Parameters

TowardPrecedent

ArrowNumber
Type: System.Object

Specifies the arrow number to navigate; corresponds to the numbered reference in the cell's formula.

Examples

The following code example makes cell A1 a dependent of an XmlMappedRange. The example then uses the ShowDependents method to draw an arrow between an XmlMappedRange and the dependent cell, and calls the NavigateArrow method to select the dependent cell. This code example assumes that the current worksheet contains an XmlMappedRange named CustomerLastNameCell.

Private Sub DisplayAndSelectDependent()
    Me.CustomerLastNameCell.Value2 = "Smith" 

    Me.Range("A1").Value2 = "=" & _
        Me.CustomerLastNameCell.Address(False, True, _
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, False)

    Me.CustomerLastNameCell.ShowDependents(False)
    Me.CustomerLastNameCell.NavigateArrow(False, 1)
End Sub

private void DisplayAndSelectDependent()
{
    this.CustomerLastNameCell.Value2 = "Smith";

    this.Range["A1"].Value2 = "=" +
        this.CustomerLastNameCell.Address[false, true,
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, false];

    this.CustomerLastNameCell.ShowDependents(false);
    this.CustomerLastNameCell.NavigateArrow(false, 1);
}
