Check if VBA Project is Protected and Locked for Viewing in C++

Aspose.Cells allows you to check if the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) Project of an Excel file is protected and locked for viewing. For this, the API provides the VbaProject.GetIslockedForViewing() property. If it is locked for viewing, then the VbaProject.GetIslockedForViewing() property returns true.

Sample Code

The following sample code loads the sample Excel file and checks if the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) Project of the Excel file is protected and locked for viewing. Please also see its Console Output for a reference.

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"

using namespace Aspose::Cells;
using namespace Aspose::Cells::Vba;

int main()
{
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // Source directory path
    U16String srcDir(u"..\\Data\\01_SourceDirectory\\");

    // Path of input Excel file
    U16String inputFilePath = srcDir + u"sampleCheckifVBAProjectisProtected.xlsm";

    // Load your source Excel file
    Workbook wb(inputFilePath);

    // Access the VBA project of the workbook
    VbaProject vbaProject = wb.GetVbaProject();

    // Check if "Lock project for viewing" is true or not
    std::cout << "Is VBA Project Locked for Viewing: " << vbaProject.GetIslockedForViewing() << std::endl;

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
}
