Examples

The following code example makes cell A1 a precedent of a NamedRange. The example then uses the ShowPrecedents method to draw an arrow between the NamedRange and the precedent cell.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub DisplayPrecedents()
    Me.Range("A1").Value2 = 1710

    Dim namedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange _
        = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("C1"), _
        "namedRange1")
    namedRange1.Value2 = "=A1"
    namedRange1.ShowPrecedents(False)
End Sub

private void DisplayPrecedents()
{
    this.Range["A1", missing].Value2 = 1710;

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange namedRange1 =
        this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["C1", missing],
        "namedRange1");
    namedRange1.Value2 = "=A1";
    namedRange1.ShowPrecedents(false);
}
