Syntax

Return value

Integer. Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs.

Description

The of_protect() method also has the effect of enabling a cell's locked and hidden properties if they have been set. A "locked" cell cannot be edited. A "hidden" cell will display the results of a formula but not the formula itself. In Excel a cell's locked property is on by default.
