Aspose.Cells (v23.7) doesn’t save modified text in an ActiveX control in non-password-protected XLS files

Aspose.Cells (v23.7) doesn’t save the modified text in an ActiveX control in non-password-protected XLS files. The code runs without an issue, it looks like the text is saved, but the saved file doesn’t show the updated text in the ActiveX control.

I am attaching a sample application, a Visual Studio 2022 solution using C#.

https://files.axiomint.com/external/491571ef8b4a83ea62324bb34ab69a0544508dd51ac443b8ce7d6f033a16bf73

The test file is in folder “\TestPassProtectedXLS\bin\x86\Debug“.

The test file name is “TestFile.xls” - a non-password-protected XLS file with an ActiveX Label control on the first sheet.

Using the second button in the test application “Open/Update/Save“, will open a non-password-protected file, “TestFile.xls”, and update the Caption of the ActiveX Label control and save the file under a different name: “TestFile_Modified.xls”.

Open the modified file and observe that the caption is not changed.

There is no concrete date for the new version as releases are published once ready. Aspose.Cells v23.9 release is on the cards and hopefully it will be published either this week or early next week.
