Protect VBA Project of Excel Workbook with Password

- Check if VBA Project is Protected and Locked for Viewing
- Find out if VBA Project is Protected
The following snippet demonstrates how to protect your Excel Workbook VBA Project dynamically using Aspose.Cells and lock it for viewing.
//Load your source Excel file.
Workbook wb = new Workbook(dirPath + "samplePasswordProtectVBAProject.xlsm");
//Access the VBA project of the workbook.
VbaProject vbaProject = wb.getVbaProject();
//Lock the VBA project for viewing with password.
vbaProject.protect(true, "11");
//Save the output Excel file.
wb.save(dirPath + "outputPasswordProtectVBAProject.xlsm");Specifying Sort Warning While Sorting Data
Aspose.Cells already supports Data Sorting, however earlier you could not specify that you want to sort your textual data as numerical data. For this purpose, Aspose.Cells implemented the DataSorter.SortAsNumber property. Whenever you sort textual data that looks like a number, MS-Excel shows this warning. DataSorter.SortAsNumber property implements this MS-Excel warning.

Specifying DBNum Custom Pattern Formatting
Aspose.Cells supports the DBNum custom pattern formatting. For example, if your cell value is 123 and you specify its custom formatting as [DBNum2][$-804]General then it will be displayed like 壹佰贰拾叁. You can specify custom formatting of your cell using Cell.getStyle() and Style.setCustom() methods.
