CGridView:SetType

CGridView:SetType

The SetType method sets the data type of a grid cell. Although the default cell type of "string" works for most applications, there may be occasions when the data need to be interpreted as other types of information.

Syntax

CGridView:SetType( nCol, nRow, data_type )

Where nCol, and nRow are the coordinates of the cell to set.

Where data_type is a numeric code representing the type of information in the specified cell.

Remarks

The data_type is a numeric code that specifies the interpretation of the cell values, as defined in the table below. Pass the number when calling this method.

Data Type	Interpretation
1	String
2	Number
3	Boolean true or false
4	Time, as a string
5	Currency, as a string

11	Special date (yyyy/mm/dd)
12	Special degrees (dd:mm:ss.sss or +dd°mm'ss.sss" string)
