'Declaration
 
Property ReadObjects As System.Boolean

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

System.bool ReadObjects {get; set;}

read-write property ReadObjects: System.Boolean;

function get,set ReadObjects : System.boolean

__property System.bool get_ReadObjects();
__property void set_ReadObjects( 
   System.bool value
);

property System.bool ReadObjects {
   System.bool get();
   void set (    System.bool value);
}

Remarks

Charts, pictures and drawing objects are read and written by default. Set this property to false to disable reading of charts, pictures and drawing objects when a workbook is read.

Note that setting ReadDrawingObjects to false will not disable reading of chart sheets.

            // Set to not read VBA or Objects (shapes).
            workbookSet.ReadVBA = false;
            workbookSet.ReadObjects = false;
