Feature request for Excel.web

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Lawrence,
We love the look of the Excel.Web product, but there are a few features we would love to see:
1. Prevent data entry into cells that are locked (or protected).

2. Allow for drop-down lists in cells (Excel validation feature)

3. Provide a double click event on the row/cell. That way, we can use this viewer as a launch pad to other parts of the application (based on where the user double-clicks).
This last point is the most important. At the moment, your only choice with the viewer is to save the whole thing back to the server. An alternative may be to add a link or button to a row so you take some action.

Any idea of time frame? We are developing our application now… :slight_smile:

Thanks

@JgiMitch,
Aspose.Excel is discarded and a new product Aspose.Cells has replaced it that contains a lot of features and components including GridWeb that can fulfill all these requirements. You can import/export Excel file into this component and also apply styles, work with events, double click, print, create custom command buttons, add/remove context menu items and many more. You need minimum code to open Excel files in the GridWeb control as follows.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-.NET
// Gets the web application's path.
string path = (this.Master as Site).GetDataDir();

string fileName = path + "\\GridWebBasics\\SampleData.xls";

// Imports from an excel file.
GridWeb1.ImportExcelFile(fileName);

For detailed information about GridWeb you may visit the following link:

Similarly, you may download the following sample project to test different features of this control:
