The status bar of the Spread Designer provides information about the current component and the object in the FpSpread component with which you are working.
In the following figure, the status bar shows that we are working with a Cells item and that a selection of cells, from B3 (index 2,1) to D6 (index 5,3). The zoom factor is 100%.
If you selected cell B4 in the top, right viewport for a sheet displaying four viewports, the selection would read "Selection (3,1),(3,1)".
This table summarizes the possible selected items and their status notation:
| Selected Item | Selection Notation |
|---|---|
| Cells | The range of cells that are selected is indicated by the two sets of coordinates, the first set of coordinates being the starting cell and the second set of coordinates being the ending cell. If only one cell is selected, both beginning and ending cell coordinates are the same. If you select all the cells in a sheet by selecting the sheet corner cell, the coordinates (-1,-1)(-1,-1) indicate all the cells have been selected in all rows and all columns. |
| Column |
The range of columns that are selected is indicated by the two sets of coordinates, the first set of coordinates being the starting column and the second set of coordinates being the ending column. The -1 indicates all the rows in that column. If only one column is selected, both beginning and ending column coordinates are the same. |
| Row | The range of rows that are selected is indicated by the two sets of coordinates, the first set of coordinates being the starting row and the second set of coordinates being the ending row. The -1 indicates all the columns in that row. If only one row is selected, both beginning and ending row coordinates are the same. |
| Sheet | The name of the sheet indicates which sheet is selected. You cannot select more than one sheet in the Spread Designer. If you select all the cells in a sheet by selecting the sheet corner cell, the coordinates (-1,-1)(-1,-1) indicate all the cells have been selected in all rows and all columns. |
| Spread | Simply the word "Spread" indicating the entire Spread component. |
