2.2.4.9.5 DataRange::Create

Create

Description

Create a valid DataRange object.

Syntax

int Create( LPCSTR lpcszRangeStr = NULL, int nXVtype = XVT_DATARANGE, BOOL bCreateTargets = false )

BOOL Create( TreeNode & tr, BOOL bOneData = TRUE )

Parameters

lpcszRangeStr

[input]the range string, like "[Book1]Sheet1!Col(A)"

nXVtype

[input]X variable type defined in oc_sys.h

bCreateTargets

[input]TRUE means new target is created. FALSE remains origin.

tr

[input]the tree containing the range data

bOneData

[input]TRUE means only one range is added to tree. False means add multiple ranges.

Return

zero if successful, otherwise erroe code.

TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE.

Examples

EX1

//Assume there is an active worksheet with two columns(Col(A) and Col(B)).
//This example will create two new columns and use them to construct a datarange.
//Then fill the two columns with some data and draw a scatter graph.
void DataRange_Create_Ex1()
{
	Worksheet wks = Project.ActiveLayer();
	DataRange dr;
	//Creat Col(C) and Col(D) and use the two columns to construct a datarange.
	dr.Create("Col(C)", XVT_DATARANGE, true);//true mean create two new columns.
	dr.Create("Col(D)", XVT_XYDATARANGE, true);	
	wks.GetPage().Refresh(); //Refresh to show the new added columns.

	Column colC;
	colC.Attach(wks, 2);
	colC.SetFormula("5*(i-1)");
	colC.ExecuteFormula(); //Fill values in ColC with formula:5*(i-1) 
	
	Column colD;
	colD.Attach(wks, 3);
	// set Recalculate = Auto
	colD.SetFormula("sin(4*Col(C)*pi/180)", AU_AUTO);
	colD.ExecuteFormula();//Fill values in ColD with formula:sin(4*Col(C)*pi/180


	GraphPage gp;
    gp.Create("Origin", CREATE_HIDDEN);//Create a hidden blank graph page.
    if( gp )
    {
