Easiest Way to Have View Only WorkBookView

Hi,
I have multiple worksheets in a workbook. When I use the workbookview I was wondering how I could disable any editing or moving of the cells. I don't want any direct changing of the text in cells or them to be deleted. Also I don't want the tabs for the worksheets to be renamable. Also is it possible to stop row and column resizing by user. Ultimately, what would be the best way to accomplish these goals?
Thanks,
Jacob

Hi,

You can use the following set of properties and events to achieve this (workbook is a reference to the Workbook and view is a reference to the WorkbookView:

Code
Select All
workbook.WorksheetCellChanging += (s, e) => e.Cancel = true;

view.AllowResizeCells = false;
view.AllowTabEdit = false;
view.AllowMoveHeaders = false;
view.AllowMoveCells = false;
view.AllowAutoFill = false;
view.AllowDrop = false;
view.InplaceEditStarting += (s, e) => e.Cancel = true;

At the moment header resizing cannot be turned off. We can add this for you if it is essential for your project.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Meppy

This is so close. I also want the background color to be Color.LightGray and the foreground color to be Color.Brown when it is view only (readonly).

I inserted this code:
view.BackColor = Color.LightGray;
view.ForeColor = Color.Brown;

But it has no effect. Am I missing some step?

Hi,

Do you mean changing the cells' white background and black text color? Try setting these through a row or cell range style -

Code
Select All
//var globalStyle = activeSheet.CellRanges[0, 0, activeSheet.Columns.Count - 1, activeSheet.Rows.Count - 1].Style;
var globalStyle = activeSheet.Rows[0, activeSheet.Rows.Count - 1].Style;
globalStyle.Background = new MindFusion.Drawing.SolidBrush(Color.LightGray);
globalStyle.TextColor = Color.Brown;
