ig.excel.CustomView
Remarks
Custom views provide a way to save display options and optionally print options for the workbook and each worksheet in the workbook. These options can be different from the options currently set on the workbook and worksheets.
Multiple custom views can be saved with a workbook, and the options from a custom view can be applied to its associated workbook by calling the CustomView.apply method on it.
Dependencies
-
apply
- .apply( );
Applies all options from the custom view to the associated workbook and its worksheets.
Exceptions
Exception Description ig.InvalidOperationException The custom view has previously been removed from its associated workbook. Remarks
There is no state of the workbook indicating the custom view currently applied, so applying a custom view simply copies over all options saved with it to the workbook and its worksheet. If an applied custom view is then changed, those changes will not be updated on the workbook or worksheets. Instead, the custom view will need to be applied again for those changes to be reflected on the workbook or worksheet.
