Examples

The following code example uses the AutoOutline method to create an outline for a NamedRange control, and then prompts the user to clear the outline by calling the ClearOutline method.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void SetOutline()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange namedRange1 =
        this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["A1", "C5"],
        "namedRange1");

    namedRange1.AutoOutline();

    if (MessageBox.Show("Clear the outline?", "Test",
        MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)
    {
        namedRange1.ClearOutline();
    }
}
Private Sub SetOutline()
    Dim namedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange _
        = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("A1", "C5"), _
        "namedRange1")

    namedRange1.AutoOutline()

    If MessageBox.Show("Clear the outline?", "Test", _
        MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.Yes Then
        namedRange1.ClearOutline()
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

If the NamedRange control is a single cell, Microsoft Office Excel creates an outline for the entire sheet. The new outline replaces any existing outline.
