Framework library functions that create a temporary XLOPER/XLOPER12 containing an external reference to an entire column on the active sheet.
LPXLOPER TempActiveColumn(BYTE col);
LPXLOPER12 TempActiveColumn12(COL col);
Parameters
col (BYTE)
The column to be referenced. This is zero-based so that column A is passed as 0. In Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and earlier versions, and in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 running a workbook in compatibility mode, the maximum value is 255 = 2^8 - 1 and is the maximum value that can be taken by a BYTE integer. In Excel 2007 running a 2007 format workbook, the maximum value is 16,383 = 2^14 - 1. COL is defined as a 32-bit signed integer in XLCALL.H.
Return Value
Returns an xltypeRef external reference to the column passed in.
