Example XojoScript:

 

Dim hXL As Integer

 

// Get Handle to newly created Excel file

hXL = XLCreateFromTemplate("myXLtest.xls")

 

// Set default font for Excel sheet

XLSetDefaultFont(hXL,"Arial Narrow",8)

 

Dim listfont As Integer = XLAddFont(hXL,"Arial Narrow",8)

XLFontSetColor(hXL,listfont,"&h00FF0000"// red

 

Dim listformat As Integer = XLAddFormat(hXL)

Dim numberformat As Integer = XLAddFormat(hXL)

 

// Add font to formats

XLFormatSetFont(hXL,listformat,listfont)

XLFormatSetFont(hXL,numberformat,listfont)

 

// Set properties of listformat

XLFormatSetBorderBottom(hXL,listformat,"Hair")

 

// Set properties of numberformat

XLFormatSetAlign(hXL,numberformat,"AlignH","AlignHRight")

XLFormatSetNumFormat(hXL,numberformat,"NumformatNumberD2SepNegbraRed")

XLFormatSetBorderBottom(hXL,numberformat,"Hair")

 

If hXL > -1 Then

Dim i As integer

For i = 2 To 100

XLWriteString(hXL,i,0,"Zeile " + Str(i),listformat)

XLWriteNumber(hXL,i,1,i,numberformat)

XLWriteBoolean(hXL,i,2,i)

Next

 

XLSave(hXL)

XL(hXL,"launch")
