Detect if Worksheet is Password Protected with C++

It is possible to protect the workbooks and worksheets separately. For instance, a spreadsheet may contain one or more worksheets that are password-protected, however, the spreadsheet itself may or may not be protected. Aspose.Cells APIs provide the means to detect if a given worksheet is password protected or not. This article demonstrates the usage of Aspose.Cells for C++ API to achieve the same.

Aspose.Cells for C++ has exposed the Protection.IsProtectedWithPassword property to detect if a worksheet is password protected or not. Boolean type Protection.IsProtectedWithPassword property returns true if Worksheet is password-protected and false if not.

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

using namespace Aspose::Cells;

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

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

    // Create an instance of Workbook and load a spreadsheet
    Workbook book(srcDir + u"sample.xlsx");

    // Access the protected Worksheet
    Worksheet sheet = book.GetWorksheets().Get(0);

    // Check if Worksheet is password protected
    if (sheet.GetProtection().IsProtectedWithPassword())
    {
        std::cout << "Worksheet is password protected" << std::endl;
    }
    else
    {
        std::cout << "Worksheet is not password protected" << std::endl;
    }

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
    return 0;
}
