  Hello, I started working on very legacy project which used FarPoint.Win.Input 1.0. I know that it is out of support for a long time and I want to migrate to latest Spread.NET instead.

  Unfortunately, I don’t have an idea how to do it smoothly enough. There are a lot of references to this old component and I don’t know which new components can replace this functionality. Please find the list of some broken references below:

  • FarPoint.Win.Input.FpMask
  • FarPoint.Win.Input.FpCurrency
  • FarPoint.Win.Input.FpDouble
  • FarPoint.Win.Input.FpInteger
  • FarPoint.Win.Input.EditModeCursorPosition

  Do you have any suggestions how to start using Spread.NET 17 instead of this old stuff?

  Do you have any information about type mapping used in old version? For example, I tried to understand what should be used in new version instead of FpCurrency type, but it is not so obvious as I’d expect.

  Hello Vitaly,

  You can use the multiple CellTypes in FpSpread as per your requirements. Please see the following doc link for the same:
