of_thaw_panes() method

Divide a worksheet into horizontal or vertical regions known as panes. This method is different from the of_freeze_panes() method in that the splits between the panes will be visible to the user and each pane will have its own scroll bars.

Syntax

worksheet.of_thaw_panes (x, y, top_row, left_col)

Parameters

YThe double whose value is the vertical position of the split
XThe double whose value is the horizontal position of the split
Top_rowThe unsigned integer whose value is the top-most visible row in the scrolling region of the panes
Left_rowThe unsigned integer whose value is the left-most visible column in the scrolling region of the panes

Return value

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

Description

The units for Y and X are the same as those used by Excel to specify row height and column width. However, the vertical and horizontal units are different from each other. Therefore you must specify the Y and X parameters in terms of the row heights and column widths that you have set or the default values which are 12.75 for a row and 8.43 for a column.
You can set one of the Y and X parameters as zero if you do not want either a vertical or horizontal split.

Examples

worksheet.of_thaw_panes ( 0, 8.43, 0, 1)	//First column
worksheet.of_thaw_panes ( 12.75,  0, 1, 0 )	//First row
worksheet.of_thaw_panes( 12.75, 8.43, 1, 1 )	// First row and column
