Locking cell

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi,

I would like one cell locked and the other unlocked:

    style = m_WorkSheet.Cells[rowIndex, 0].GetStyle();
    style.Font.IsBold = true;
    style.IsLocked = true;
    m_WorkSheet.Cells[0, 0].SetStyle(style);
    m_WorkSheet.Cells[0, 0].PutValue("Title");
    m_WorkSheet.Protect(ProtectionType.All);


    style = m_WorkSheet.Cells[rowIndex, 1].GetStyle();
    style.Font.IsBold = true;
    m_WorkSheet.Cells[0, 1].SetStyle(style);
    m_WorkSheet.Cells[0, 1].PutValue("Edit prices below");

    m_WorkSheet.Protect(ProtectionType.All);

But when I download the spreadsheet the entire sheet is locked, even though I set isLocked on one cell only?

Thanks for using Aspose APIs.

Please see the following code and its output Excel file as well as screenshot for a reference. The code unlocks the cells B5, C5 and D5. You can edit only these three cells and all other cells are protected and cannot be edited.

C#

//Create workbook
Workbook wb = new Workbook();

//Access first worksheet
Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets[0];

//Put some values in cells
ws.Cells["B5"].PutValue("Unlocked");
ws.Cells["C5"].PutValue("Unlocked");
ws.Cells["D5"].PutValue("Unlocked");

//Unlock the cells B5, C5, D5
Cell c = ws.Cells["B5"];
Style s = c.GetStyle();
s.IsLocked = false;

//Unlocking
ws.Cells["B5"].SetStyle(s);
ws.Cells["C5"].SetStyle(s);
ws.Cells["D5"].SetStyle(s);

//Set protection that we allow selecting unlocked cells only
ws.Protection.AllowSelectingUnlockedCell = true;

//Protect the worksheet
ws.Protect(ProtectionType.All);

//Save the output Excel file
wb.Save("output.xlsx");
