• Summary Tab - This tab displays information such as the Title, Subject and Author. You can enter your custom details such as the Manager name and Company name using this menu. Further, you can list the keywords of your choice, apply Comments and add Hyperlink base information to the spreadsheet.
• Contents Tab - This tab displays the list of the items present in the workbook such as the number of worksheets.

Using the Spread Designer

In order to access the DocumentProperties dialog through Spread Designer, you can select the Properties option available in the File Menu.

Using Code

This example code shows how to use a Document Properties Form to store the summary and review information.

//Get Workbook from fpSpread1
GrapeCity.Spreadsheet.Workbook workbook = fpSpread1.AsWorkbook();
//Call the DocumentPropertiesForm
FarPoint.Win.Spread.DocumentPropertiesForm form = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.DocumentPropertiesForm(workbook);
form.Show();

'Get Workbook from fpSpread1
Dim workbook As GrapeCity.Spreadsheet.Workbook = fpSpread1.AsWorkbook()
'Call the DocumentPropertiesForm
Dim form As FarPoint.Win.Spread.DocumentPropertiesForm = New FarPoint.Win.Spread.DocumentPropertiesForm(workbook)
form.Show()

The DocumentProperties property in the FpSpread class represents all the properties of the spread document that can be get or set by the users.

fpSpread1.DocumentProperties.Title = "Spread Mescius";
fpSpread1.DocumentProperties.Creator = "Mescius";
fpSpread1.DocumentProperties.Version = "12.0.0.0";
fpSpread1.DocumentProperties.Description = "Test values for Excel summary";
fpSpread1.DocumentProperties.Application = "Test Application";

'Set the view type for the sheetview
fpSpread1.Sheets(0).View = GrapeCity.Spreadsheet.SheetViewType.PageLayout
'Set the Excel summary properties using Spread's "DocumentProperties" API
fpSpread1.DocumentProperties.Title = "Spread Mescius"
fpSpread1.DocumentProperties.Creator = "Mescius"
fpSpread1.DocumentProperties.Version = "12.0.0.0"
