You can customize the validator’s title, input message, error message, and so on. With these settings you will know what data can or should be entered in a cell, and when the data is invalid you will get a message.
When you use the validator object, you can set its properties. For example:
When you input invalid data, the control will trigger the ValidationError event. For example:
var spreadNS = GC.Spread.Sheets;
window.onload = function () {
var spread = new GC.Spread.Sheets.Workbook(document.getElementById("ss"), {sheetCount: 2});
initSpread(spread);
};
function initSpread(spread) {
