Remarks

If you copy data from the SpreadsheetControl to an external spreadsheet application (another SpreadsheetControl instance or Microsoft® Excel®), theme formatting can change for the copied data to use the destination workbook’s theme colors and fonts.

To preserve theme formatting for copied data, set the source workbook’s KeepThemeColors and KeepThemeFonts properties to true. In this case, theme colors are converted to the corresponding custom RGB colors, and theme fonts become user-defined fonts with the font scheme None.

If you programmatically copy data between workbooks with different themes applied, you can use the following properties to preserve the source workbook’s theme colors and fonts:

• SpreadsheetCopyOptions.KeepSourceThemeColors

• SpreadsheetCopyOptions.KeepSourceThemeFonts
