ZK Spreadsheet Essentials/Working with ZK Spreadsheet/Configure and Control ZK Spreadsheet/Protect Worksheet or Workbook Elements

Purpose

Preventing end users from modifying important data, ZK Spreadsheet allow developers to apply protection to worksheet or cells.

Protection

On default, the sheet is not protected and the cell is locked. In this status, the cell can be modified.

Protected sheet
Protected sheet with locked cell. In this status, the cell can not be modified.

Protected sheet with unlocked cell. In this status, the cell can be modified

Protect Worksheet

Use Range.protectSheet(String) to set worksheet protection.

public void onClick$toggleSheetProtection(Event event) {
	final Worksheet sheet = spreadsheet.getSelectedSheet();
	boolean sheetProtection = !sheet.getProtect();
	Ranges.range(sheet).protectSheet(sheetProtection ? "password" : null);
}

Lock cells

Use CellStyle.setLocked(Boolean) to lock cell. Use Range.setStyle(CellStyle) to update cell style.

public void onClick$toggleLockCells(Event event) {
	final Worksheet sheet = spreadsheet.getSelectedSheet();
	boolean lock = !Utils.getOrCreateCell(sheet, topRow, leftCol).getCellStyle().getLocked();
	for (int r = topRow; r <= bottomRow; r++) {
		for (int c = leftCol; c <= rightCol; c++) {
			Cell cell = Utils.getOrCreateCell(sheet, r, c);
			CellStyle cellStyle = cell.getCellStyle();
			if (cellStyle.getLocked() != lock) {
				CellStyle newCellStyle = cloneStyle(cellStyle, sheet.getBook());
				newCellStyle.setLocked(lock);
				Ranges.range(sheet, r, c).setStyle(newCellStyle);
			}
		}
	}
}
