vR2

[output] Receives the vector of indices of the last rows in the selection, if any

vC2

[output] Receives the vector of indices of the last columns in the selection, if any

pstrAddress

[output] if not NULL, pointer to receives the address of the Excel selection range as string (assuming it is an Excel worksheet).

Examples

EX1

int Worksheet_GetSelectedRange_Ex1()
{
    WorksheetPage wp = Project.WorksheetPages(0);
    if(!wp)
        return -1;
    
    Worksheet wks(wp.GetName());
    int r1, c1, r2, c2;
    string strAddress;
    int seltype = wks.GetSelectedRange(r1, c1, r2, c2, &strAddress);
    printf("sel = %d\tr1 = %d\tc1 = %d\tr2 = %d\tc2 = %d\n", seltype, r1, c1, r2, c2);
    out_str(strAddress);
    return seltype;
}

EX2

int Worksheet_GetSelectedRange_Ex2()
{
    vector<int> vr1, vc1, vr2, vc2;
    string strRange;
    int iRegions;
    
    WorksheetPage wp = Project.WorksheetPages(0);
    if(!wp)
        return -1;
    
    Worksheet wks(wp.GetName());
    iRegions = wks.GetSelectedRange(vr1, vc1, vr2, vc2, strRange);
    for(int ii = 0 ; ii < iRegions ; ii++)
    {
        printf("Region %u : R%d C%d : R%d C%d\n", ii, vr1[ii], vc1[ii], vr2[ii], vc2[ii]);
    }
    printf("Selection : %s\n", strRange);
    return iRegions;
}
