You can reset various settings on various parts of the Spread component interface back to default or original values. You can also clear parts of the data area of various items, both data and formatting.

The ways in which parts of the component can be reset include:

• Reset the component to its original state using the FpSpread class Reset method.
• Reset the size of the component to its original size using the FpSpread class DefaultSize property.
• Reset the sheet to its original state using the SheetView class Reset method.
• Reset the skin properties for a sheet or sheets using the DefaultSkins class Reset method.
• Reset the value of a cell or the text in a cell to empty using the Cell class, ResetText or ResetValue method.
• Reset all the named style properties to their default values using the NamedStyle class Reset method. There are also individual reset methods for each of the settings in a style:
• Reset all the style settings in the StyleInfo object to the default settings using the StyleInfo class Reset method.

Reset the settings for cells, rows, or columns using the individual reset methods for each setting in the Cell or Row or Column class:

Reset all the named style properties to their default values using the NamedStyle class Reset method. There are also individual reset methods for each of the settings in a style:

If you are setting the background color for an individual cell, then ResetBackColor resets that cell's background color to its default color. If, instead, you set the background color using the BackColor property for a Row object, then you must use the ResetBackColor for that row. If you want to loop all the cells setting the color to White, you can speed this up by invalidating the painting in the Spread while you are looping the cells as shown in the following code.

fpSpread1.SuspendLayout()
fpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(0, 0, 499, 499).BackColor = Color.White
fpSpread1.ResumeLayout(True)

fpSpread1.SuspendLayout();
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells(0, 0, 499, 499).BackColor = Color.White;
fpSpread1.ResumeLayout(true);

Resetting the component or a sheet to its default settings returns the component or the sheet to its initial state prior to any design-time or run-time changes. It clears data, resets colors, and returns cells to the default cell type. Resetting the component resets everything in the component to the state when the component is first drawn on the form.

You can find out the default size of the component using the FpSpread DefaultSize property.

For more information about clearing data, refer to Removing Data from a Sheet.

For information on resetting values creating during the design using Spread Designer, refer to the explanation of this procedure in the Spread Designer Guide.
