long CSpreadSheet::GetAppearanceStyle( )
void CSpreadSheet::SetAppearanceStyle(long value)

Remarks

The AppearanceStyle property lets you use predefined styles to create the control appearance. The setting of this property determines which properties or methods can be used to further customize the control. The enhanced methods such as SetEnhancedColumnHeaderColors, etc... will have no effect if the style is classic. The ScrollBarColor property will have no effect if the style is enhanced.

A new, default Spread control will use the enhanced appearance style. A Spread control that has been upgraded from a version prior to 8.0 will use the classic style.

This setting is applied to the entire workbook, including all sheets in the control.

The following settings are available:

Setting	Description	Constants
0 - Classic	Creates a control with the classic Spread 7 appearance	AppearanceStyleClassic
1 - VisualStyles	Creates a control that uses the system settings for the visual style	AppearanceStyleVisualStyles
2 - Enhanced	Creates a control with three-dimensional headers and focus indicators for the active cell	AppearanceStyleEnhanced
