Worksheet

Remark

The Worksheet class provides methods and properties common to worksheet layers in Origin worksheet pages. An Origin worksheet may contain a number of worksheet columns thus the Worksheet class contains a collection of all the columns in the worksheet.

An Origin C Worksheet object is a wrapper object that is a reference to an internal Origin worksheet object. Origin C wrapper objects do not actually exist in Origin and merely refer to the internal Origin object. Consequently, multiple Origin C wrapper objects can refer to the same internal Origin object.

The Worksheet class is derived from the Datasheet, Layer, and OriginObject classes from which it inherits methods and properties.

Examples

EX1

// Delete all the columns in the active worksheet.
int Worksheet_Worksheet_Ex1()
{
    Worksheet wks = Project.ActiveLayer();
    if(wks)
    {
        out_int("Number of columns to be deleted = ", wks.GetNumCols());
        // The following loop will continue until it fails to delete the first
        // column in the worksheet.  Each time the first column is deleted the
        // other columns are shifted left causing the second column to become
        // the first column.
        while(wks.DeleteCol(0));
    }
    else
        out_str("The active window is not a worksheet.");
    return 0;
}

EX2

// Access a specific sheet in a specific book
void Worksheet_Worksheet_Ex2()
{
    Worksheet wks("[Book2]Sheet3");
    if(wks)
    {
        int nR1, nR2;
        wks.GetBounds(nR1, 0, nR2, -1);// need to convert to LabTalk indexing by +1
            printf("Worksheet [%s]%s has %d rows of data\n", wks.GetPage().GetName(), wks.GetName(), nR2+1);
    }
    else
        out_str("No such sheet");
}
