Remarks

Select Sheets

The following example shows how to select all odd sheets in a workbook:

C#

SheetCollection sheets = workbook.Sheets;
for (int i = sheets.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    if (i % 2 == 0)
        sheets[i].ActiveView.IsSelected = true;

VB.NET

Dim sheets As SheetCollection = workbook.Sheets
For i As Integer = sheets.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
    If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
        sheets(i).ActiveView.IsSelected = True
    End If
Next i

Use the SheetCollection.ActiveSheet property to specify the active sheet in the document. The IsSelected property value is always true for the active sheet and cannot be changed to false.

Retrieve Selected Sheets

The following example retrieves names of selected sheets:

C#

using System.Collections.Generic;
using DevExpress.Utils.Extensions;
using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
// ...

SheetCollection sheets = workbook.Sheets;
List<string> selectedSheetNames = new List<string>();
sheets.ForEach((sheet) => {
    if (sheet.ActiveView.IsSelected)
        selectedSheetNames.Add(sheet.Name);
});

VB.NET

Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports DevExpress.Utils.Extensions
Imports DevExpress.Spreadsheet
' ...

Dim sheets As SheetCollection = workbook.Sheets
Dim selectedSheetNames As New List(Of String)()
sheets.ForEach(Sub(sheet)
    If sheet.ActiveView.IsSelected Then
        selectedSheetNames.Add(sheet.Name)
    End If
End Sub)
