ProtectedRange.SetPassword(String) Method

Specifies the password that unlocks a range on a protected worksheet.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

C#

void SetPassword(
    string password
)

VB.NET

Sub SetPassword(
    password As String
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
password	String	A string that is the password that the end-user must enter to edit the protected range.

Remarks

When the end-user attempts to edit cells in a protected range on a protected sheet, the Unlock Range dialog appears prompting for a password. Entering the string specified by the SetPassword method unlocks the worksheet range specified by the ProtectedRange.Range or the ProtectedRange.RefersTo properties.

You can also specify a ProtectedRange.SecurityDescriptor which enables particular users to edit the range without entering the password.
