Method TrySetValueFromString

Namespace

Terminal.Gui.Views

Assembly

Terminal.Gui.dll

TrySetValueFromString(string)

Attempts to set Value by parsing the supplied string.

public bool TrySetValueFromString(string input)

Parameters

input string

The string representation of the value to set.

Returns

bool

true if input was successfully parsed and assigned; false if the value type cannot be parsed from a string or parsing failed.

Remarks

The default implementation supports:

• string values (assigned directly).
• Any type implementing IParsable<TSelf> (e.g. int, double, DateTime, DateOnly, TimeOnly, TimeSpan, Color).
• Nullable<T> wrappers around any of the above.
• Enum types (case-insensitive).

Views may override this method to provide custom parsing logic.
