NamedRange.Change Event (2007 System)

Updated: July 2008

Occurs when something changes in the NamedRange control.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v9.0 (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v9.0.dll)
public event DocEvents_ChangeEventHandler Change

This event is raised if the NamedRange control is changed by either a programmatic modification or user interaction. This event does not occur when cells in a NamedRange control change during a recalculation.

The following code example creates a NamedRange and a Change event handler. To raise the Change event, add text to one of the cells in the NamedRange and then press ENTER.

This version is for a document-level customization.

Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange changesRange;
private void NotifyChanges()
{
    changesRange = this.Controls.AddNamedRange(
        this.Range["B2", "E5"], "compositeRange");
    changesRange.Change += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.
        DocEvents_ChangeEventHandler(changesRange_Change);
}

void changesRange_Change(Excel.Range Target)
{
    string cellAddress = Target.get_Address(missing, missing, 
        Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1,
        missing, missing);
    MessageBox.Show("Cell " + cellAddress + " changed.");
}


This version is for an application-level add-in.

NamedRange changesRange;
private void NotifyChanges()
{
    Worksheet vstoWorksheet = ((Excel.Worksheet)
        this.Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets[1]).GetVstoObject();
    changesRange = vstoWorksheet.Controls.AddNamedRange(
        vstoWorksheet.Range["B2", "E5"], "compositeRange");
    changesRange.Change += new Excel.DocEvents_ChangeEventHandler(
        changesRange_Change);
}

void changesRange_Change(Excel.Range Target)
{
    string cellAddress = Target.get_Address(missing, missing,
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1,
        missing, missing);
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Cell " + cellAddress +
        " changed.");
}
