strings longer than 32K in a cell

Hello,

If I use XLSReadWriteII6 to put a string longer than 32K in length into a cell, then when I open the file in Excel, there is no data.

I can, however, paste the same data directly into Excel.

Is this a bug or is there some other reason for this behavior?

Thanks

John Dorlon

Re: Excel clipboard data

I saw that, but doesn't that command paste clipboard contents INTO the XLS file? That's not what I am trying to do. I want to copy data from a grid/dataset into the clipboard and paste into other MS products like Word or Teams, using the same format that I would have if I copied from Excel into Word...

Excel clipboard data

Hello, This question is not really related to XLSReadWrite, but maybe XLSReadWrite can help. In my application, I have TDataSets and TDBGrids. We have a feature that allows the dataset contents to be exported to clipboard (plain text, tab delimited) and it works fine. However, if I paste into MS Wor...

Re: Dates in Excel 5.0/95

It looks like that is what you are doing in TXLSWorksheet.GetIsDateTime. You check NumFmt.Value, but when I step through this code, the problem is that the NumFmt is blank. I have an old VM that I started up today with an older version of our app that Used XLSReadWriteII4. I tested with the same XLS...
