might also change the color depending on the value and format. (for example, red for negative numbers) Conditional formats are not applied, you need to call TExcelFile.ConditionallyModifyFormat(TFlxFormat, Integer, Integer, Boolean, IDrawingConditionalFormat) to the cell style for that.

Syntax

Unit: FlexCel.XlsAdapter

function TXlsFile.GetStringFromCell(const sheet: Integer; const row: Integer; const col: Integer; var XF: Integer; var aColor: TUIColor; const ignorePrintErrors: Boolean): TRichString; overload; override;

Parameters

<-> Parameter Type Description
const sheet Integer Sheet where the cell is (1 based).
const row Integer Cell Row (1 based).
const col Integer Cell Column (1 based)
var XF Integer The resulting XF for the cell.
var aColor TUIColor Resulting color of the string. If for example you define red for negative numbers, and the result is red, this will be returned on aColor. If there is not color info on the format, it will remain unchanged.
