Adding a Title and Subtitle to a Sheet

You can add a specially formatted area at the top of the spreadsheet that includes either a title or a subtitle or both. An example is shown here of a spreadsheet that has a title and a subtitle.

Spread control with red grid lines

The title is set using the TitleInfo property at the FpSpread level. The subtitle is set using the TitleInfo property at the sheet level. So titles apply to the overall Spread component, while subtitles can be different for each sheet.

The API members that are involved include:

TitleInfo Class and all members
SheetView TitleInfo Property
FpSpread TitleInfo Property

Using a Shortcut

Set the properties of the TitleInfo class.
