Excel.CustomProperty class

Package:
excel

Represents a custom property.

Extends
OfficeExtension.ClientObject

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.7 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.
key

The key of the custom property. The key is limited to 255 characters outside of Excel on the web (larger keys are automatically trimmed to 255 characters on other platforms).
type

The type of the value used for the custom property.
value

The value of the custom property. The value is limited to 255 characters outside of Excel on the web (larger values are automatically trimmed to 255 characters on other platforms).

Methods

delete()

Deletes the custom property.
load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.
set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.
toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.CustomProperty object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.CustomPropertyData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
