Trouble with "allow users to edit ranges"

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi,

I saw the post : I've got the same trouble when I save my document. Every cells that I allow users to edit ranges simply disappear. Since this post was written in 2005, maybe there is a fix in the new version ? I'm currently using Aspose.Cells for .NET v4.8.2.0.

I'm working in Societe Generale and we need this functionality to purchase the licence.

What I'm doing :

1. Creation of a template ProtectSheetTemplate.xlsm in which I only allow users to edit ranges (Columns D and E)

2. In my code I open the template and apply protection (I'm not using the Protect method)

This is my code:

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

string templateFileName = Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\ProtectSheetTemplate.xlsm";

workbook.Open(templateFileName);

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

worksheet.Protection.Password = "test";

worksheet.Protection.IsFilteringAllowed = true;

worksheet.Protection.IsSelectingLockedCellsAllowed = true;

worksheet.Protection.IsSelectingUnlockedCellsAllowed = true;

worksheet.Protection.IsDeletingColumnsAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsDeletingRowsAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsEditingContentsAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsEditingObjectsAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsEditingScenariosAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsFormattingCellsAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsFormattingColumnsAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsFormattingRowsAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsInsertingColumnsAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsInsertingHyperlinksAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsInsertingRowsAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsSortingAllowed = false;

worksheet.Protection.IsUsingPivotTablesAllowed = false;

workbook.Save(Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\ProtectSheet.xls", FileFormatType.ExcelXP);

Even if I only open the template and save the file with another name, all the edit ranges I previously allowed have simply disappeared in the output document.

My template is in attach file:

Thanks for your response.

Hi,<o:p></o:p>

We have supported the "allow users to edit ranges" feature for your need. Please try the attached version.


Kindly consult the following code, it will work fine with your template file:

Workbook book = new Workbook();
book.Open(infn);
Worksheet sheet = book.Worksheets[0];
AllowEditRanges allowRanges = sheet.AllowEditRanges;
AllowEditRange range;
if (allowRanges.Count > 0)
{
range = allowRanges[0];
Console.WriteLine(range.Name);
Console.Write(" " + range.CellArea.StartRow + "," + range.CellArea.StartColumn + ","
+ range.CellArea.EndRow + "," + range.CellArea.EndColumn);
}

int idx = allowRanges.Add("r2", 1, 1, 3, 3);
range = allowRanges[idx];
range.Password = "1";

book.Save(outfn);


Thank you
