CellClass Class


	CellClass Class	Softel vdm, Inc.

CellClass Class (Softelvdm.SftTreeNET Namespace)

An instance of the CellClass class describes one individual cell in a SftTree/NET control.

There is one instance of the CellClass class for each cell in a SftTree/NET control. Cells are accessed using an item's ItemClass.Cells property.

Cells are used throughout the control, for cells in the item area and also in headers, footers and row headers.

Cells contain "parts", which are objects derived from the GenericPartClass class. These can be formatted text, buttons, images, checkboxes, radiobuttons and more.
