Description cno 2006-11-12 20:50:51 UTC
Hi *,

Following on #57708, there are some more posibilities from Excel to mention.
Couldn't find an issue, so make one here.

On protecting a sheet in Excel, permission can be given on each of these points:
- Select locked cells
- Select unlocked cells
- format cells
- format columns
- format rows
- inster columns
- insert rows
- insert hyperlinks
- delete columns
- delete rows
- sort
- use autofilter
- use pivot table reports
- edit objects
- edit scenarios

This patch does part of the internal heavy lift to implement this feature.  I
had to work on this recently for our Novell customers.  What the patch does is

1) Imports and exports relevant sheet protection options from and to an Excel
document,

2) Stores the sheet protection options internally so that Calc core can access
that information as needed, and

3) Use that information to restrict cell selection behaviors.  For this, "select
(un)locked cells" options are used to control the behavior.

What still needs to be done going forward:

1) Utilize the remaining sheet protection options, such as allow/disallow
autofilters etc. and manipulate the relevant Calc behaviors when the sheet is
protected, and

2) Create a nice UI for it. -> user experience / specification requirements?

For the record, all of the options that Cor listed are loaded, stored, and saved
in this patch.

for the record: great news, Kohei :-)

Hi Niklas,

please have a look at this one and proceed as needed.

Apart from what you mention, also missing is load & save to ODS, including
specification. It's nice to have this as a starting point for a complete
implementation, but it's not something that can be handled as a patch.

I've created the scsheetprotection01 CWS for this.

Comment 9 kyoshida 2007-09-12 17:53:56 UTC
I'm taking this.
Comment 10 kyoshida 2007-09-12 17:54:22 UTC
starting it.
Comment 11 Martin Hollmichel 2007-11-09 16:51:58 UTC
change target from 2.x to 3.x according to
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Target_3x
Comment 12 kyoshida 2008-07-07 15:56:06 UTC
From my prospective, I can initially implement:

- Select locked cells
- Select unlocked cells

and take care of the rest of the options at a later time.

Just to update, the ODF file format change is still under review and not yet
finalized.

Here is the file format change proposal for the interested:
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/Spreadsheet_Table_Protection_Options

Meanwhile, scsheetprotection02 which includes refactoring of Calc code in
preparation for this feature is pending QA (has been for a month now).

Do you have some news about your proposal to OASIS?
Pending since july 2008...
