ReadVBA Property (IWorkbookSet)

Gets or sets the property which specifies whether VBA Macros should be read when reading a workbook.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Property ReadVBA As System.Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As IWorkbookSet
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
instance.ReadVBA = value
 
value = instance.ReadVBA

System.bool ReadVBA {get; set;}

Remarks

VBA Macros are read and written by default. Set this property to false to disable reading of VBA Macros when a workbook is read.

Note that support for VBA Macros is limited to reading and writing the OLE Compound Document streams. VBA Macros cannot be copied, modified or deleted, and are not updated when worksheets or other objects are copied, modified or deleted.

Example

using System;
using SpreadsheetGear;
 
namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Demonstrate a custom function which sums the range of cells or values passed to it.
    /// </summary>
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a new empty workbook.
            IWorkbookSet workbookSet = Factory.GetWorkbookSet();
 
            // Set to not read VBA or Objects (shapes).
            workbookSet.ReadVBA = false;
            workbookSet.ReadObjects = false;
 
            // Read MyWorkbook.xls without VBA or objects.
