Remarks

Create a Check Box Form Control

The code sample below creates a checkbox control:

using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.LoadDocument("Document.xlsx");
var cellRange = workbook.Worksheets[0].Range["B2:C4"];
var checkBoxControl = formControls.AddCheckBox(cellRange);
checkBoxControl.CheckState = FormControlCheckState.Checked;
checkBoxControl.PlainText = "Reviewed";

Note

The FormControlCollection.AddCheckBox method call adds a new item to both FormControlCollection and ShapeCollection.

Obtain Check Box Form Controls

The Worksheet.FormControls property obtains all form controls in a worksheet. You can use one of the following ways to obtain a specific form control:

The FormControl.Id and FormControl.Name properties return the form control’s identifier and name.

Modify Check Box Form Controls

Use the CheckBoxFormControl class properties to change checkbox parameters. The code sample below obtains all checkboxes, unchecks them, and enables 3D shading:

using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
using System.Linq;

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.LoadDocument("Document.xlsx");

var formControls = workbook.Worksheets[0].FormControls;

var checkBoxes = formControls.Where(formControl => formControl.FormControlType == FormControlType.CheckBox).Cast<CheckBoxFormControl>();
foreach (CheckBoxFormControl checkBox in checkBoxes) {
    checkBox.Shading3D = true;
    checkBox.CheckState = FormControlCheckState.Unchecked;
}

Remove Check Box Controls

Call the FormControlCollection.Remove or FormControlCollection.RemoveAt method to remove a form control. The FormControlCollection.Clear() method removes all form controls from a worksheet.

The code sample below removes all check boxes from a worksheet:

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.LoadDocument("Document.xlsx");

var formControls = workbook.Worksheets[0].FormControls;

for (int i = formControls.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (formControls[i].FormControlType == FormControlType.CheckBox)
        formControls.RemoveAt(i);
}
