expression An expression that returns an Application object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
Name	Required	String	The name of the data template containing the cell to edit.
Cell	Required	Long	The cell to edit. Can be one of the PjCell constants.
FieldName	Optional	Long	The name of the field to display in the cell. Can be one of the PjField constants.
Font	Optional	String	The name of the font.
FontSize	Optional	Integer	The size of the font, in points.
FontColor	Optional	Long	The RGB color of the font. Can be a hexadecimal value, where red is the last byte. For example, the value &HFF0000 is blue and &H00FFFF is yellow.

Italic	Optional	Boolean	True if the font is italic; otherwise, False.
Underline	Optional	Boolean	True if the font is underlined; otherwise, False.
HorizontalAlignment	Optional	Long	Specifies the horizontal alignment of text in the cell. Can be one of the PjAlignment constants.
VerticalAlignment	Optional	Long	Specifies the horizontal alignment of text in the cell. Can be one of the PjVerticalAlignment constants.
TextLineLimit	Optional	Long	Specifies the limit for the number of lines of text in the cell. Values can be 1, 2, or 3.
ShowLabel	Optional	Boolean	True if a label is shown in the cell; otherwise, False.
Label	Optional	String	Specifies the cell label.
DateFormat	Optional	Long	Specifies the date format for the cell when FieldName is a date field. Can be one of the PjDateFormat constants.

Return value

Boolean

Remarks

Using the BoxCellEditEx method with only the Name and Cell arguments has no effect.

Example

The following example modifies a copy of the Critical data template named Test Critical. The macro removes the fourth row of cells and sets the fourth cell in the third row to show the Actual Cost field and label in a purple-blue color.

Sub ModifyCriticalDataTemplate() 
 Application.BoxCellLayout Name:="Test Critical", CellRows:=3, MergeCells:=True 
 
 Application.BoxCellEditEx Name:="Test Critical", Cell:=pjCell4_3, _ 
 FieldName:=PjField.pjTaskActualCost, Font:="Arial", FontSize:="8", FontColor:=&HFF0077, _ 
 Bold:=False, Italic:=False, Underline:=False, HorizontalAlignment:=pjLeft, _ 
 VerticalAlignment:=pjMiddle, TextLineLimit:=1, ShowLabel:=True, Label:="Cost" 
End Sub

Note

If you use any of the PjColor enumeration constants for the FontColor parameter, the color will be nearly black. For example, the value of pjGreen is 9, which in the BoxCellEditEx method is a very dark red. To use only the sixteen colors available with PjColor constants, use the BoxCellEdit method.
