Public API Changes in Aspose.Cells 17.1.0

Added APIs

Support for Named Ranges

Aspose.Cells for C++ now supports creation as well as the manipulation of the Named Ranges. The following code snippet demonstrates how simple is to use Aspose.Cells for C++ API to create named ranges.

C++

 //Path of your directory where you want to read or write files from

StringPtr dirPath = new String("D:\\Downloads\\");

//Path of output excel file

StringPtr outCreateNamedRange = (new String(dirPath))->Append(new String("outCreateNamedRange.xlsx"));

//Create a workbook

intrusive_ptr<IWorkbook> wb = Factory::CreateIWorkbook();

//Access first worksheet

intrusive_ptr<IWorksheet> ws = wb->GetIWorksheets()->GetObjectByIndex(0);

//Create a range

intrusive_ptr<IRange> rng = ws->GetICells()->CreateIRange((intrusive_ptr<String>)new String("A5:C10"));

//Set its name to make it named range

rng->SetName((intrusive_ptr<String>)new String("MyNamedRange"));

//Read the named range created above from names collection

intrusive_ptr<IName> nm = wb->GetIWorksheets()->GetINames()->GetObjectByIndex(0);

//Print its FullText and RefersTo properties

printf("Full Text: %s\n", nm->GetFullText()->charValue());

printf("Refers To: %s\n", nm->GetRefersTo()->charValue());

//Save the workbook in xlsx format

wb->Save(outCreateNamedRange, SaveFormat_Xlsx);

Besides creating new Named Ranges, Aspose.Cells for C++ APIs also support to manipulate existing Named Ranges. The following code snippet uses the Aspose.Cells for C++ API to manipulate an existing named range.

C++

 //Path of your directory where you want to read or write files from

StringPtr dirPath = new String("D:\\Downloads\\");

//Path of source excel file

StringPtr srcManipulateRange = (new String(dirPath))->Append(new String("srcManipulateRange.xlsx"));

//Path of output excel file

StringPtr outManipulateRange = (new String(dirPath))->Append(new String("outManipulateRange.xlsx"));

//Create a workbook

intrusive_ptr<IWorkbook> wb = Factory::CreateIWorkbook(srcManipulateRange);

//Read the named range created above from names collection

intrusive_ptr<IName> nm = wb->GetIWorksheets()->GetINames()->GetObjectByIndex(0);

//Print its FullText and RefersTo properties

printf("Full Text: %s\n", nm->GetFullText()->charValue());

printf("Refers To: %s\n", nm->GetRefersTo()->charValue());

//Manipulate the RefersTo property of NamedRange

nm->SetRefersTo((intrusive_ptr<String>)new String("=Sheet1!$D$5:$J$10"));

//Save the workbook in xlsx format

wb->Save(outManipulateRange, SaveFormat_Xlsx);

Added ICells::LinkToXmlMap Method

Added IWorksheet::GetIProtectedRangeCollection Method

The GetIProtectedRangeCollection method has been added to the IWorksheet class which is useful in retrieving the collection of IProtectedRange objects.

Added IWorksheet::GetIProtectedRangeCollection Method

The GetIProtectedRangeCollection method has been added to the IWorksheet class which is useful in retrieving the edit range collection from the worksheet.

Added IWorkbookSettings::ClearPivottables Method

The ClearPivottables method has been added to the IWorkbookSettings class which is useful in clearing all Pivot Tables from a given spreadsheet.

Added IWorksheetCollection::CreateIRange Method

The CreateIRange method has been added to the IWorksheetCollection class which is useful in creating an object of the IRange by passing cell references in string format.

Added IExternalLink::IsVisible Method

The IsVisible method gets the visibility status of an external link in Excel application.

Added GetScaleCrop & SetScaleCrop Methods

Aspose.Cells for C++ 17.1.0 has exposed the GetScaleCrop & SetScaleCrop methods to the IBuiltInDocumentPropertyCollection class. These methods are useful to get or set the ScaleCrop property which indicates the display mode of the document thumbnail.

Added GetLinksUpToDate & SetLinksUpToDate Methods

Aspose.Cells for C++ 17.1.0 has exposed the GetLinksUpToDate & SetLinksUpToDate methods to the IBuiltInDocumentPropertyCollection class. These methods are useful to get or set the LinkUpToDate property which indicates whether hyperlinks in a document are up-to-date.

Added GetAbsolutePath & SetAbsolutePath Methods

Added GetCheckCompatibility & SetCheckCompatibility Methods

This release of Aspose.Cells for C++ has exposed the GetCheckCompatibility & GetCheckCompatibility methods for the IWorkbookSettings class. These methods are useful to get or set the compatibility check property indicating if the API should check the compatibility when saving workbook. The default value is true, and can be set to false if application requirement is not to check the compatibility.

Added GetILightCellsDataHandler & SetILightCellsDataHandler Methods

Aspose.Cells for C++ has now exposed the GetILightCellsDataHandler & SetILightCellsDataHandler methods for the ILoadOptions class. These methods denotes the data handler for processing cells data while reading template file.
