CreateReference Method

'Declaration
 
Function CreateReference( _
   ByVal referenceString As System.String _
) As IExcelCalcReference

IExcelCalcReference CreateReference( 
   System.string referenceString
)

Parameters

referenceString

The reference string.

Return Value

A external reference has the form "//object_name/object_specific_part". The control identified by object_name must implement IExcelCalcReference and be able to parse object_specific_part.

An internal reference is a reference within the same control that implements this instance of the interface. An internal reference can be absolute or relative. Absolute references must begin with the "/" character. Such references must be created relative to the root object in the control. Relative references are created relative to this reference.

Note that in complex reference models, multiple reference strings may point to the same underlying object. The reference string used to create the reference must be available to other methods such as ResolveReference, References and MarkRelativeIndicies. Consequently, if the reference string is relative, a proxy reference object should be returned that retains the relative reference string.
