Inserting, Deleting, Copying and Moving Cells
In addition to directly modifying cell content, OpenOffice.org Calc also provides an
interface that allows you to insert, delete, copy, or merge cells. The interface (
com.sun.star.sheet.XRangeMovement
) is available through the spreadsheet object and provides four methods for modifying cell
content.
The insertCell method is used to insert cells into a sheet.
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Sheet As Object
Dim CellRangeAddress As New com.sun.star.table.CellRangeAddress
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0)
