WorkbookBase.WritePassword Property

Definition

Gets or sets the write password of a workbook.

public:
 property System::String ^ WritePassword { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };
public string WritePassword { get; set; }
member this.WritePassword : string with get, set
Public Property WritePassword As String

Property Value

The write password of a workbook.

Examples

The following code example uses the WriteReserved property to determine whether the current workbook is write-reserved. If the workbook is not write-reserved, then the method sets the WritePassword property to a password obtained through user input. Otherwise, the example uses the WriteReservedBy property to display the name of the user who saved the workbook as write-reserved. This example assumes the existence of a method named GetPasswordFromUserInput that obtains a strong password from user input.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void SetWritePassword()
{
    if (!this.WriteReserved)
    {
        this.WritePassword = GetPasswordFromUserInput();
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("This workbook was saved as Write Reserved." +
            " Please contact " + this.WriteReservedBy + " to add data.");
    }
}
Private Sub SetWritePassword()
    If Not Me.WriteReserved Then
        Me.WritePassword = GetPasswordFromUserInput()
    Else
        MsgBox("This workbook has been saved as Write Reserved." & _
            " Please contact " & Me.WriteReservedBy & " to add data.")
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

The WritePassword property is readable and returns ">>**".
