Remarks

Custom names are identifiers to represent information in the spreadsheet. A custom name can refer to a cell, a range of cells, a computed value, or a formula. Methods that deal with custom names provide the same functionality as the Name in Microsoft Excel.

The name can contain up to 255 characters and can include letters, numbers, or underscores. The first character must be a letter or an underscore.

For more information on using custom names in formulas, refer to the Formula Reference.

Example
This example illustrates the use of this member by returning the expression value for a custom name from the sheet.
FarPoint.CalcEngine.Expression ex; 
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.AddCustomName("Alpha", "Sum(A1,A2)", 1, 1);
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetFormula(1, 1, "Alpha");
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 0, 10);
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 0, 10);
ex = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.GetCustomName("Alpha");
label1.Text = ex.ToString();
Dim ex As FarPoint.CalcEngine.Expression
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.AddCustomName("Alpha", "Sum(A1,A2)", 1, 1)
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetFormula(1, 1, "Alpha")
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(0, 0, 10)
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetValue(1, 0, 10)
ex = FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.GetCustomName("Alpha")
Label1.Text = ex.ToString()
