Use a NamedRange control

This example is for document-level customizations.

To apply color to a NamedRange control

  1. Create a NamedRange control at cell A1.

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange rng =
    this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["A1"], "NamedRange1");

    Dim rng As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange = _
    Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("A1"), "NamedRange1")

  2. Set the color of the text in the NamedRange control.

    rng.Font.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.Red);

    rng.Font.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.Red)

Use native Excel ranges

To apply color to a native Excel range object

  1. Create a range at cell A1 and then set the color of the text.

    Excel.Range rng2 = this.Application.get_Range("A1");
rng2.Font.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.Red);

    Dim rng2 As Excel.Range = Me.Application.Range("A1")
rng2.Font.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.Red)
