OverflowChar Property

Applies To: Grid

Description

The OverflowChar property specifies the character to be displayed in place of the digits when a numeric value cannot be displayed in its entirety in a Grid cell.

If the value of OverflowChar is an empty vector (the default) the data in a numeric cell is simply clipped if it is too wide to fit in the cell.

For example

   'F'⎕WC'Form'('Coord' 'Pixel')('Size' 101 296)         
   'F'⎕WS'Caption' 'OverflowChar Property'               
   DATA←3 3⍴12 123456789 13 9876543 99 456 10 99 1236.893
   'F.G'⎕WC'Grid'DATA(0 0)(101 296)                      
   'F.G'⎕WS'CellWidths' 65                               
   'F.G'⎕WS'OverflowChar' '#'                            

The same Grid without OverflowChar being defined appears as follows. Notice how the numbers have been truncated
