2.2.4.10.1 DataRangeEx::Add

Description

Add a new subrange to the DataRangeEx. The subrange is specified by passing an Excel like selection string similar to "[Book1]Sheet1!A[1]:B[2]".


Add a new subrange to the DataRange. The subrange is specified using a Worksheet object and beginning and ending row and column indices.

Syntax

int Add( LPCSTR lpcszRange, LPCSTR lpcszName = NULL )


int Add( Worksheet & wks, int nR1, int nC1, int nR2, int nC2, LPCSTR lpcszName = NULL )

Parameters

lpcszRange
[input]The Excel like range string like "[Book1]Sheet1!A:A"
lpcszName
[input]The name of the subrange like "Range1", "X", "Y" or "ED", if set be NULL, use default string "Range1"


wks
[input]Worksheet in which columns reside
nR1
[input]Row range begin
nC1
[input]Column range begin
nR2
[input]Row range end, use -1 to indicate end of column
nC2
[input]Column range end, if only one column then put in same value as nC1, if to end of worksheet use -1
lpcszName
[input]The name of the subrange like "Range1", "X", "Y" or "ED", if set be NULL, use default string "Range1"

Return

Returns the number of subranges in the DataRangeEx after execution.
