Question Comments
Added By: Goran Ambrosic at: 9/7/2017 6:03:55 AM Hi guys,
I am facing an issue with the worksheet protection.
In a tested sheet (Workbook created with Excel Pro 2016), I've Unlocked one cell ("B8").
Others are locked by default in Excel.
Then I try to programmatically protect the Sheet, via the API:
worksheet.Protect("password", WorksheetProtectionPermissions.Default)
as you've suggested.
In Visual Studio debugger I can confirm that before the call, worksheet.IsProtected was false and after the call true.
Also,
worksheet.Cells["B7"].Protection.Locked == true
as any other cell in a worksheet, except for the one chosen not to be locked, i.e.
worksheet.Cells["B8"].Protection.Locked == false.
However, I can update the value of any Locked cell.
The same is unclear in your example
ProtectionActions.cs, in a method static void ProtectWorksheet(Workbook workbook)worksheet.Cells["B2"].Value
after the call
worksheet.Protect("password", WorksheetProtectionPermissions.Default);
What am I missing?
