ExportToHTML Method
Applies To
fpSpread control
Description
Exports the portion of the sheet that contains data to an HTML file.
Syntax
BOOL CSpreadSheet::ExportToHTML(LPCTSTR FileName, BOOL AppendFlag, LPCTSTR LogFile);
fpSpread.ExportToHTML(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal AppendFlag As Boolean, ByVal LogFile As String) As Boolean
Parameters
The following parameters are available:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| FileName | Path and file name of HTML file to create |
| AppendFlag | Set to True to append export at the end of an existing file; set to False to overwrite an existing file or to create a new file. |
| LogFile | (Obsolete. Any string provided for this parameter is ignored.) |
Remarks
Use this method to export the portion of the sheet that contains data to an HTML file. The export creates an HTML file that provides the sheet's data as an HTML table. The tags used to create the HTML table conform to HTML 3.2 (or later) guidelines.
This method is called for the current sheet setting unless you first set the Sheet property to specify the sheet with which you want to work.
By default, HTML files created using Spread or the Spread Designer have the extension .HTM. However, you may use any extension.
If you would rather export a range in the sheet to an HTML table rather than exporting the entire sheet, call the ExportRangeToHTML method.
| Tip: You might want to save to a Spread (.SS8) file in addition to exporting it to HTML so that you can open the Spread (.SS8) file for future modifications. |
The following table summarizes the formats to which you can save data from a workbook or sheet:
| To Save To . . . | Use Method |
|---|---|
| Binary file (proprietary format) | SaveToFile |
| Tab-delimited file | SaveTabFile or SaveTabFileU |
| Delimited file (offers user-defined delimiters) | ExportToTextFile or ExportRangeToTextFile or ExportToTextFileU or ExportRangeToTextFileU |
| Excel-formatted file | ExportExcelBook or ExportToExcel |
| HTML file | ExportToHTML or ExportRangeToHTML |
| XML file | ExportToXML or ExportRangeToXML |
| XML buffer | ExportToXMLBuffer or ExportRangeToXMLBuffer |
| An array | GetArray |
