Examples

The following code example uses the Previous property to determine whether the current WorksheetBase is the first sheet in the workbook. If the current WorksheetBase is not the first sheet, then the name of the previous sheet is displayed.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void DisplayPrevious()
{
    if (this.Previous != null)
    {
        Excel.Worksheet sheet = (Excel.Worksheet)this.Previous;
        MessageBox.Show("The previous worksheet is " + sheet.Name);
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("The current worksheet is the first worksheet.");
    }
}

Private Sub DisplayPrevious()
    If Not (Me.Previous Is Nothing) Then
        Dim sheet As Excel.Worksheet = _
            CType(Me.Previous, Excel.Worksheet)
        MsgBox("The previous worksheet is " & sheet.Name)
    Else
        MsgBox("The current worksheet is the first worksheet.")
    End If
End Sub
