Axolot Data

Hi,

In Axolot 5 - On Export setting the regions that you don't want to protect using the code below, works as expected, however, when you then read the worksheet the row count reported by Excel and used to load just the rows with data in them into memory is incorrect.

//writing file, unlocking a region.
self.oXLS.CmdFormat.BeginEdit(self.oXLS[0]);
self.oXLS.CmdFormat.Protection.Locked := False;
self.oXLS.CmdFormat.Apply(iC1, iR1, iC2, iR2);

//then setting password.
self.oXLS[0].Protection.Password := FsExcelPassword;

On reading the file when I now get the Excel row count it says there are 65536 rows in the worksheet when in fact there are only 6. This is causing a problem when loading the data into memory for validating. When we use the OLE Excel Protection methods the Excel row count is not affected.

Can you help?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

If you want to format a large area of a worksheet, format the columns as this will not add any rows or cells.

Example:

Code: Select all

self.oXLS.CmdFormat.BeginEdit(self.oXLS[0]);
self.oXLS.CmdFormat.Protection.Locked := False;
self.oXLS.CmdFormat.ApplyCols(iC1, iC2);

cmdFormat.Apply applies to all rows and gives large files

cmdFormat.Apply applies to all rows and gives large files
