WorkbookBase.ReadOnly Property

Definition

Gets a value that indicates whether the workbook has been opened as read-only.

public:
 property bool ReadOnly { bool get(); };
public bool ReadOnly { get; }
member this.ReadOnly : bool
Public ReadOnly Property ReadOnly As Boolean

Property Value

Examples

The following code example displays a message if the ReadOnlyRecommended property is true and the ReadOnly property is false, and then prompts the user to set the file access to read-only by calling the ChangeFileAccess method.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void MakeWorkbookReadOnly()
{
    if (this.ReadOnlyRecommended && !this.ReadOnly)
    {
        // Change the access level of the document to read-only if the user 
        // clicks yes.
        if (MessageBox.Show("Set this document to read-only?",
            "Sample", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)
        {
            this.ChangeFileAccess(Excel.XlFileAccess.xlReadOnly,
                 false);
        }
    }
}
Private Sub MakeWorkbookReadOnly()
    If Me.ReadOnlyRecommended AndAlso Not Me.ReadOnly Then
        ' Change the access level of the document to read-only  
        ' if the user clicks yes.
        If MessageBox.Show("Set this document to read-only?", _
            "Sample", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.Yes Then
            Me.ChangeFileAccess(Excel.XlFileAccess.xlReadOnly, Notify:=False)
        End If
    End If
End Sub
