Examples
The following code example uses the Protect method to protect all contents of the current Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ChartSheetBase. The example then uses the ProtectContents property to verify that the chart sheet is protected, and then prompts the user to remove protection from the chart sheet by using the Unprotect method.
Private Sub ChartSheetProtection()
Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "A5").Value2 = 22
Globals.Sheet1.Range("B1", "B5").Value2 = 55
Me.SetSourceData(Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "B5"), _
Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns)
Me.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn
Me.Protect(DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=True, UserInterfaceOnly:=False)
If Me.ProtectContents Then
If DialogResult.Yes = MessageBox.Show("The chart sheet" & _
" is protected. Unprotect the chart sheet?", _
"Example", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) Then
Me.Unprotect()
End If
End If
End Sub
private void ChartSheetProtection()
{
Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "A5"].Value2 = 22;
Globals.Sheet1.Range["B1", "B5"].Value2 = 55;
this.SetSourceData(Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "B5"],
Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns);
this.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn;
this.Protect(true, true, true, false);
if (this.ProtectContents)
{
if (DialogResult.Yes ==
MessageBox.Show("The chart sheet is protected. " +
"Unprotect the chart sheet?", "Example",
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo))
{
this.Unprotect();
}
}
}
