Examples

The following code example makes cell A1 a dependent of a NamedRange. The example then uses the ShowDependents method to draw an arrow between the NamedRange and the dependent cell, and calls the NavigateArrow method to select the dependent cell.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub DisplayAndSelectDependents()
    Dim namedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange _
        = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("C1"), _
        "namedRange1")
    namedRange1.Value2 = "Smith" 

    Me.Range("A1").Value2 = "=" & _
        namedRange1.Address(False, True, _
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, False, )

    namedRange1.ShowDependents(False)
    namedRange1.NavigateArrow(False, 1, )
End Sub

private void DisplayAndSelectDependents()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange namedRange1 =
        this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["C1"],
        "namedRange1");
    namedRange1.Value2 = "Smith";

    this.Range["A1"].Value2 = "=" +
        namedRange1.Address[false, true,
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, false];

    namedRange1.ShowDependents(false);
    namedRange1.NavigateArrow(false, 1);
}
