SaveToFile Method
Applies To
fpSpread control
Description
Saves the data only, or the data with formatting, to a binary file.
Syntax
BOOL CSpreadSheet::SaveToFile (LPCTSTR FileName, BOOL DataOnly);
fpSpread.SaveToFile(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal DataOnly As Boolean) As Boolean
Parameters
The following parameters are available:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
FileName | Path and file name of file to which to save binary data |
DataOnly | True to save data only; False to save data with formatting |
Remarks
This method is applied to the entire workbook, including all sheets in the control. All the sheets in the control are saved to the binary file.
Binary files are in a proprietary format that only the fpSpread control or the Spread Designer can read. By default, binary files created using Spread or the Spread Designer have the extension .SS8. However, you may use any extension.
If the DataOnly parameter is set to True, only the data is saved. This creates a much smaller file; however, formatting information (such as cell types) is not saved. To save the data with formatting, set the DataOnly parameter to False.
Return Type
True if successful; otherwise, False.
