I had a look at this and found that


on a tloatcell, it is easy enough to achieve, by adding a getasint64/setasInt64, If I understand correctly this

on a tintegercell, i was originally tempted to change the fvalue datatype from integer to int64, but as i undertand it a tintegercell will only be instantiated if a culumn is an ingage, a reta or a list

Would you consider adding it to the next release, I am happy to send you what I did.

this is what I did to achieve an asInt64


in NxCells.tCell I added the following property



property asInt64: Int64 read GetAsInt64 write SetasInt64;

function GetAsInt64: int64; virtual; abstract;
procedure SetAsInt64(const Value: Int64); virtual;



procedure TCell.SetAsInt64(const Value: Int64);
begin
Changed;
end;


then in nxCellsClasses I added

function GetAsInt64: int64; virtual; override;
procedure SetAsInt64(const Value: Int64); override;



then for tFloatCell (the only cell type which really needs changing, if I understand correctly)

procedure TFloatCell.setAsInt64 (const value: Int64);
begin
fValue := value;
inherited;
end;


function TFloatCell.GetAsInt64: Int64;
begin
Result := Round(FValue);
end;


and for the others cell types, simply

procedure TxxxxCell.setAsInt64 (const value: Int64);
begin
self.setasInteger(integer(value));
end;


function TxxxxCell.GetAsInt64: Int64;
begin
Result := self.getAsInteger;
end;

Hello Didier,

I like to say sorry for delay. I was been in my Birth town for day and a half.

I will need to think about it. Why not use a AsFloat for a moment, until I decide. This may be big decision.

Best regards

Don't be sorry, you are allowed to travel

the problem with asFloat at the moment is that, if I understand correctly, the underlying property is still an integer ... not an int64, unless I misundestood what you say

Hello Didier,

As far I think, you may use AsFloat and convert it to Int64. You can use all what you write above, but in more external way.

Best regards
