before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): Excel.Style;
Parameters
- propertyNames
-
string | string[]
A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.
Returns
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths?: {
select?: string;
expand?: string;
}): Excel.Style;
Parameters
- propertyNamesAndPaths
-

propertyNamesAndPaths.select
is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand
is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.
Returns
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: Interfaces.StyleUpdateData, options?: OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions): void;
Parameters
- properties
- Excel.Interfaces.StyleUpdateData
A JavaScript object with properties that are structured isomorphically to the properties of the object on which the method is called.
- options
- OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions
Provides an option to suppress errors if the properties object tries to set any read-only properties.
Returns
void
set(properties)
Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.
set(properties: Excel.Style): void;
Parameters
- properties
- Excel.Style
Returns
void
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 is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.Style
object is an API object, the toJSON
method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.StyleData
) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
toJSON(): Excel.Interfaces.StyleData;
Returns
Office Add-ins
