  I have inherited from GC.Spread.Sheets.CellTypes.Text to create a custom field that displays vertical text as referenced by https://www.grapecity.com/blogs/rotating-text-in-spreadjs-cells.

  If option ‘sheet.options.allowCellOverflow = true’, the cell will continue to paint a horizontal text when the column size is reduced.

  Is it possible to inherit from Text and define the custom cell to avoid overflow?

  Thank you for such a prompt reply.

  Your example runs fine for me as a standalone html file. Using the definition for custom cell type within the application still resulted in overflow showing.

  I was able to stop overflow into next cells with:

  
      function RotateTextCellType() {
          this.allowOverflow = false;
      }
